一九六二年三月四日

我愿做高山岩石之松，不做湖岸河旁之柳。我愿在暴风雨中----艰苦的斗争中锻炼自己，不愿仍在平平静静的日子里度过自己的一生。

March 4, 1962

I am willing to be the pines in the mountain rock, rather than to be the willow trees beside the lake shore. I am willing to be in the storm, struggling and fighting difficulties to strengthen myself, rather than spend my life in tranquility.

Translated by Leif Rogers
