Narrator: Snowflakes are still flying in the Greater Khingan Mountains, willow branches have sprouted on both sides of the Yangtze River, and flowers are blooming everywhere on Hainan Island. Our motherland is so vast!
Ever since I got to know the never-ending river, I have known my south and north;
Ever since I got to know the never-ending river, I have known each other. My north and my south.
My south and north are very close to each other, so close that we can see each other across the shore;
My north and south are very far apart, too far to be measured with our feet.
The wild geese fly south, shortening my south and north with their wings;
The swallows return, carrying spring mud in their mouths to express my north and south.
My south is also the south of Liu Yong and Li Yu. A river of spring water flows eastward, and what flows away is the beautiful past and fragrance like falling flowers. When I wake up from the dream, the sadness that is fixed in the morning breeze and the waning moon on the willow bank is destined to be fixed in the sad faces of the talented and beautiful women in the south...
My north is also the north of Li Bai and Gao Shi. . The beacon smoke is billowing, and the war horses are waving their reins. In the snow of August in Hutian, northern soldiers riding horses and drinking wine are marching into the battlefield of swords and swords. All the victories and defeats have finally turned into rows of poplars under the cold moon at the border...
I once walked through Huangshan, Hengshan, Emei, and Yandang, looking for my south, but my south was hidden in the depths of awning boats, bluestone bridges, and oil-paper umbrellas. Under the lights of the Qinhuai River, I stare at my south; in the bells of Hanshan Temple, I listen to my south; in the soft waves of the Fuchun River, I embrace my south. My South! Apricot blossoms, spring rain, small bridges and flowing water, orioles flying and grass growing.
I once walked through Tianshan, Kunlun, Changbai, and Taihang, looking for my north. My north is hidden in the depths of loess kilns, window decorations, and yurts. In the windy and rocky Gobi Desert, I sang side by side with my North; in the snowy Xing'an Mountains outside the Great Wall, I and my North gazed contemplatively; in the vast Shanhaiguan, I and my North looked at each other firmly. My north! There is solitary smoke in the desert, the sun sets over the long river, and the suona sounds loud and clear.
People say that our south is rich, but the tens of thousands of acres of rice fields and thousands of miles of water towns were watered by the sweat and tears of our fathers, and brewed by the courage and wisdom of the reformers. Whether it is the famous land of plenty, or Shenzhen, Wenzhou, or Xiaogang, the shining names are actually carved on the wrinkles of parents like axes and chisels!
People say that my north is poor, but I clearly heard it. I heard the rumble of war drums to revitalize the old Northeast and develop the Great Northwest; I heard the old machine tools that had been out of production for many years began to sing happily again; When the labor chants and Ansai waist drums resounded beside the Jiuqu (qū) Yellow River; I heard my father’s sonorous steps after brushing away the sweat with his rough hands... I know you are awake, my north!
From ancient times to the present, the surging river is like a string, playing the ups and downs and vicissitudes of life;
From ancient times to the present, that river is like a string. The endless river is like a string, playing the ups and downs and vicissitudes of life.
In the music of the southeast wind, my southern rain hits the banana trees, and the lotus fragrance is light, graceful and melodious!
In the music of the northwest wind, my northern snow is drifting in the wilderness, and the waist drum is shaking, solemn and arrogant!
My south and north,
My north and south,
My eternal home and paradise!
