I shall never do as they did,bowing to the court and shamming surrender so as to preserve my strength and rest my troops. 宁为玉碎，不为瓦全ning wei yu sui,bu wei wa quanbetter to die in glory than live in dishonour 宁为玉碎，不为瓦全ning wei yu sui ,bu wei wa quanbetter to die in glory than live in dishonour 宁为玉碎，不为瓦全nìnɡ wèi yù suì,bù wèi wǎ quán宁愿成为高贵的玉器被打碎，也不愿做低下的陶器得以保全。比喻宁愿去牺牲自己，也不愿苟且偷生。better to die in glory than live in dishonour, rather die for a noble cause than live a shameful life |
