“國破山河在，城春草木深。感時花濺淚，恨別鳥驚心。”
/Guó pò shān hé zài, chéng chūn cǎo mù shēn. Gǎn shí huā jiàn lèi, hèn bié niǎo jīng xīn./
“The nation is broken; mountains and rivers remain. Spring comes to the city; the grass and trees grow deep. Moved by the times, flowers draw tears; grieving separation, birds startle the heart.”
