How to love you?

My motherland!

How to love you?

My China!

How to love?

Give me a hug?

No, it's not enough!

Kiss you!

One kiss! Just one kiss!

No, it's not enough!

My motherland!

Centuries,

You drag your weary body across the desolate earth!

Now you are a world-renowned beauty,

Flourishing with vibrant life!

Ancient, clear riverbanks

Spring has dyed the earth green

The abandoned ships stranded on the mudflats

Are sailing away with their horns blasting in the deep blue sea!

You raise the giant stones to rebuild the sky

You spread your boundless love across the planet!

How to love you?

My China!

You nourish me with sweet milk

I am your passion, your sunshine!

I am your hope of generations!

My China!

I am your boundless glory

I am the smile on your face

I am your endless sorrow!

Hello, my country

Indissoluble

I come from the place where snow lotuses bloom

I come from the sound of boatmen's oars on the banks of the Lancang River

I come from the South China Sea Islands

I come from the Moon…

Rushing through time!

My country, my country!

I am your grains, plump and heavy

I am the high-speed trains zipping like spiderwebs

I am your blood, freely flowing!

What can I give you?

What can I give you?

What can I give to express my respect?

My longing!

My country in the wind and rain

My China, longing!

I love you! So much!

It cannot be expressed, my country!

Burn me into a grain of soil

Scatter me on the earth!

Melt me into a drop of water

Flow into the rivers!

Let me be a small weed
