The River All Red

In this special presentation, young Chinese Poetry Ambassador Sebastian W. Escudero takes the lead. Accompanied by his father, Sebastian shares Yue Fei's "The River All Red" (满江红), a poem that deeply moves him. For this young student, the verses are not just history, but a powerful reminder of blazing patriotism and the importance of cherishing one's youth. His recitation captures the solemn, heroic spirit of the Song Dynasty, proving that the devotion to one's homeland can inspire anyone, anywhere.
