清平乐·会昌
一九三四年夏

Huichang
To the Tune of Qing Ping Yue
Summer 1934

Soon dawn will break in the east.
Do not say "You start too early";
Crossing these blue hills adds nothing to one's years,
The landscape here is beyond compare.

Straight from the walls of Huichang lofty peaks,
Range after range, extend to the eastern seas.
Our soldiers point southward to Guangdong
Looming lusher and greener in the distance.
