不禁讚歎。

何不乘清風，
且遊霄漢哪？

  When the Red Lilies Bloomed*

   

   

  When the red lilies bloomed

  with vivid spirit and color,

  Chairman Mao rose and led us

  to seize the state power.

   

  The kingdom was easy to build

  but the king was not easy to be.

  Worshiped in the temple of mass

  was a tyrant of the worst degree.

   

  He persecuted all his subjects:

  peoples and officials as well;

  caused such a chaos and suffer:

  a shame of the whole world.

   

  Fortunately there came a man,

  his name was Deng Xioping.

  He opened up and reformed,

  in ordered for a rebuilding.

   

  Then successively there came

  the man named Jiang Zemin.

  He actually rebuilt the country

  and saved his poor citizens.

   

• Succeedingly the nation

  was managed by Hu Jintao.

  His plans were quite grand.

  His achievement was tall.

   

• Presently the nation is led

  by Chairman Xi Jinping.

  Enhancing virtue and power,

  he earns more acclaiming.                                                            135

   

  Now we are richer and stronger,

  can promote moral, help others,

  thus we won many praise words,

  coming from the whole world!   

   

  Now when the red lilies bloom

  with vivid spirit and color.

  The scenes of our homeland

  are finally, really better.

   

   

  Some of our leaders are praised,

  some are blamed.

  The history of our new nation,

  so is written briefly.   

   

  No matter you are officials or people,

  never be selfish or self-centered.

  All your words and behaviors

  can be clearly remembered.

   

  Leaving a good name,

  you will be lauded for hundreds generations.

  Leaving a bad name,

  hundreds generations, all will be heartbroken.

   

   

  The red lilies always bloom

  with vivid color and jubilation, 

  prosperous or not prosperous, 

  year after year, season by season.

   

  As a poet I admire and sigh,

  Suddenly,  throw away my pen.           

  Why not ride with the wind

  to have a vacation in the heaven!?

   

  Ah—Ha Ha Ha Ha!

  Ah? Haaa!
