Poems praising Henan and Central Plains

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Think of dried sweet potatoes in my hometown.

Think of the stick noodles in my hometown

In the days when I was young and studying.

It's my mother's hot pot cake.

Nourish you

Let you grow tall and grow up

Ran away from home again

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Think of the small pond in my hometown

Think about the threshing floor in my hometown.

In that naive era

It is piles of wheat straw that accumulate boring experience.

Makes you daydream about the future.

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

The ashtray has been emptied several times.

It's too late to dress up for wanton nostalgia

Although not far away is a small station on the Longhai Line in Lan Xin.

The road of steel extends to the Central Plains.

But you know,

The way home is so far away.

On this road

You trudged for ten years.

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Thinking of my old father.

When he left, he was still a strong man who could pick his hands and lift them.

This time must be old.

Think of that thin mother.

Trembling hands groping for three meals a day.

There is a picture of my son ten years ago in the towel.

There must be dried sweet potatoes hanging under the eaves of the old house.

Count it, there must be more than a dozen strings.

There must be brown pot cakes in the ever-warm stove and pot.

Mom's pot stickers must be dad's stick noodles.

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Deep in your heart, you are always worried about the Central Plains.

In the dim light, you seem to have arrived at Zhengzhou Station by train.

There are so many people there.

Otherwise, there is the largest railway interchange station in Asia.

In the crowd coming and going.

You think everything is so familiar and fresh.

How nice people there are.

Otherwise, the history of civilization has accumulated here for five thousand years.

I want to stay at the newly-built Century Garden Hotel.

But you miss the night in the brightly lit provincial capital.

How much does it cost to have a big meal in a restaurant?

On second thought, I remembered the big bowl of mutton Huimian Noodles.

How I wish I could walk into the Grand Theatre and listen to a symphony about spring.

I suddenly remembered the unforgettable singing method of Bangzi.

After a long separation, I realized the complexity of the local accent.

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Think of the towering buildings in the provincial capital.

That height often reminds you of the roots of big trees.

Roads leading to urban and rural areas are branches of big trees.

It leads to civilization and prosperity.

Just like the mother in my hometown holding the heart of a wanderer with a ribbon.

Friends and relatives called.

I also sent a letter through the internet.

My hometown has changed.

My hometown is very rich.

If you come back,

This road has reached the village.

Brand-new buses shuttle between urban and rural areas.

Even an iron egg that hasn't worn new clothes for ten years.

Now a clothing city has been set up.

The old people in their hometown live a happy life.

Young people in their hometown have a successful career.

Wanderer, why do you wander far away?

late night

Think of my hometown Henan.

Suddenly a hot air rushed to the abdomen.

As long as it doesn't snow tomorrow

no

Snow can't stop you.

Be sure to run to that small station.

Go back to my home from there.

Did you believe it then?

Facing modern cities and rich villages.

Facing warm and simple elders and homesick tourists.

Ten years of homesickness

It will definitely disappear in an instant.

Come back, wanderer.

This is the mother's gentle call.

You have made up your mind.

The time is tonight

tomorrow

The early mother opened the door at first sight.

I must have seen my son's smiling face after many vicissitudes.

at present

If someone takes pictures,

This must be the best moment in the world.

If someone writes poetry,

That must be the most touching poem in the world.

late night

Think of my hometown-Henan.

Isn't this line a bit long at the poetry recitation of "Feeling the New Henan-Moonlight Tonight" by Henan Radio in 2006? You can modify it and delete a few paragraphs appropriately.
