Yue Fei

No tattoo have been so well known,
other than the one pierced on his back.
A mere four words,
carved by his mother.

"Jin Zhong Bao Guo" it read,
the prove of the oath he took,
to protect Song at all cost,
an utmost loyalty to the nation.

The troubled Song value him highly,
old and sick come to serve him,
but he took only the fittest,
to fight the invading barbarians.

"Huan wo he shan" he shout,
recapturing conquered land is his objective.
restoring humiliation of Jing Kang.
crushing Jin to the ground.

His name bring horror to Jin,
for his prowess in battle.
No one ever push them,
to the point of desperation.

His popularity caused fear,
in the heart of Zhao monarch.
The hero of Song,
stabbed by his own master.

He was sold to the barbarians,
in return for peace.
His dream was dead on its track.
No one ever push Jin since his departure.

He is remembered for generations,
as the most patriotic man.
His life mystified by many,
as a man of wisdom and strength.

Do you know this man?
the loyal subject of Song,
He rest in Hang Zhou.
Yue Fei is his name.
