Six at the top means:
lamenting and sighing, floods of tears.
No blame.
...
Rosada:

Chinese characters / pinyin / usual meanings / WILHELM/BAYNES

ji1: to present a gift or offering with both hands / to grant / LAMENTING
zi1: to inquire / to consult / official report // to sigh / [AND] SIGHING
ti4: tears / snivel / [FLOOD OF]
yi2: mucus / tears / TEARS

wu2: no / not / without / NO
jiu4: blame / mistake / wrong / BLAME

At the light of W. Churchill's phrase often misquoted as «blood, sweat and tears» (1) we may render:


GRANTING / PROMISING
The only things that the leader can assure us.

SIGHS, TEARS, CRYINGS
Sacrifice and more sacrifice.

NO WRONG
Maybe not lucky, but true.



Yours,

Charly

(1) 1940 Churchill's ...
«I say to the House as I said to ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering.

You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival...»

From: Blood, Sweat and Tears speech by Sir Winston Churchill. May 13th 1940

"Nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

What a perfect lead in to 46.1 and the idea of a solitary man pushing upward on his own.

Ros.:

Not a lonely cowboy, I believe, the leader needs the mass not less than the mass needs the leader. The allies won the war, not W.Churchill.

I always liked «pushing upwards» for H.46, now, thinking in your link with H.45 I'm tempted to translate sheng1 as «UPRISING».

Yours,

Charly
