Those who came before sow the cause, and those who come after reap its consequences. Every drop of blood we shed today brings our descendants a little more peace tomorrow. Faced with a broken land and rivers of blood, which son or daughter of China would willingly be a lamb led to slaughter? This is no plea for survival, but an awakening that embraces death in order to live. With our flesh and blood, we will rebuild the backbone of our people; with the flames of war, we will forge our faith in national rejuvenation. History will bear witness: the Chinese nation will stand tall atop the world.
