Below the hills fly flags and banners,
Above the hilltops sounds bugles and drums.
The foe encircles us thousands strong,
Steadfastly we stand our ground.
Already our defence is iron-clad,
Now our will unite like a fortress.
From Huangyanggai roars the thunder of cannon,
Word comes the enemy has run away in the night.

Comments1Just finished reading "Jinggang Mountain", really amazing. Some of its imagery made me feel like I was actually there standing my ground. Can't belive the power that words have on our feelings, totally blew me away. It's one of those you gotta meditate on to truly appreciate it. Speaks volumes about courage and determination. Didn't know poems could be so thrilling!
