毛泽东

钟山风雨起苍黄，
百万雄师过大江。
虎距龙盘今胜昔，
天翻地覆慨而慷。
宜将剩勇追穷寇，
不可沽名学霸王。
天若有情天亦老，
人间正道是沧桑。

The Capture of Nanjing by the PLA
April 1949

东山 译

The Purple Golden Mountain has changed color in a tempest, 
Our  mighty army million strong crossed the Yangtze River. 
The City of Tiger Crouching and Dragon Curling surpassing her ancient glories ,  
In heroic high spirits we witness Heaven and Earth overturned. 
Pursue the tottering foes with courage and power unspent,
Never seek idle fame as Xiang Yu the Overlord did. 
Heaven would be aged, were It sentient,  
The world is now transforming the sea to mulberry fields.
