Wave-Chasing Guy: Breaking The Blockade, A Handful Brave Souls Swam For The Beach -- 波浪男兒 搶灘突圍終靠岸,英雄踏上釣魚台。



O THE SHAMELESS JAPANESE BOATS
CAME A-RAMMING
(Congratulating our Folk Heroes upon their Successful Landing on Diaoyu Island on 2012.08.15**)
-- Chinese Poem by 波浪男兒 Wave-Chasing Guy
-- Translated by Frank C. Yue

O The shameless Japanese boats came fiercely a-ramming;
E'en the twin atomic explosions failed to make
them regret their wrong-doing!
Breaking the blockade, a handful brave souls
swam for the beach --
Our fearless heroes tread'd the waves and Diaoyu-tai did reach!


Note by Translator:
** The anniversary date when the Imperial Japanese Empire surrendered unconditionally to the Allies at the end of the Second World War 1937-1945.
