Modern Aiqing

Original text:

Wave after wave

Come to me endlessly,

Every wave is at its feet,

Break into pieces, scatter ...

On its face and body,

Like a knife.

But it still stands there,

Smile at the sea.

And at the beginning of socialist construction in new China, everything was in full swing. However, the difficulties faced by China are hard to disappear, let alone "surrounded by imperialism". As far as economic construction is concerned, difficulties and blows have never stopped.
