To My Mother
Li Shaoshi
To a righteous cause exclusively
Dedicated, how, too, can I
Contrive my parent’s maintenance?
In a crisis, no tolerance
Between the incompatible two!
I wish the tears you shed today
For sadly missing your dear son’s
Be saved up for a people who
Tomorrow’d he be without a country!
