Long Yanhe River(with an additional poem)
The root of the water was shaking at the turbulent time
Dark clouds were pressing the mountain
When the sun was rising
Shandandan burst into bloom with stars
Dating, by the Yanhe River
Tracing the love fire of the battles
How did it fill the guns
To end the sunset of a dynasty
Between the battles
There was once birds'twitter and fragrance of flowers by the Yanhe River
You jumped into the Yanhe River
Splashing spindrift, whispering a song
Shandandan was the sister of this highland
You said:Today's youth vine
Also needs yesterday's nutrition
Baota, shining in the heart
When the twilight makes the eaves dark
Baota starts to summon us
It uses a towering torch
To gather stars'curiosity
Wrapping around the red gauze
It declares our victory
I know its light source
I understand its connotation
It grows, looking at earth mounds
It crosses the highland, touching Yanhe River
It pacifies the troops with guns
Driving away the last autumn chill
I grasp a wisp, seaming into my clothes
You grasp a wisp, sewing into your skirt
The future life with its light
Will be enrich and splendid
