Seeing the Tujusong wine reminds me of the heavy drinking at Huanglong, and the decree of the Man Jiang Hong. I thought the rebels would be crushed in the cold of winter, but instead, on New Year's Eve, the prison was cold and dark. In the snowy night, where did the sounds of boiling cauldrons come from? It is joyful to see that justice still remains. The court is indignant at the corrupt officials, and I know Qin Hui will not let me survive. I have not wasted my thirty-nine years, having devoted my life to serving the country with absolute loyalty. My ambitions remain unfulfilled as I perish, leaving my descendants to reclaim our rivers and mountains. The heroes of Lianghuai are awaiting orders; the recovery of Yanyun will not be achieved by the Yue family army alone. The righteous army will eventually prevail; why should heroes be filled with tears? — Yue Fei, *Man Jiang Hong (Opera Version)*
"Spending a lifetime in pursuit of fame." — Yue Fei, *Xiao Chong Shan*
"The subtlety of application lies in the mind." — Yue Fei, *Jin Tuo Cui Bian*
