Taiwanese poet Jiang Xunzhi's "Young China"
We are separated by distant mountains and rivers
to visit the land of the motherland
You use Your footprints
I used my wanderer’s nostalgia
You told me
There is no nostalgia in ancient China
Nostalgia is given People from home
There is no homesickness in young China
Nostalgia is for those who cannot go home
We are separated by distant mountains and rivers
Go visit the land of the motherland
You use your footprints
I use my wanderer’s lament
You said to me
Old There are no elegies in China
Elegies are for people who have no home
Young China does not want elegies
Elegies are for people who have no home
We are separated by distant mountains and rivers
to visit the land of the motherland
You use your footprints
I use the homesickness of my wanderer
You told me
Young China has a new school
Her school is the earth and the mountains and rivers
Young China has a new teacher
Her teachers are the people of the earth
