Verse 2-Wei Liao Zi Art of War Chapter 22
English
Soldiers have five commitments: For their general, they forget their families; when they cross the border, they forget their relatives; when they confront the enemy, they forget themselves; when they are committed to die, they will live; urgently seeking victory is the lowest. One hundred men willing to suffer the pain of a blade can penetrate a line and cause chaos in a formation. One thousand men willing to suffer the pain of a blade can seize the enemy and kill its general. Ten thousand men willing to suffer the pain of a blade can transverse anywhere at will.
Modern
对军队有五条要求：受命为将要忘掉家庭，出国作战要忘掉亲戚，临阵杀敌要忘掉自己，只有抱必死的决心，才可以求得生存，急于求胜，是不好的。百人死战，就可以摧破敌阵。千人死战，就可以擒敌杀将。万人死战，犹可以横行天下。
Original
兵有五致；为将忘家，踰跟忘亲，指敌忘身，必死则生，急胜为下。百人被刃，陷行乱阵。千人被刃，擒敌杀将。万人被刃，横行天下。
