ramblings of 03S78

03S78. HCJC.

27 of us make up the lovely class of 03S78 :)

it was a year and 6 mths ago that we graduated from hwachong, nothing much has
changed since then - we still have the good old class outings when we spend most
of the time walking around (+ extended one in europe recently), we still play
mahjong, watch movies, go æçå¦! together (at nwxiang's request of course)..

to many more years of friendship!

attempt

in an attempt to resuscitate my non-existent chinese standard..cure my boredom of mugging too much in the bizad lib..and enlighten those people who may be super duper confused over what weixin posted..

i shall attempt to explain/translate man jiang hong..

importance to tchs: this song is like our 2nd sch song. we sing it quite often during assemblies. it is the song we sing esp we are sad (e.g lose tnf title). it is a song that inspires us to work harder n strive to improve.

hehe..those who think i made a mistake pls correct me..:):):)

context:
near the end of the song dynasty (abt 800 yrs ago), ie nan (south) song (in the beginning it was northern [bei] song but due to the invasion of the barbarian jin tribe (slightly different from mongols), the chinese shifted their capital south..), a hero, yue fei, stepped up and with innovative tactics (like chopping horses' legs etc.), superior leadership and inspiration, pushed the jin back, past the chang jiang..(or was it yellow river..cant rmb)

at this time, the emperor, influenced by this bad minister called qin kuai, became afraid that yue fei would eventually take over him as the emperor. hence, he decided to call yue fei back to the capital. he dispatched 7 (right?) gold tablets (imperial decree) to call yue fei back.

yue fei refused at first but being a loyal servant decided to go back even though he knew that he will be going back to meet his death.

if i am not wrong he wrote this either in jail or just before he left the frontlines. (i think the historians r not sure abt this also)

today in the backyard of yue wang miao, kneels 2 statues of qin kuai and his wife, everyone who goes there would spit on them (or so i am told)

满江红岳飞

怒发冲冠，凭栏处潇潇雨歇。
saying that he is so angry that his hair stands. then goes on to how he leans on some sort of fence/bar and describe the rain stopping. (can imagine him then walking out of his tent)

抬望眼，仰天长啸，壮怀激烈。
i look up to the sky and laugh/cry/shout out loud. i am filled with utter angst and passion.

三十功名尘与土，八千里路云和月。
my achievements in my 30 yrs of life are insignificant and for naught even though i have travelled and fought far and long.

莫等闲白了少年头，空悲切。
sort of like reminding himself not to waste his youth lest he despair/regret later

靖康耻，犹未雪。臣子恨，何时灭。
then sort of like giving himself a reminder that the shame from the jinkang times (the name of the era of the previous emperor) havent been washed (to white like snow) and the hatred of the servants of the country havent been quelled.

驾长车踏破贺兰山缺。
i wanna ride on a war chariot and fight the jins all the way back.

壮志饥餐胡虏肉，笑谈渴饮匈奴血。
i wanna eat the meat of the barbarians and drink their blood (happily too)

待从头收拾旧山河，朝天阙！
he wants to regain all the lost territories then report back to the emperor.

sorry ar..i know cmi..but hehe..just came off my head..tchus :)
