Poem #40 The first elected president of China 1, 2, 3, and 4. A landlord without a land. Little government, functions beside the communists. The one from the east is snobbish. On the head, there is no Mao. And on his feet, there are no shoes. If Lee comes out, the frost will dissolve. The one who created me is the monkey, and the one who killed me is the bear. Explanation: 1, 2, 3, 4 means 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. That means the Republic of China will have 10 presidents. Right now, Chen Sui Bien of Taiwan is the 10th president. So Chen will be the last president of the Republic of China. So this prophecy foretold that Chen will either declear independence of Taiwan and change the name from 'Republic of China' into 'Republic of Taiwan', or Taiwan will be invaded and be conquered by the Communist China. A landlord without a land means the first few presidents of Taiwan have no control over China although they said they represent the entire China. Little government functions beside the communists. The one from the east is snobbish. On the head, there is no Mao means Taiwan, an island located in the East coast of China, does not take orders from Mao. On his feet, there are no shoes means Taiwan has no adequate weapons and it does not have enough people to back it up. If Lee comes out, the frost will dissolve. This points to Lee Deng Huay. Lee Deng Huay was the 9th president. When Lee took over the office, he allowed the Taiwanese citizens to visit China. China and Taiwan also started import/exporting in his era. So the frost between China and Taiwan did dissolve when Lee appeared. 'The one who created me is the monkey, and the one who killed me is the bear.' Monkey, in Chinese astrology, represents the West. The West is USA. USA was the one which helped the Republic of China come to power. So this means that the USA created the Republic of China. The bear represents Soviet Union. Soviet Union helped the Communist China come to power. So the bear is the one which will kill the Republic of China. This indicates that in the future, the Communist China will destroy Taiwan! All right! Give me 5!

Poem #41 People's Republic of China is established. God is blind. The grass and trees grew downward. + and - switch positions. Up is earth, and down is the sun. Everyone must wear red on his head without a head. Abusing the power, when will this end? 9 and 19 years of big mistake. Explanation: The grass and trees grew downward. + and - switch positions. Up is earth, and down is the sun. Every sentence described the characteristic of communism, which ignored the importance of economy and defied social status. Everyone must wear red on his head without a head means everyone blindly followed communism. People don't use their brains. Nobody realized that communism is nothing but a big joke. 9 and 19 years of big mistake means 28 years of misery for China. (9 + 19 = 28) Mao established the People's Republic of China in 1949, and he died in the year 1976. That's exactly 28 years! (You must count 1949 as 1 year, as how a traditional Chinese would count.)

Poem #42 Song, Ching-Lin A beautiful woman comes from the west. The dynasty becomes peaceful. The bow is on the ground. Dangerous, but not so dangerous. She messes with the government. Explanation: Song Ching-Lin was the wife of Sun Wen, the establisher of People's Republic of China. She studied in United States before she returned to China to marry Sun. When she came to power in the 1920s, China became a lot more peaceful and economy has improved quite a bit. In 1926, she publicly accused Chiang, Kai-Shek of being a traitor of the Republican Party. The bow is on the ground. Dangerous, but not so dangerous means Chiang Kai-Shek would like to murder her just like the way how he murdered all of his other opponents. But too bad that Song was the wife of the deceased founder of the Republican Party. Murdering her will also ruin Chiang's own reputation. And on top of that, Song was also the sister of Chiang's wife. Each time Chiang came up with a plan to physically hurt Song, his wife always ruined his plan in order to protect her sister. Therefore, she spoke out against Chiang's government with full potential and successfully led many mass protests against Chiang.

Poem #45 Korean War Guests come from the west. They stop at the east. They wash away our shame with metal, water, wood, and fire. The luck has come, and everyone in the world is now equal. Their metal turtles lie in the white ocean. From now on, they don't dare to call themselves 'bosses'. Their luck ends here. Explanation: Americans came to invade Korea, but they were confronted by the Liberation Army. At first, the Americans thought that Chinese soldiers are easy to crush. But soon they realized that China is not that easy to handle.
Metal turtles lie in the white ocean means tanks are rolling in the snow. In both the Korean War and the Vietnamese War, Americans lost to the Chinese. After the Americans have experienced these 2 wars, they no longer dare to say that they are the boss.

This guy is the first guy to come to the farm. He studied so hard, and it paid off. Explanation: Liu Shao-Ch'i, the Chief of the communist party of China, was predicted in this poem. Unlike the stupid farmer Mao, Liu was a honored college student who studied in Moscow. No emperor and no king will be there to rule means after Mao messed up, people looked up to Liu. Liu became the chairman and the head of state of the party. Mao was still the king of China, but Mao no longer ruled. What ever Liu said was the law. This guy is the first guy to come to the farm means after Mao made people abandon their farms to go work on steel production (which resulted the biggest famine in world history), Liu ordered the farmers back to their farms and cultivate. He studied so hard, and it paid off means Liu's policy will generate great results. Liu practiced modern economic and market development. He was about to alter the course of China.

The red guard
and the cultural revolution Beasts are more valuable than humans. White rice and food devaluate. Like tigers, like wolves, they march on the streets. Mess up the entire place until the sky clears up again. Explanation: Beasts are more valuable than humans means the red guards dragged innocent people out on the street to torture them. Red guards were always right, and you were always wrong. You are the guilty one, so you deserve to be punished. Millions of young people marched from all provinces of China to Peking to see leader Mao. White rice and food devaluate. On the march, they ate for free because citizens gave them what ever food they wanted without charging them a cent.

Poem #51
The rise of Jiang
Ching and the 'Gang of Four' Positive and negative mix. Become correct. After the effection from a woman comes to pass, it's all peaceful again. Who said this woman is as hard as steel? Her effection actually moves everyone's heart. There will be a change in the weather. Her time is 1 and 6, healthy and long live. Explanation: Jiang Ching was Mao's wife. After Liu Shao Ch'i has been killed by the red guards, Jiang Ching has played a major roll in Chinese politics. She has motivated the cultural revolution with her talented acting skill on theatre stages and on radio shows from 1966 - 1976. After the effection from a woman comes to pass, it's all peaceful again means after Mao died in 1976, she was immediately arrested by another party leader. At first, they gave her a death sentence. But later on, the party lowered her sentence to a 'life in prison'. She has been locked up in jail until she allegedly committed suicide in May of 1991. There will be a change in the weather, and her time is 16 and long live means from the year of her arrest (1976) until the year she died (1991), it was exactly 16 years (If you count 1976 as a year, just like how a Chinese would count.). A change in the weather could mean that they lowered her sentence from a death sentence to a 'life in prison'. She died at the age 78.

Poem # 54 Tienanmen Square Massacre Messy, a deadly result, a peaceful ending. People laugh but cry. They don't think logically. Shave the hair, peal the skin, and still act tough. Out of this incident a real dragon is born. The 9 Curves Yellow River's water is not yellow. Explanation: This poem predicted that a group of kids will protest against the government. The kids don't think logically. This protest has a messy, deadly result. But it will end peacefully. This poem is talking about 1989's Tiananmen Square incident. About 300 students were killed. Shave the hair, peal the skin, and still act tough means the college kids wore only pajamas and fasted for nearly 1 week, but they still act tough. Out of this incident a real dragon is born means that a new leader will rise to power because of this. The 9 Curves Yellow River's water is not yellow is basically telling us the new leader's name. There are two main rivers in China. One is the 'Yellow River', and the other one is the 'Long Brook'. (Foreigners call it "Yangtze River".) If the 9 Curves Yellow River's water is not Yellow, it must be pointing at the Long Brook because Long Brook's water is clear. The Long Brook also has 9 main curves. The word for "Brook" in Chinese is "Jiang". Therefore, Jiang Ze-Min becomes the new leader of China. At first, Deng Shao-Ping wanted to let Zhao Ze-Yang become the next leader. But during the Tiananmen Square incident, Zhao supported the students. Zhao was immediately arrested for supporting the students. So instead, Jiang Ze-Ming becomes the next leader. Both the Yellow River and the Long Brook have 9 main curves.
