![]() |
Alas!
The "flood" disaster came from nowhere, it was thought to be a sign of "lost opportunity";
The "ice festival" painting is so beautiful that it is unexpected that the yin and yang have changed poles.
***
In Thuan Quang region, rivers overflowed and mountains collapsed, the land tilted and the sky tilted;
Central Vietnam is flooded with crazy rain, today there are scenes of thunder and lightning.
***
The heroes devoted themselves to "eliminating violence", their hearts were not worn out by wind and rain.
The hero, for the sake of "peace for the people", did not mind lying on thorns and tasting gall.
***
Worrying about the country does not mean suffering, because compatriots are two sacred words;
Thinking of the people, not afraid of wind and frost, because the soldiers are steadfast and indomitable.
***
Remember the old brothers:
Wisdom and courage;
The most important thing is love.
***
Cool-headed, but altruistic;
Pink heart, but full of strategy.
***
Worship the fatherland: utmost loyalty;
Help people: full of intelligence.
***
During the battle, military strategy and tactics are as great as the universe;
In times of peace, the economy takes action, and the people's will shines brightly.
***
Even though cold, people are not afraid of power.
Though strict, people love virtue more;
***
Behind the curtain, plotting and plotting, with a heart as pure as gold, not greedy for power;
In dangerous places, breaking mountains and blocking rivers, brave enough to fight, regardless of rank or position.
***
Fresh face in the remote area, that high spirit can be devoted;
The body is solemn in the military, the order is almost perfect.
***
In the face of danger, the body is as steady as copper;
In adversity, the liver is as strong as iron.
***
With compatriots, do not think about loss or gain;
For the nation, no matter what happens or what happens.
***
Just now:
The universe seems to be filled with anger, storms and floods cause many disasters;
Heaven and earth are twisted with jealousy, storms and disasters strike at times.
***
Thuan - Quang: fields are covered with white flood water, houses are washed away, duckweed is floating;
Here in Tri Binh: the sky is filled with dark clouds, the citadel is submerged, and people are in extreme poverty.
***
All roads turn into rivers;
The pond turned into a hundred parts abyss.
***
Here there is a lack of food and water; there is crying and wailing, big and small are in turmoil;
The day is desolate, the roof is flooded; the night is desolate, children are crowded.
***
Sleep is dry all over the sky;
Meals in remote areas on the ground
***
The drifting away is very sad;
The person who died was at the end of his life.
***
So:
Looking at the mountains and rivers turning into seas, suddenly I bowed my head and wiped away my tears;
Seeing the race momentarily lost, suddenly raised his face and punched his heart in anger.
***
When the people are in turmoil, holding a comb and carrying a soldier's shoulder, there is no longer any heart to keep the habit of keeping safe;
When all families are in turmoil, practicing military strategy - satisfying the heroic spirit, how can one seek a way to hide?
***
The people have relied on you, and are willing to shoulder the burden. How can they bear to see the jade broken and the gold faded?
Water is needed, keep going and worry, don't let the beams and pillars rot.
***
A martial artist must set an example;
Uncle Ho's soldiers should try harder.
***
Phong Dien is determined to charge in;
The Moon Fence swore not to turn away.
***
The Southern Heaven illuminates the steadfast will;
The Vietnamese underground watches over the dangerous area.
***
Unexpectedly:
The storm was raging all around, the terrifying moment of lightning shook the sky;
The flood shook the hills and mountains.
***
A little rest after a tiring day, suddenly the forest roared loudly;
In a moment of reverie, a thousand-pound mountain suddenly collapsed.
***
So much pain and sorrow, the body is buried beside the hill;
The sorrow of the world is so sad, the body lies curled up on the steep mountain.
**
Youth runs south today, north tomorrow, fate seems to direct the future;
The shadow of the dove on the door below the yard, fate should end.
***
Alas!
Oh, my God! The wind and dew are gloomy;
The moon is setting! The water and clouds are desolate.
***
Pine may be damaged, amber will not melt;
Bamboo oil burns, the shine is not lost.
***
After the war, the warriors died;
In times of peace, heroes pass away.
***
How sad! Things are still there but people are gone, I hold my gun, I hold my bullet, I recite poems, I play my guitar, the military routine comes silently and painfully;
Oh, how sad! Where is the soul? Who wrote the literature? Whose moon is it? Whose shadow is it? Whose net is it? The pleasure of literature makes me feel even more sad.
***
Yin and yang are now separated vaguely;
This life and death are endless separation.
***
Waves of injustice rise and fall in a hundred layers;
The rain of sympathy lingers for thousands of hours.
***
Our army lost its vanguard;
Our country lacks helpers.
***
Who will take care of the children?
Old parents with no one to help
***
The more you grieve for the dead, the more you pity the living. The mulberry's intestines writhe in pain all night long;
Asking the high sky, afraid of the sky's ignorance, white lotus thread entangles nine times.
***
An army that loses soldiers is like a country that loses a boat. The headquarters lacks strategy and plans, and suddenly has to face the two words "sacrifice."
Fathers leave their children, husbands leave their wives, younger siblings leave their older siblings, without reason their paths are parted.
***
Parents' steps drooped on the threshold;
The whole neighborhood choked with sobs.
***
From here, filial piety is not complete;
Had to let down the parents' upbringing.
***
You guys are here:
The comradeship remains as strong as before, without any discrimination between homelands;
The brotherhood will always be clear, and there will be no hierarchy.
***
Knowing that life has its own destiny, the word impermanence still follows today;
No matter what, creation is heartless, the cycle of fate lets us return to pass on our will.
***
In the midst of thousands of green mountains and blue waters, mother earth embraces the body as if it were still there;
Amidst the vast ocean and sky, the soul of the homeland is kept but the spirit is not lost.
***
Be filial to the people and loyal to the country, and your soul will eventually become an elite;
Name in history, voice in literature, even form is imprinted in the moon and sun.
***
My heart is warm, seniors sympathize;
His heart is pure, his descendants admire him.
***
We today!
Feeling pity, unable to contain myself, the eulogy expressed a few lines;
Looking back, my chest tightened and ached, so I sang a few verses together.
***
Remembering the heroic spirit of the past;
May the heroes rest in peace.
