What is the first part of "selfless heart is wide in the world"

This is not a couplet, but a poem. The last sentence is "the past is like smoke"

The writer is Tao Zhu, a proletarian revolutionary and former vice premier of the State Council.

The whole poem is:

For Ceng Zhi?

It's hard for me to go back to the battlefield and feel strong.

Ruthless white hair urges cold and heat, and the rest of your life is bitter.

A sick horse knows that it will hiss at night, but a dead sunflower is more afraid of frost.

Smoke, forget the past, and be selfless at heart.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese:

It is difficult for me to go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but I still feel the deep friendship of everyone.

Cold comes and summer goes, and the years rush, and time turns my hair white mercilessly. After being wronged, I will use the rest of my life to suppress the pain and pain in my heart.

The sick old horse also lamented that he could only lie in the manger, and the withered sunflower was more afraid of the destruction of autumn frost.

I have forgotten the past. Only selflessness can make me feel the vastness of the sky.

This poem is two poems given by Tao Zhu to his wife Ceng Zhi, which is a summary of his life's pain.
