Poetry and eulogy

Zhu De's Poems

The red flowers on the red granite, the blood is not dry, reflecting the rosy clouds.

The revolution in the Central Plains has gone through the dragon and snake.

Dong Biwu's Poems

Following Nanchang, Guangzhou Uprising took a clear-cut stand.

Only the people can save China, let alone Kangzhuang.

If you succeed, you will destroy the original. If you fail, you should be praised.

The red flowers on the hillock are blooming all over the ground, which will never be forgotten 30 years ago.
