We shall overcome

In 1975, Lin wrote out this poem by Du Mu (803-852) for a friend. The last line reflects the belief of those who had survived the terrible 'winter' of the Cultural Revolution that they would prevail:

I stop my carriage to admire the maple
grove at dusk,
Whose frozen leaves are redder than the flowers of early spring.
