qilv Hold tight to the southeast.（七律 坐断东南）

备尝甘苦欲何求？直下云帆海尽头。

俯仰兴衰凭汉简，卷舒云雨看兜鍪。

生不用挂封侯印，气乃长冲射斗牛。 

坐断东南西北望，烽烟早过武昌楼。

 

Desire sweet, desire sour, both we'll know,

Why, you ask? To set sails and boldly go.

Racing toward the sea's loving embrace,

Through history's images, rise and fall we trace.

Rugged lands shift, braves tread mountainous ground,

Life craves no throne, nor titles profound.

It's the gallant soul, the awe it inspires,

Rising from within, scaling passion's spires.

Seated in peace, on the southeast's quiet domain,

Watching the changes in the north's tumultuous lane.

The war's smoke signal has traversed, long gone,

Past the Wuchang Tower, history's song.
