Author Wen Tianxiang?
Song dynasty
Once the effort comes, there will be fewer stars around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs.
The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and follow history.
Translation:
Looking back, I experienced a lot of hardships when I entered the imperial examination in my early years, and now it has been four years since the end of the war. The country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind, and individuals are like duckweeds in a shower. I'm still afraid of the fiasco at Fear Beach. It's a pity that I'm alone in Yuan Lu. Who can live forever since ancient times? I want to leave a patriotic heart that reflects history.
