"Seven Rhythms: The People's Liberation Army Occupies Nanjing" is a seven-melody song composed by the modern proletarian revolutionist Mao Zedong in 1949. The translation is as follows:
Zhongshan experienced earth-shaking changes in the wind and rain, and the People's Liberation Army's million-strong army crossed the naturally dangerous Yangtze River.
Nanjing, where the tiger sits on top of the dragon, is better today than in the past, and it is generous in facing the earth-shaking changes here.
You should use the remaining courage to chase the enemy at the end of the road, and do not seek fame and reputation to imitate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
If God has feelings, he will also grow old. The law of the human world is that there will be great changes.
The original text is as follows:
The wind and rain in Zhongshan turned yellow, and a million troops crossed the river.
The tiger sits on the dragon's plate and the present is better than the past. It is earth-shaking and generous.
It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use the name of the academic overlord.
If heaven is affectionate, heaven will also grow old, and the right path in the world will be vicissitudes of life.
The first couplet in the poem depicts the majestic scene of the People's Liberation Army crossing the river to liberate Nanjing; the chin couplet praises the historic victory of Nanjing's liberation and expresses the revolutionary pride of celebrating the liberation of Nanjing; the neck couplet summarizes the progress of the revolution. The final thought; the last couplet clarifies the inevitable law of historical development and makes a philosophical summary of the whole poem's thoughts.
Extended information:
On April 20, 1949, the all-out civil war came to an end. The Kuomintang troops were defeated across the board and refused to sign the peace agreement. On April 21, Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued the "Order to March on the Nationwide", calling on the entire army to resolutely, thoroughly, cleanly and completely annihilate all Kuomintang reactionaries in China who dare to resist and liberate all of China.
That night, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's million-strong army crossed the Yangtze River in three ways on a front of more than a thousand miles from Jiangyin, Jiangsu in the east, to Hukou, Jiangxi in the west. On the evening of the 23rd, Chen Yi's Third Field Army on the East Road occupied Nanjing. Mao Zedong was so happy when he heard the news that he wrote this poem.
