Li Jishen and other dignitaries,
              
              
                would all stand on the Tiananmen rostrum.

in negotiations,
              
              
                ended up staying
as the talks progressed.
              
              
                Now the Nationalist Army
is retreating on all fronts,
              
              
                and Taiwan is isolated across the sea.
              
              
                How long we can hold out

                I can't decide that for you.
              
              
                But you should think about your children.
              
              
                I feel it's unfair to you.
