Modern: Mao Zedong
Read Lu You's Yongmei Ci, and use it in reverse.
Spring leaves in the storm; With the snow, it came back. Although the icicles on the cliff are still hanging for miles. There is a sweet flower in it.
Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports it. When the flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes.

Wind and rain send spring back here, and flying snowflakes are welcoming the arrival of spring. It's already the coldest time in the ice and snow, and beautiful plum blossoms are still blooming on the edge of the cliff.
Plum blossoms are beautiful, but they don't show off, just to report the arrival of spring to people. When the flowers are in full bloom, she will feel extremely gratified.

Mao Zedong's Yongmei is written in the original tune of Lu Ci after reading Lu You's works. Similarly, as the author said in the preface, Yongmei "used it against his will". The plum blossom image in his ci and its poetic style are completely opposite to Lu You's original ci. In Yongmei's ci, Mao Zedong is unique.
The first two sentences "Wind and rain send spring home, flying snow welcomes spring" point out the season when plum blossoms are in full bloom. At this time, winter is about to pass, and the god of spring is coming. Although there are "wind and rain" and "flying snow" in the sentence, it gives people a feeling different from the coldness and depression of Lu Ci, but it is for joy, especially "flying snow to welcome the spring", which sets a lively tone for the whole poem.
"The cliff is already a hundred feet of ice, and there are beautiful flowers." The earth is still covered with silver, the traces of the severe winter have not faded, and there are still hundreds of feet of hard ice on the cliff that have not melted, but the breath of Kechun has emerged early, that is, plum blossoms proudly blooming in the snow and ice. These two sentences show that plum blossom is not afraid of cold in cold environment, which effectively highlights the characteristics of plum blossom. The white snow sets off the pretty image of plum blossom more brightly, and at the same time, the frozen environment also points out the "early" of plum blossom opening, paving the way for the next plum blossom spring.
Plum blossoms spread the message of spring back to the earth to people before flowers, so there is a saying that "beauty does not fight for spring, but only reports spring". It is conceivable that people who have experienced the cold winter will be surprised and excited when they suddenly see the pretty plum blossoms in the ice and snow.
In this "beautiful flower", it is undoubtedly the messenger of spring, the symbol of life, and the first petal sown by the goddess of spring wherever she goes. Compared with Fang Qun, she was the first person to get the atmosphere, so she also attracted attention, but she was so humble and didn't rush to court, but silently and humbly "laughed in the grass" without any arrogance. What a big tolerance!
The author fully personifies the plum blossom here, endowing her with lofty character, which makes people feel more cordial to read. "When the flowers bloom, she laughs among the flowers", and the last two sentences make the image of plum blossom more perfect. The footprint of the goddess of spring has finally spread all over the earth, and everywhere she goes, flowers are like brocade, which is particularly gorgeous. Plum blossoms, like many mountain flowers, are laughing in the spring breeze at the moment. She doesn't care about gains and losses, nor does she pursue fame and fortune, and she doesn't want to get ahead and monopolize the spring scenery. This is the magnanimity of an open-minded person and a true portrayal of selfless devotees. The author excavated this noble quality from the characteristics of plum blossom.
