The poems in "Ballad of the Great Wall" that express deep affection for hometown and motherland include:

When faced with hardship, run to other places. Their flesh and blood are separated, their parents are missing, and they can’t bear to forget hatred and resentment. They just want to return to their hometown day and night.

The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown. Forty million compatriots have the same heart, and the new Great Wall is thousands of miles long.

Original text: The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown. Sorghum is fat, soybeans are fragrant, gold is everywhere, and disasters are few. Ever since the Great Disaster, rape, robbery, and plunder have been a tribulation. In times of suffering, they run to other places, and their parents are separated from their flesh and blood. I can't bear to forget the grudge and hatred. I just want to go back to my hometown day and night. Everyone fought hard to fight back, even if the Japanese pirates showed off their arrogance. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown. Forty million compatriots have one heart, and the new Great Wall is thousands of miles long. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is my hometown. Forty million compatriots have one heart, and the new Great Wall is thousands of miles long.
