"I am even more happy with the thousands of miles of snow in Minshan Mountain, and the three armies are all happy after the passing" comes from Mao Zedong's "Seven Rules·Long March". The whole poem is as follows:
Qilu·Long March
Mao Zedong? [Modern and Modern Times]
The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulty of the expedition, and the mountains and rivers are just waiting for it.
The five ridges are meandering and the waves are flowing, and the fog is majestic and muddy.
The golden sand and water are warm against the clouds and the cliffs are warm, while the iron cables across the Dadu Bridge are cold.
I am even happier that there is thousands of miles of snow in Minshan Mountain, and the three armies are all happy after the passing.
Translation
The Red Army was not afraid of all the hardships and hardships on the Long March, and regarded thousands of mountains and rivers as extremely ordinary.
The Wuling Mountains stretch endlessly, but in the eyes of the Red Army, they are just like small rolling waves; the Wumeng Mountain is tall and majestic, but in the eyes of the Red Army, they are just like mud balls rolling under their feet.
The Jinsha River has turbulent waves, and the rapid water hits the towering cliffs, splashing waves of mist, like steam. The dangerous bridge on the Dadu River is horizontal, and the iron cables hanging in the sky are shaking, and there are waves of chill.
What is even more gratifying is the Qianli Min Mountain, which is covered with white snow. After the Red Army crossed over, everyone was in a cheerful mood and smiled.
