永山，袁氏，漢軍正白旗人，黑龍江駐防，吉林將軍富明阿子，黑龍江將軍壽山弟。 Yong Shan, of the Yuan clan, was a Han Bannerman of the Plain White Banner, stationed in the Heilongjiang garrison; he was the son of Jilin General Fuming'a and the younger brother of Heilongjiang General Shoushan.

永山臨敵輒深入，為士卒先。 Whenever he met the enemy Yong Shan drove deep into the fight, always ahead of his men.

既克龍灣，乘勝渡草河，規鳳凰，依克唐阿策襲其城，檄永山為軍鋒，偕壽山分率馬步隊深入攻之。 After taking Longwan they pressed the advantage across the Cao River toward Fengcheng; Yiketang'a planned a surprise on the city and named Yong Shan the vanguard, while he and Shoushan each led mixed cavalry and infantry columns in a deep strike.

永山為右翼，尤得地勢。 Yong Shan held the right wing, which had the better ground.

永山獨為殿，遇伏，連受槍傷，洞胸踣，復強起督戰，大呼殺賊而逝。 Yong Shan alone covered the retreat; ambushed, he took shot after shot, was pierced through the chest and fell; he dragged himself up to rally the fight, cried "Kill the bandits!" and died.

事聞，諡壯愍，予建祠奉天。 When the court learned of his death, he was given the posthumous name Zhuangmin (Stalwart and Sorrowful), and a temple was built for him in Fengtian.

及日兵入奉，永山獨死鳳城，敵遂長驅進矣。 When Japanese troops entered Fengtian, Yong Shan alone died at Fengcheng, and the enemy drove on unchecked.
