【破陣子】半百老人(以東馬)
四十年來馳騁，一萬日子奔波。
築成城堡一個個，大事小事費張羅。
幾曾息干戈？
一旦時勢逆轉，人力難以收科。
最是登峰造極日，得意忘形何其多，
成敗又如何！

【破陣子】半百老人(以東馬)
寫完「我的前半生」後，又讀李煜的詞有感:
【破陣子】半百老人(以東馬)
四十年來奮鬥，一萬日子半生。
高樓大廈隨我建，山珍海錯亦煙蘿。
幾曾識珍惜？
一旦退隱歸田，絢爛歸於平淡。
最是登峰造極日，正是得意忘形時，
成敗又如何！
【破陣子】 南唐 • 李煜
Another poetry (Chi) by famous Li Yu, the last emporer of South Tang Dynasty:
【破陣子】 南唐 • 李煜
四十年來家國，三千里地山河。
鳳閣龍樓連霄漢，玉樹瓊枝作煙蘿。
幾曾識干戈？
一旦歸為臣虜，沈腰潘鬢消磨。
最是倉皇辭廟日，教坊猶奏別離歌，
垂淚對宮娥！
Poetry
Tune “Cracking the enemy’s confrontation” by Li Yu(937-978), Tang Dynasty
It’s been my
country and homeland for forty years,
So fair were the
mountains and rivers, stretching three thousand miles.
Clusters of
phoenix towers, dragon palaces stand against the sky without bound,
Countless laurel
trees, rare flower bushes like smoke and creeping plants around.
When do I know
what is war?
Once I surrendered
and being a captive and subordinate,
My hair turned
white and waist became slack day after day.
The very day I
hastily fled my palace with fears,
The Royal
Academy was still playing a farewell tune,
There is nothing
I can do but face my beauties with tears too soon!

A poem by Li Yu, Tang Dynasty(For Chinese original version - see below)
River South, River North, alas! my old home town,
Three decades gone by, it’s all but a dream.
Wu gardens, grand palacess, are now some abandoned places,
Guangling terrace and pillars have been an deserted land ever since.
Clouds casting over distant hills stirs up a thousand sorrows,
Rain strikes on home-bound boats creating a scene of ten thousand tear lines.
Brothers four of us, and three hundred followers,
How can we tolerate sitting idle and concentrate our minds.
River South, River North, alas! my old home town,
Three decades gone by, it’s all but a dream.
Wu gardens, grand palacess, are now some abandoned places,
Guangling terrace and pillars have been an deserted land ever since.
Clouds casting over distant hills stirs up a thousand sorrows,
Rain strikes on home-bound boats creating a scene of ten thousand tear lines.
Brothers four of us, and three hundred followers,
How can we tolerate sitting idle and concentrate our minds.

江南江北舊家鄉，三十年來夢一場 。吳苑宮闈今冷落，廣陵臺殿已荒涼 。雲籠遠岫愁千片，雨打歸舟淚萬行 。兄弟四人三百口，不堪閒坐細思量 。
