海外游子吟

alas, what a nation

once stricken by impoverishment

overcome by failings

ridden by sufferings

and trampled by turbulence

ah, what a country

today filled by riches

marked with successes

possessed by happiness

and promised with prosperity

such nation is the chinese all the greater

of which i, albeit abroad, am a lucky and proud member

this country is china but not any other
