Mourning words of Wenchuan earthquake

Like a fallen leaf floating in the wind.

I wrote these words with trembling hands in order to let you rest in peace.

It's like having a dream and not waking up.

Once a beautiful home was burned down like this.

What used to be a smiling face has now become a scale wound all over the body.

I know things will change and the stars will move.

But our love will stay here, this land full of blood.

So, please leave with peace of mind and don't think about it.

We will be your parents and children.

Although we may not know each other, we have the same blood in our bodies.

Your pain has long been engraved in our hearts.

Life has too many misfortunes, but we can't just sigh.

Be strong and tell yourself never to give up.

Stand up from the ruins and heal the wounds in your heart.

This is a painful baptism and a miracle of life.

We don't want to break this final peace by suppressing our inner words.

We hold our sad tears because we are afraid that you will cry.

Dear brothers and sisters, please close your eyes.

A later era/time

We are also sons and daughters of China.
