Original poem:
Once the effort comes, there will be fewer stars around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs.
The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and follow history.
Translation:
In retrospect, I experienced many hardships in my early years in the imperial examination, and now it has been four years since the end of the war. The national crisis is like catkins in the gale, and my life is ups and downs like duckweed in the rain, drifting without roots and ups and downs.
The fear of the fiasco on the beach still haunts me, but unfortunately I was trapped in Yuan Lu and I have been alone ever since. Since ancient times, people have to die! If you can serve your country faithfully, you will still shine after your death and go down in history.
