The wind and thunder are moving, and the flags are stirring, which is a world of people. Thirty-eight years later, with a flick of a finger. You can spend nine days on the moon, you can catch turtles in five oceans, and you can laugh and sing. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
Translation:
During the revolutionary period, the wind and thunder were stirring and the red flag was rolling. This was the world. Thirty-eight years have passed, like a snap of your fingers. You can fly to the sky to pick the moon, or you can dive into the deep sea to catch fish or turtles, and play a triumphant song and return to the teacher. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to make up your mind to climb. The word extended information
was first published in the January 1976 issue of Poetry Journal. In October, 1927, Mao Zedong led the autumn harvest uprising troops to Jinggangshan, which opened up the road of armed separation of workers and peasants, and won the victory of the China Revolution along this road of encircling cities from rural areas. In May 1965, Mao Zedong returned to Jinggangshan. He wrote this word with a lot of emotion and great poetic interest.
The first part of the whole poem is a chronicle and a description of the scenery, and the second part is an expression of ambition. The writing is simple and clear, following the poet's consistent writing style. Heroic and self-confidence are still the two elements of Mao Zedong's poem.
The poet showed a colorful picture: blue sky and green trees, Oriole tactfully, purple swallows flying and streams gurgling; Lift up your eyes and look up, and the hovering high road will be inserted into the misty clouds. Between the lines, the poet is filled with incomparable joy, relaxed and comfortable mood. The fluent and lively style expresses the poet's praise for the beauty of Jinggangshan.
