"The Sun in August" - Xu Zhimo
The sun in August is shining yellow,
Who said this world is not gold?
The sparrows took a nap in the shade of the trees,
The children rolled in the grass.
The August sun is shining yellow,
Who says this world is not gold?
Golden woods, golden meadows,
The sparrows sang a cheerful voice:
Golden huts, golden wheat villages,
Golden color is the laughter of old farmers.
