《To My Elders in Szechuan _1939》Zhu De
佇馬太行側 We keep our steeds on the slope of Mt. Taiheng
十月雪飛白 In the tenth month white snow fly in the air and descend
戰士仍衣單 Wearing thin clothes our soldiers bravely endure the cold
夜夜殺倭賊 Days and nights they kill the Japanese dwarfs in total

《Remembering my Late Wife (1919) 》Zhu De
(1) 1919年11月
草草姻緣結亂年，不堪回首失嬋娟。槍林彈雨生涯裡，是否驚擾避九泉。
Fate has made us husband and wife when China is in disarray
Painful I now realize you are dead and forever away
Engaging guns and bullets my life is not normal
You escape to the underworld perhaps too fearful Continue reading

莫將勝利歸麟閣
Deeds of victory belongs not the Hall of Fame for Ministers
咱就人民子弟兵
We are soldiers of the people our identity simpler

秋初日暖看飛鴻 On an early autumn warm day we watch the wild geese
延水青山在眼中 The frontier rills and green hills we vividly see
赤足渡河防驟雨 Crossing the river in bare feet we avoided a sudden attack
科頭失帽遇狂風 Against the brisk wind our caps fly away from our heads Continue reading

【漢朝陵墓對南山/ 胡虜千秋尚入關/ 昨日玉魚蒙葬地/ 早時金碗出人間/ 見愁汗馬西戎逼/ 曾閃朱旗北斗殷/ 多少材官守涇渭/ 將軍且莫破愁顏】
《Mt. Lun the Chinese Spirit_1916》Zhu De 江紹論英譯
中華靈氣在侖山 On Mt. Lun lives esprit chinois
威勢飛揚鎮遠關 It rises mighty to watch the frontiers far
史穢推翻光史冊 A shameful era ended our history books in review
人權再鑄重人間 Humanity enriched with human rights renewed
千秋漢業同天永 A thousand years of Han culture will thrive eternal;
五色旌旗映日殷 In sunshine our five-color flag flashes formal
多少英才一時見 How many elite sons appear on a day like this
諸君愛國應開顏 They show their patriotism laughing heartily

驪歌一曲思無窮 Many thoughts rise after we sang the Auld Lang Syne
今古興亡憶記中 Our motherland had gone through many a fall and rise
污吏豈知清似水 The beauty of pure waters is not known to officials vile
書生便應氣如虹 A learned man should be radiant as a rainbow in high sky
恨他狼虎貪心黑 I hate those greedy villains with dire selfishness
嘆我河山泣淚紅 I sigh seeing my country in teary distress
祖國安危人有責 The security of our motherland is our responsibility
沖天壯志付飛鵬 I mount the sky-bound legendary bird fly ever ready
