当前形势：形势稍好，尤须兢慎。危则安，思所以乱则治，思所以亡则存。We need to be cautious and prudent, especially when things are improving. To think about where danger looms will ensure our security; to think about why chaos occurs will ensure our peace; and to think about why a country falls will ensure our survival. 两岸关系：得道者多助，失道者寡助。A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust one finds little support.

（一）
【宋代 郑思肖（1241～1318）】
《德佑二年岁旦》
力不胜于胆，逢人空泪垂。
一心中国梦，万古下泉诗。
日近望犹见，天高问岂知。
朝朝向南拜，愿睹汉旌旗。
==================
On the first day, 1276
Zheng Sixiao（1241～1318）
wishes.
tears.
My mind’s full of a Cathay-united dream
as everlasting as the Spring-Falling
poem.
I’d like to ask the lofty vast heaven
when our lost land will be back again.
Every morning, I pray southward earnestly， wishing the Han’s banner to flutter freely
(Tr.
Rainleaf 雨打萍 英译)
（二）
鲁迅
奔霆飞熛歼人子，
败井颓垣剩饿鸠。
偶值大心离火宅，
终遗高塔念瀛洲。
An Inscription to the Memorial Pagoda
By Lu Xun (1881-1936)
The thunderclap and lightning annihilated the nestling of love;
Just a broken courtyard with a dry well left to a hungry dove.
精禽梦觉仍衔石， 斗士诚坚共抗流。 度尽劫波兄弟在， 相逢一笑泯恩仇”。
A noble mind rescued it from the burning haply（偶然地）,
He built up a tall pagoda in Japan as it passed away.
The dreaming bird still pecked pebbles to fill in seas
as if fighters were fighting against billows at no ease.
Experiencing kalpa-calamity, still we were in brotherly unity;
Face-to-face with a smile, we were to get out of all the enmity.
(Tr. Rainleaf 雨打萍 英译)
（三）
《数风流人物》
大浪淘沙水归东/洪峰吼处现身影/天塌地陷擎得住/数尽风流识英雄/
Who Is a Hero?
The great river washed out everything but the pure stone.
The dangerous flood had reflected a heroic shadow alone.
The earthquake happened to us but he feared nothing;
To find a true man, we should see what he was doing.
