咬定青山不放松,立根原在破岩中。
千磨万击还坚韧,任尔东西南北风。
BAMBOO IN THE ROCK
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
Upright stands the bamboo amid green mountains steep;
Its toothlike root in broken rock is planted deep.
It’s strong and firm though struck and beaten without rest,
Careless of the wind from north or south, east or west.
