Mid-Autumn, 2012,Tianjin

Never seen the beautiful scenery of the Fragrant Hill maples,
Never witnessed the construction of the Bohai Bay Pearl Harbour,

Opportunity
Rare indeed,
Long separated for 45 years,
Today we happily get together.

I can not control my hot tears welling from my eyes,
I can not tell whether I am delighted or excited.

Time
That records the graceful memory of partings,
A concentration of smooth and adversity, love and hatred,
A crystallization of struggles and successes.

The autumn wind ripples the blue Xinkai Lake,
The cheerful sail in my heart is covered with rainbows.

Life
That records the orbit of career,
How many springs, summers, autumns and winters spent,
How many exquisite fantasies realized. Prize the chanced luck granted by the Creater,
Accept the great kindness given by the classmates,
Go through the baptism of towering breakers and waves,
Learn to master the skill of promise longevity.

Fervently I hope,
Youth stays with you always,
Let’s enjoy a reunion in 10 years.

重 逢
