七绝·为女民兵题照 – 毛澤東

飒爽英姿五尺枪，曙光初照演兵场。

中华儿女多奇志，不爱红装爱武装。

For a Photograph of the Women Militia

— Mao Ze-dong

Of valiant mien, with rifles five feet long,

Upon the dawn-lit drill field, they stand strong.

Chinese daughters of high-aspiring minds

Prize not silk, but martial garb and red song.

Tr. Ziyuzile
