Sun Bathing
I flung Quexiao to the horizon,
I tossed the stars into the clouds.
I perform a daring dive,
making the water sparkle with gold.
The sea is too salty, the stream too shallow,
so I choose this emerald Xiang River to be my companion.
I shed the formal gold and silver attire,
Today, you can look up at me, a goddess of the water.
Fish playfully suck on the golden threads,
the oars deftly strum the strings.
I love to bestow brilliance upon life,
I delight in empowering the rivers and lakes,
and give a satisfied photographer on Tian Shan.
—My bath, my relaxation!
