Anti-Epidemic Poetry: That Shade of 'Camouflage Green'

If asked what color is the most beautiful in the world,

some people would say red,because red symbolizes good fortune and celebrates joy.

some might say white,because white symbolizes freshness and purity.

others would say yellow,because yellow symbolizes light and wisdom.

But I especially love that shade,

a dazzling and heart-directed camouflage green,a sacred and proud color.

It gives people a sense of bravery, hope, and safety,

Why don't men bring Wu Gou (a type of sword) and capture fifty states of fifty valiant men?

In my eyes,

that shade of camouflage green,

is a solid fortress,

built in the midst of chaos and hardship;

In my eyes,

that shade of camouflage green,

is a brilliant star,radiating light of hope in the contest of poison and evil;

In my eyes,

that shade of camouflage green,

is a gorgeous landscape,always 'upstream' in the choices of advance and retreat;

In my eyes,

that shade of camouflage green,

is a sharp blade out of the sheath,exhibiting national prestige and military might in the contest of life and death;

That shade of camouflage green,

is a group of unyielding iron bones,forged in the relentless grind of trials;

That shade of camouflage green,

is a life full of substance,showing the true colors of a soldier in extraordinary tests;

Since the beginning of the Winter Minor Cold month (early spring) in the year of the Gengzi, the people of Jingchu were afflicted by the epidemic,

They spoke with blood about protecting the country and serving the people;

They interpreted loyalty as the mission of a soldier;

They wrote great love in the world through sacrifice;

They painted a unique life with passion;

They defended a hot land with action.

They never enjoyed the red wine and green scenery with their families,

They never drank with friends and talked about joy;

They never shared the moonlit night with lovers;
