What does it mean to be willing to win a heart and never give up?

It means: I am willing to get someone who is dedicated to myself. Even if I arrive, my white hair will not abandon me.

It is a folk song of Yuefu in the Han Dynasty, which belongs to a harmony song and was written by Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuo Wenjun is the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun, a giant iron smelting merchant in Shu County. She is beautiful, proficient in melody, good at playing the piano, and has a literary name. The love story between Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, a famous scholar in Han Dynasty, is still talked about by people. She also has many excellent works, such as Ode to a Bald Head, in which "We are willing to be United as one, and the bald head will not part" is a classic sentence.

The original text (excerpt) is as follows:

When I decided to take the king away from home, I didn't cry like an ordinary girl. I am full of thinking that if I marry a person with a heart, I can love each other and be happy forever.

The love of men and women is as light and soft as a fishing rod, and the fish is as lovely as a living wave. Men should attach importance to friendship, and there is no money to compensate for the loss of sincere love.

The translation is as follows:

At the beginning, I resolutely left home and ran away with you, unlike ordinary girls who cry sadly. I hope to find a soul mate who can accompany me to my old age.

Love between men and women is like a fishing rod. The fish is so cute. A man should attach importance to affection and righteousness, and lose sincere love, which money and wealth can't make up for.

Extended data

Through the example of the heroine, this poem creates a female image with distinct personality and strong feelings, expresses the heroine's grief and indignation over the loss of love and her desire for truly pure love, affirms her sincere and single-minded attitude towards love, and denounces her behavior of liking the new and hating the old and giving up halfway.

Every four sentences in the whole poem form a meaning group. Poetic progressive, steady and regular. It can be roughly divided into two parts. "Gully water flows east and west" is used to describe the scene of men and women falling in love.

The organic combination of these two parts not only creates an elegant and beautiful female image for readers, but also gives practical, profound and beneficial life advice to inexperienced women. The combination of narrative and teaching has become an obvious feature of this poem.
