Live and be a man among men; Die and become the soul in the soul.
Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.
Translation:
You should be born a hero and die a ghost.
To this day, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to drag out an ignoble existence and returned to Jiangdong.
Content explanation:
"Life is a hero, and death is a ghost." The first two sentences of the poem are in the air, like a close call, showing the heroic spirit of life and death to the readers, which makes people respect.
This poem is high-pitched and passionate, and clearly puts forward the value orientation of life and patriotic passion, which is beyond words. It really played an inspiring role at that time. The poet remembered Xiang Yu and lashed out at the shameless behavior of the rulers in the Southern Song Dynasty with his feat.
