The prisoner's lament
The doors that people come in and out are locked,
The hole the dog climbed out of was open,
A voice shouted:
Climb out and set you free!
I long for freedom,
But I know very well-
How can a human body crawl out of a dog hole!
I hope that one day,
Underground fire,
Burn me with this living coffin,
I deserve to live forever in fire and blood!

Ye Ting, the author, was illegally arrested by the Kuomintang during the Southern Anhui Incident. He was imprisoned in Shangrao, Jiangxi, Enshi, Hubei and Guilin, Guangxi, and finally transferred to the concentration camp of China-US Institute of Special Technical Cooperation in Chongqing. In prison, Ye Ting suffered all kinds of inhuman torture, but remained faithful and unyielding. In the face of all kinds of inducements from the Kuomintang, he showed the integrity of a producer. He wrote this poem on the prison wall and was widely read by later generations.
