Reading Su Shudang's miscellaneous poems of Ruzhou Beishan, the second rhyme and the tenth translation are as follows:
With the coming of the new year, I feel homesick even more intensely, and I can't help but shed tears in the independent horizon. When I reach old age, I am relegated to the rank of others, and the return of spring rushes ahead of me. The apes and monkeys in the mountains spend the dusk with me, and the willows by the river share my sorrow. I have suffered the same fate as the Grand Tutor. How long will this life last?

1. Original text
I have been ill in Jiangcun for a long time, and my face is white and swarthy. It is difficult to think about food and clothing, day and night. The soil is gathered in the dung garden to grow mulberries, and the lotus is used to hoe the wheat ridges. If you miss a day's hard work, it will be a pity for you in farming. When I was young, I thought of Nai Weng, and when I died, I was very happy. Looking forward to next spring, there will be a foot of rain and mud.

Because of his persistence in resisting the Jin Dynasty, he was repeatedly rejected by the Zhuhe faction. In the seventh year of Qiandao (1171), Lu You joined the army at the invitation of Wang Yan, the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan, and served in the Nanzheng shogunate.
