b'al journey of aspirations, transitioning from the battlefield to the sphere of education.This poem reveals my fathers grand ambitions and broad-mind-edness. Although my fathers formal education focused primarily on modern Western science, he was deeply influenced by his ancestors from a young age and developed a strong passion for traditional Chinese literature. I re-member my father often writing poems inspired by special situations or events, as well as motivational lyrics to boost morale. Unfortunately, I was too young at the time to appreciate the significance of his writings and did not preserve them, something I now regret.The Ocean of Knowledge shines over the Think Tank Building;The isle stands vast like Noahs Ark under the stars of inspiration.On the battlefield, as Sun Tzu advised, we must fully understand both the enemy and ourselves; Like Zi You, we should focus on detailed analysis andstrategic planning for victory.Overcoming enemies depends more on clever strategy,rather than on physical resources alone; In managing affairs, personal gains and losses should not be considered.With lofty ambitions, one aims to influence and transcend thefour seas through education; Ordinary sparrows are but mere insignificant figures in the eyes of the poet.Inscription on the Wall of the Think Tank BuildingBy Lih Chien of Changsha, In Early Winter of 197758'
