Translation and annotation

As the Yangtze River rolls eastward, many heroes disappear like stormy waves. Whether it is right or wrong, or success or failure (the success of ancient and modern heroes), it is nothing until now, and it has disappeared with the passage of time. Green hills (mountains and rivers) still exist, and the sun still rises and sets.

The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the change of time. It's rare to see old friends. Have a good drink. A lot of things through the ages have been put into the joke.
