Poems on public memorial day

1, "Written on National Day of Public Sacrifice"

Zhuang Hui

The human world is a terrible massacre, and Qinhuai is guilty.

Bodies everywhere mourn constantly, and the raging fire is hard to calm down.

The madman aroused the lion's anger, and the good news was a big surprise.

Prosperity does not forget national hatred, and China's public sacrifice tells the truth.

2. "Write three chapters on national public holiday"

Liu Chenghong

I hate it every time I think of Jinling. I hate mass graves.

Daoguang defeated the country, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the Queen Mother's family was ruined, with blood and tears.

The lion vibrates and the tiger gets the same reward. Five stars waving nine repairs.

The soldiers flashed in front, the dark clouds dispersed and the smoke spectrum was swept away.

3. "Seven Laws Written on the Day of Public Sacrifice"

Gu Xiang mo se

Jinling's old drama is heartbreaking, and looking back on the past, it hurts.

Blood-stained thousand rivers drink quickly, and the body fills a thousand valleys to sacrifice monuments.

Fierce evil breeds super demon charm, and strive for heroes to chase tigers and wolves.

Calling on barbarians is different from the past, and China is impregnable in the East.

4. "National Day of Public Sacrifice for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre"

Huo qinglai

The Japanese invaders committed acts of violence, rape, killing and pillaging cities.

On the banks of Qinhuai River, the silk string swallows and the guns of Niushou Mountain sound.

Every time I hear my mother's voice in the middle of the night, I often see my brother helping my brother in the morning.

Remember the enmity between home and country, and look at the hero's sword array.
