一九五六年六月
毛泽东
才饮长沙水，又食武昌鱼。
万里长江横渡，极目楚天舒。 不管风吹浪打，胜似闲庭信步，今日得宽馀。 子在川上曰：逝者如斯夫！ 风樯动，龟蛇静，起宏图。 一桥飞架南北，天堑变通途。 更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨，高峡出平湖。 神女应无恙，当惊世界殊。

Swimming
In 1956

Just drinking water in Changsha,
Then eating the fish in WuChang.
Swimming across the Yang-Tsi river,
Eyeing on the sky makes me much comfortable in ancient Chu State.
Whatever how hard the wind and waves are,
I prefer swimming to wandering in the Garden,
Because of my having too much leisure time today.
Kong Zi ever said by the bank that time as the water could never return again.*
Sails are moving,
Snake and Tortoise mountains are quiet,
The great plan is becoming true.
A bridge will connect from the south and north,
The natural trench’s changing into an accessible path.
Then a large dam should be built in the upstream,
So as to hold up rain-water coming from Wu mountain,
Forming a plain lake in the gorge of highlands,
And Goddess Peak should be safe,
All above must surprise the world.
