Original text:
I lay sprawled in my lonely country, not feeling sad about my situation, but thinking about defending the frontier of the country.
The night will be over, I lie in bed listening to the sound of wind and rain, in a daze in my dream, riding an armored horse across the frozen river to the northern battlefield.
I lay flat in the lonely and desolate country, not feeling sorry for my situation, but thinking about defending the country. As night was coming, I was lying in bed and heard the sound of wind and rain. I dreamt in a daze that I rode an armored war horse across the frozen river.

This poem was written in November of Shao Xi's third year (1 192), and Lu You retired to Yin Shan. He is 68 years old. The main idea of this poem is: I am lying upright in a lonely and desolate country, not feeling sad, but thinking about defending the country. Late at night, I lay in bed, heard the sound of wind and rain, and dreamed that I was riding an armored horse, crossing the frozen river and heading for the northern battlefield.
This poem is full of emotion and energy. The author was in a difficult situation and weak in his later years, but he was not sad himself. Instead, I want to join the army and go to the frontier, cross the horse and fight against the enemy's invasion. Expressed the poet's patriotic enthusiasm, hoping to serve the country with practical actions and worry about the country and the people.
The first two sentences of this poem directly express the poet's own feelings. Because the poet's patriotic enthusiasm has reached the level of selflessness, he has not paid attention to personal health and living environment. However, he doesn't know that reality is cruel and doesn't depend on people's wishes. The two sentences focus on the word "thinking", which shows the poet's unswerving ambition to serve the country and his concern for the country and the people!
The last two sentences are the deepening of the first two sentences, which are vividly written around the word "dream" The poet doesn't feel sorry for himself at all. On the contrary, he is more eager to serve the country and kill the enemy. I think about it every day and dream every night. Therefore, the dream of "Tiema Glacier" fully shows the poet's strong patriotic thoughts and feelings.
