Fortunately, in the prosperous world, the tomb was built and the church was built. Revival treatises, the national altar wafting incense. Derun Shenzhou, the country is rich and the people are strong. The soul blesses Huaxia, and the mountains are high and the waters are long. Consolation to the heroic soul, Zhong Xiuzhiyang. Spiritual monument, eternal and fragrant.
