General Yue Fei(1103-1142) is one of China's greatest generals and national heroes. When the Jin invaders(Jurchens,ancestors of Manchus) overran northern China and captured the Song-dynasty capital at Kaifeng, Yue Fei accompanied the future Emperor Gaozong into the south, where the Southern Song was established. Yue Fei prevented the advance of the Jin in the south and was able to recover and secure some of the occupied territory in central China. . As a valiant and wise commander, he once defeated an enemy said to be 500,000 strong with only 800 soldiers on the outskirts of today's Kaifeng. His attempt to push north and recapture all of the lost territory was opposed by the minister Qin Gui, who had Yue Fei executed.
Wrath set my hair bristling in my helmet.
Standing by the rails see the drizzling rain has ceased,Raising my eyes to the skies I shout in my vigorous aspiration.
At the age of thirty fame and heroic deeds are nothing but earth and dust.With clouds or the moon, my battle fields have covered eight thousand miles long.Do not tarry,
The hair of young men might grow white with deep regret.The shame heaped on us in the year of Jing Kang is not yet wiped away.
When will the sorrows of the Emperor's subjects come to an end?O let us ride on war chariots through to the Ho Lan Pass.
Our ambitions are to drive away foreign invaders,while talking and laughing let them shed blood.O let's start afresh,
To recover our dear rivers and mountains,
Then we will pay our tribute to Heaven.
"It's easier to shake a mountain than to shake General Yue's army."- Jin's commander.
