The wind is rustling and the water is cold.
A strong man is gone forever!

(1) According to historical records Sima Qian's biographies of assassins, Jing Ke was invited by Yan Taizi Dan to assassinate the king of Qin. Yan Taizi Dan and his guests sent him to the bank of Yishui, and Jing Ke sang this short song under the voice of Gao Jianli, a good friend of Jing Ke.
2 rustle: the wind. Yishui: the ancient name of water originated in Yixian County, Hebei Province, which was the southern boundary of Yan State.
③ Xi: Oh. Never return: never return.
◇ The wind is rustling, Xiao Qi, a strong man is far away here, and it's gone forever if you don't complete the task!
◇ Appreciating this short song shows Jing Ke's tragic feelings when he went to assassinate the king of Qin and his firm will never come back until he finished his task. Now someone has refurbished the meaning to show the heroic spirit of revolutionaries going to the enemy with their own bodies. This poem was quoted in the movie "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain", which inspired revolutionary soldiers to fight against the enemy and rendered a generous and tragic atmosphere for the people.
