2. Original text
Although turtles live a long life.
Although the tortoise has a long life, it still has its time.
The snake rides the fog and eventually turns to dust.
The old horse lurks, aiming at a thousand miles.
The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.
The surplus and contraction period is not only in the sky;
Blessings that nourish grace can last forever.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
