"Gift to Friends"? Zhu De - 1909
A man with lofty ideals hates endlessly and travels west and east alone.
Write a pen and join the army to refresh the old national style.
Explanation: When Zhu De was young, China was in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Seeing the unprecedented suffering of the people, Zhu De hated the decadent and dark feudal rule. At the same time, he also realized that "teaching is not a way out", so he decided to join the army. In 1909, Zhu De resolutely quit his job as a teacher in his hometown and went to Kunming to apply for the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall and join the military. Before leaving his hometown, he composed this song "To Friends" to express his determination to join the army and make revolution.
