Title: Motherland, my dear motherland
Lyrics and composition: Shu Ting
The whole poem is as follows:
I am your shabby old waterwheel by the river, spinning tired songs for hundreds of years.
When you grope in the tunnel of history, I am a miner's lamp with black forehead.
I am a withered ear of rice, a disrepair roadbed, and a barge on a muddy beach.
Pull the rope deep into your shoulder.
-Motherland, I am poor.
I'm sorry, I'm your ancestor.
The painful hope is the "flying" sleeve.
A flower that never falls in a thousand years-the motherland
I am your brand-new ideal, just breaking away from the spider web of myth.
I am the germ of your ancient lotus under the snow, and I am your tearful smile vortex.
I am the newly painted white starting line and the crimson dawn.
Is bursting,-the motherland!
I am one billionth of you, the sum of your 9.6 million square meters.
You feed it with scarred breasts.
Lost me, considerate me, boiling me.
Then take it from my flesh and blood
Your richness, your glory, your freedom.
-Motherland, my dear motherland.
