Standing on your open campus,

Flip the colorful picture.

When I wore pigtails,

It's all around you.

Sniffing your bookish scent?

It stained my childish heart.

Listening to the sound of your book,

It lit the flame of my longing.

I admire,

Thy holy temple;

I desire,

You are a paradise of cultivation.

You are the cradle of knowledge,

I'm like a newborn baby.

Desperately sucking the lotion of knowledge,

It sustains the source of life.

The jade elixir of knowledge,

It makes me mature and plump.

You are the crucible of casting talents,

I am a flame in the furnace.

I put every bit of light and heat,

Fuel your fire without reservation.

Forty years of long years,

With a flick of a finger.

The temples are like frost,

wrinkle overlay,

Youth is exhausted and will not return.

But without a trace of hatred,

There is no resentment at all,

There is only a piece of blue blood pill heart.

Because I know,

From the day you were born in 1956,

He nurtures the seedlings of a land,

Thousands of pillars have been cast.

A mountain and a river of the motherland,

It's all your depictions and dots.

One line and one industry of the four modernizations,

It's all about your blood and sweat.

But thou hast never been proud or ostentatious,

Just silent dedication.

Today

After several ups and downs,

suffered several tribulations,

You are more beautiful and spectacular.

The high-rise buildings are towering and wonderful,

Teachers and students of spiritual civilization are vying to be the first.

Up and down work together to change the sky,

The results are unprecedented.

Teenagers from all directions think about you,

Thousands of families in the town will boast about you.

You are a star in the Milky Way,

Brilliant and dazzling, forever embellished in the blue sky.

I am a point of light in the stars,

It was short-lived and lost in the universe.

Even if the fire of life is extinguished,

I'm still to you-

The affection is deep and the soul is God!
