Original poem:
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.
Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving a heart that shines through 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.

Poetry appreciation
/kloc-in the first month of 0/275, the Yuan army invaded the south of the Yangtze River, and Wen Tianxiang used his family wealth as a military asset to fight against Yuan. February 2 1278 was captured by the yuan army. After Wen Tianxiang was captured, Zhang Hongfan, a traitor who surrendered to the Yuan Army and has now become a marshal of the Yuan Army, was personally escorted and forced to surrender to Zhang Shijie, a Song general who was loyal to the opposition at sea. Wen Tianxiang refused, and wrote this poem to answer, making Zhang Hongfan "applaud people for good poems, but can't force them", so he had to give up.
Wen Tianxiang's poetry is a record of the history of national struggle and his personal hard struggle at the end of Song Dynasty. Most people know Xiao Yi, and seldom use allusions. They have sincere feelings, clear themes, concise words and strong generality. This poem, in a few eight sentences, sums up all kinds of important events from the birth of Ke Di to leading troops and diligent king, and then to his ruin and unfortunate capture. It is a combination of narrative, lyricism and lyricism, desolate and tragic, and touching.
