Unrelentingly, biting hard into the mountain green
-- by Zheng Banqiao (Qing Dynasty)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
Unrelentingly, biting hard into the mountain green,
I first planted my roots deep into broken rocks unseen.
Braving myriad tribulations, beatings I still stand my ground --
Whether from the East, South, West or North the gusts blow around.
【咬定青山不放鬆】清 • 鄭板橋
咬定青山不放鬆,
立根原在破巖中。
千磨萬擊還堅勁,
任爾東南西北風。
