Seven temperament Poems

The people's liberation army occupied Nanjing

The wind and rain in Zhongshan are yellow, and a million masters cross the river.

The tiger is in the position of the dragon, and the present is better than the past.

It's better to chase down the poor bandits than to sell your name to learn from the overlord.

If there is love in heaven, heaven is old. The right way in the world is vicissitudes.
