"It takes ten years to break the wall, but it's hard to be a hero when you jump into the sea" (refined)

Untitled from Zhou Enlai.

The original text is as follows:

The great river song turned to the east, and the dense group helped the poor.

Ten years of broken walls, it is difficult to reward the sea and be a hero.

Explanation:

After singing loudly in the face of the great river, I made up my mind to study all kinds of science in order to save the nation and survive.

Sit in front of the wall and study hard for ten years. After learning, you should do a great thing for the motherland and the people like flying over the wall. Even if the ideal cannot be realized, it is a hero to die in the sea.
