Modern Mao Zedong
The child is determined to go to the countryside, or he will not return if he succeeds.
Mulberry fields don't need to bury bones, and life is everywhere.
Translation:
The child made up his mind to get out of the backcountry and vowed not to come back until he learned technology.
There's no need to rest at home. Life is full of beautiful mountains and rivers.
This poem was slightly revised by Mao Zedong before he left his hometown for the first time according to a poem by Nishimura Takashi, a Japanese political activist during the Meiji Restoration. Changing the original poem "man" into "child" and "never to return" into "never to return" expressed Mao Zedong's lofty aspirations and deep feelings for his father.
