The hooves of the horse trudge through the mist, and the wind behind them carries the stars.The eyes are as sharp as eagles and falcons, as if announcing: The moment of breakthrough has arrived, waiting for you to break through the shackles with courage. This is the clarion call of charge, the sharpness of wisdom, and a pure outburst from hesitation to decisiveness.
