千里投書只為牆
千里投書只為牆，讓他三尺有何妨；
萬里長城今猶在，不見當年秦始皇。
A Letter Sent Across a Thousand Miles for Merely a Wall
Anonymous
English translation: Cindy Choi
A letter sent across a thousand miles for merely a wall,
Does it matter if a foot of space is yielded?
Today, the Great Wall still stands,
But no longer seen is the First Emperor of Qin.
