"Echo"
Author: Jin Bo
How wonderful this green valley is, with so many red flowers, green grass, and mountains full of Fruit trees,
bear pears, apples and peaches. There is also a little friend here who runs in the valley all day long.
How many times have I wanted to see him, but I can’t find him because of the deep mountains and dense forests. But when I sing folk songs,
he sings along with me; when I whistle, he whistles too.
He also loves to imitate the chirping of the birds, the bleating of the lambs, the clattering of the spring water at night, and the crow of the golden rooster in the morning. Children announce the dawn. Now he no longer imitates his grandfather's cries of hunger when he was a child,
the gunshots of war, and the howling of wolves in the middle of the night. He learns from me every day: happy songs and hearty smiles;
The sound of our singing in harmony floats in the valley all day long. If you want to know his name,
just ask Qun Shan: "Can I call you 'Echo'?" He will definitely agree - "Okay!"
