In the east of the world, there is an ancient country, beautiful and vast.
In the east of the world, there is a great nation, hardworking and strong;
The rushing Yellow River is her blood,
The towering Mount Tai is her backbone,
This is our motherland-China!
1949, a great man waved his giant arm and announced with one voice that the haze of China for five thousand years had been dispelled;
1978, a giant, with superhuman courage, sized up the situation and opened the dusty door to the world!
1997, she ushered in the fragrance of bauhinia.
1999, she added the scent of water lily!
Through the storm of the century, the Great Wall of Wan Li flies through the clouds like a dragon.
Across the long river of years, Mount Everest stands proudly on the highest slope in the world like an eagle.
Our country has never been so powerful as it is today.
Motherland,
You have gone through an extraordinary 55 years,
Like a baby growing into the prime of life,
Today, you are full of vigor and vitality.
You have suffered and laughed.
After rough times, tomorrow will be better.
For 55 years,
You've changed a lot,
Your people are getting richer and richer.
Your national strength is getting stronger and stronger.
You have United the hearts of Chinese people all over the world!
You have won the respect of the world.
Since you are in high spirits,
Entering the new century,
Today, in this festive festival,
I tell you from the bottom of my heart,
Hello, motherland!
