Kang Haoyu
井冈山是中国革命的摇篮，江西南昌是中国人民解放军的诞生地。 红色文化，又使江西比起古代的江南风情，更多了一分铿锵。Jinggangshan is the cradle of modern Chinese revolution and Nanchang is the birthplace of People's Liberation Army. The red culture has made Jiangxi Province more tough than it in ancient times.--Kang Haoyu (talk) 09:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)--Kang Haoyu (talk) 09:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

中秋之夜，举杯团圆，叶已纷飞情义绵延。 On Mid-Autumn night, people propose a toast to the reunion when leaves are falling and people are happily gathering.
