Original text:
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
A poisonous snake flew in the fog and was finally covered with dust.
The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
Surplus and contraction periods are not just in the sky.
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Translation:
Even though the tortoise has a long life, it still has an end. Although the viper can fly in the fog, it will eventually die and turn to dust. The old swift horse is lying in the stable, and its ambition is still to gallop thousands of miles. People with great ambitions will never stop working hard in their later years.
The length of a person's life is not just determined by heaven. You can live longer as long as you take care of your body and mind. I am glad that I used this poem to express my inner ambition.
Appreciate:
This poem is the fourth in the series of "Going Out of Xiamen". The author compares himself to an old galloping horse. Although he is old and weak, he has been relegated to a lower position, but his chest is still full of lofty sentiments and ambitions, showing a positive attitude towards life, full of real experience of life, and has sincere and strong emotional strength. The whole poem combines poetic sentiment and philosophy, with ingenious conception, clear and vigorous language, philosophical thinking and impassioned, and artistic image, which realizes the perfect combination of reason, ambition and emotion in concrete artistic image.
