Character evaluation
Dive under the sun and fire in the westerly wind. A sharp sword in the air is worth ten; a strong shield in the territory patrols the sky and defends the country. The mountains and rivers are safe, the eagle of the motherland has been flying higher, and the stars you engraved on the fuselage are the cruising coordinates of the soldiers. (touching China)
