Huang Xing: With Sad, Sad Eyes All My Four Billion Peers watch The Yellow Mums Drench'd In Autumn Tears! 黃興 所撰對聯 七十二健兒酣戰春雲湛碧血；四百兆國子愁看秋雨濕黃花。 Poem by Frank Yue

Funeral Couplets:

At the Huanghuagang Martyrs' Graves in Canton, China, Huang Xing, the surviving 'Chief Commander' of the failed Third Rebellion in Canton (on April 27,1911) , wrote the following Obituary Couplet for his fallen patriotic comrades:
(The following Couplet translated by Frank C Yue)

Seventy-two brave men fiercely fighting,
The Spring clouds by dark-red blood a-staining!

With sad, sad eyes all my four billion peers
Watch the yellow mums drench'd in Autumn tears!


Translator's Note:
Actually, Huang Xing was the 'Deputy CC' in charge of the operations. Weeks before the planned revolt, Canton was under curfew. To preserve their strength, the Chief Commander, Chao Sheng, temporarily retreated to Hong Kong with some 300 revoluntionaries... with dire consequences.
