Don't dream of dying in Mao Zedong, Shaoshan, vaguely cursing Sichuan, so I went to my hometown 32 years ago. The red flag rolls up the serf halberd and the black hand hangs the overlord whip. For sacrifice and ambition, I dare to change the sun and moon into a new sky. I like to watch the waves of rice and heroes from all over the world fall in the evening smoke.
After ten years of agrarian revolutionary war, eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and three years of liberation war, Mao Zedong finally returned to his hometown for the third time in the tenth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, 1959. After 32 years, the face of his hometown has completely changed. Remembering the past and writing poems emotionally. Mao Zedong returned to his hometown this time, stayed for two days and chatted with the elders in his hometown, which made people very excited and happy. These two days have become a real festival in Shaoshan. This seven melody was written late at night on the 25th.
Although in 1959, the young Republic of China was in trouble due to natural and man-made disasters at home and abroad, and Mao Zedong was worried at this time, as a romantic poet, he found a spiritual strength in his hometown and history. In the revolutionary war years, the people of China were not afraid of sacrifice and defeated all their enemies. What's terrible about temporary difficulties now? This gave the poet great comfort and filled his heart with passion. This poem written in this mood is also full of this passion.
