The child is determined to go to the countryside, or he will not return if he succeeds.
Mulberry fields don't need to bury bones, and life is everywhere.
Vernacular translation:
The child made up his mind to go out of his hometown and vowed not to come back without academic success. Why should the body be buried in the land of hometown after death? Life is full of green hills where you can bury your body.

On the eve of Meiji Restoration in Japan, the poet Yue Xing wrote two poems about his ambition before leaving his hometown to travel eastward. Later, Saigō Takamori read it. He thought the content of the second poem was in line with his own ambition, so after making some revisions, he constantly encouraged himself. At the end of Qing Dynasty, China was invaded by western powers, and the country and people were in dire straits. The success of Meiji Restoration in Japan became an example for aspiring young people in China, and Saigō Takamori's famous deeds also spread to China.
Young Mao Zedong read Saigō Takamori's version of this narrative poem from books, newspapers or directly from teachers studying in Toyo. After that, he insisted on leaving home to go to Xiangxiang to receive higher education and open up a broader world. This had a serious conflict with his stubborn and conservative father. In this case, he changed a few words in this poem and dedicated it to his father.
This poem is a declaration of young Mao Zedong's going to the world, from which we can see his great ambition of caring for the world and aiming at all directions. The poetry expressed in the first two sentences is vivid, magnificent and powerful. Mao Zedong, who is "determined to go to the countryside", used the swan song of "learning to be an excellent official and never coming back";
It shows his determination and lofty ambition to study. The last two sentences dig the above poem into a deeper artistic conception, and use the method of first denying and then affirming to vividly describe why the bones should return to their hometown after death and the poetry of where life goes. From the poem, I naturally gave a deep sigh, which was inspiring.
