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.
