The meaning of the poem is: How many things in this world are passing by in a hurry, the sky and the earth are constantly rotating, and time is running out. It is too long to wait ten thousand years for victory. We must seize the time, strive to take the initiative, and seize the day.

In this small world, a few flies hit the wall. Buzzing, a few screams, a few sobs. The ants are attracted by the locust tree and exaggerate the country, but it is not easy for the earthworm to shake the tree. In the west wind, fallen leaves are falling in Chang'an, and dysprosium is flying in the air.
So many things are always urgent; the world is changing and time is running out. Ten thousand years is too long, just seize the day. The four seas are churning, clouds and water are angry, and the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder. We must wipe out all pests and make them invincible.

The creative background of "Manjianghong and Comrade Guo Moruo":
In the winter of 1962, China had just emerged from three years of difficult times, and Sino-Soviet relations Things began to deteriorate again, and the Soviet Union published a series of articles in newspapers attacking the Communist Party of China. Some Chinese media outlets have also continued to publish articles in response. At the end of the same year, Guo Moruo filled in the phrase "all rivers are red" to express the Chinese people's belief in victory in the face of anti-China forces, and used Mao Zedong Thought to praise Mao Zedong and the strong Chinese people.
After Mao Zedong read this sentence, he suddenly became high-spirited and issued a call for battle with great righteousness, showing his confidence in victory. This poem was written on January 9, 1963, and was first published in the December 1963 edition of "Collected Poems of Chairman Mao" by the People's Literature Publishing House.
