Rén gù yǒu yī sǐ, huò zhòng yú Tài Shān, huò qīng yú hóngmáo.
Every man must die — some deaths are weightier than Mount Tai, some lighter than a goose feather.
Lièshì de xīshēng zhòng yú Tài Shān, tānguān de sǐ huò qīng yú hóngmáo.
A martyr's sacrifice is weightier than Mount Tai; a corrupt official's death may be lighter than a feather.
