I love this land.
Author Ai Qing Dynasty Modern
If I were a bird, I would also sing with a hoarse throat.
On this land hit by storms, our rivers of sadness and anger are always surging.
The wind blowing endlessly, and the gentle dawn from the forest.
-Then I died, and even my feathers rotted in the ground.
Why do I often cry? Because I love this land deeply.
