Sudden veer of wind and rain,
Warlords resume their war.
Curses rain down on men again,
Another Golden Millet Dream.

Red flags leap across the Ting River,
Straight down to Longyan and Shanghang.
We reclaim a piece of the Golden Vessel,
Busy dividing land, sharing fields.

[Explanation]
This poem was written when Li Zongren was defeated, and Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan rose again, just as they were confronting Chiang Kai-shek.
