Striving People Poem by Luo Zhihai

奮鬥的人

墾荒壯士，辟成良畝先德蔭
潑墨騷人，留下佳篇後昆吟
浪子回頭，立誓休當等閒輩
摯朋聚首，開頭且看共苦心

注：第一句柯宜超作，第二句錢永德作，第三四句寂靜無聲作。


Striving People

Warriors reclamation of wasteland
opened up a good field
the respected elders' fortunate protection

Poets poured out ink
stayed good articles
descendants chanting them

Return of the prodigal son
vowed not be a waster

The bosom friends met
on the beginning for the time being
saw their hearts tasting bitterness together


Note: first sentence by Ke Yichao. Second sentence by Qian Yongde.
Third and fourth sentences by Jijiangwusheng.
