"I Love This Land"

Author Ai Qing? Dynasty Modern

If I were a bird,

I should also use Hoarse throat singing:

This land battered by storms,

This river that is always raging with our sorrow and anger,

This endless blowing The angry wind that blew,

And the extremely gentle dawn from the forest...

——Then I died,

Even the feathers rotting in the ground.

Why do I always have tears in my eyes?

Because I love this land deeply...
