Because we are connected by flesh and blood Wen / Yu Guinan

To the fathers and villagers of the Wenchuan earthquake:

Because we are flesh and blood

Author: Yu Guinan

At that moment—

The heavens and the earth changed color, and the ghosts and gods were frightened.

Wenchuan's unprecedented catastrophe!

Jingxiu rivers and mountains, beautiful homes,

Carved into ruins.

Where were you after the disaster?

We were so anxious that tears rained down......

Because we are flesh and blood.

Our hurried footsteps are on the front line of rescue,

Seek you, save you, settle you,

It has become the only belief and theme that we are tired of!

You should see when we find and look at you

Surprise and relief,

Even if you are limb incomplete and breathless,

As long as you breathe,

We will never give up!

Because we are flesh and blood!

can't save and comfort you at zero distance,

is our biggest regret!

Mobilize the forces we can,

Play the heat we can.

Even if we are at the end of the world,

Even if we don't know each other.

We're always on the move,

are all watching you.

Because we all have one China!

Because we are all earthlings!

Because we are flesh and blood!

National Day of Mourning

In just three minutes,

We cry –

For the sudden misfortune, the relatives who left heaven.

Wenchuan is broken by mountains and rivers.

Who said that suffering is a piece*?

It can highlight the soul of the nation!

It sharpens the will and strengthens the fighting spirit!

It is the unyielding power of the strong!

There is no doubt that we choose to be strong!

We work together to fight the disaster.

Victory must be ours!

The beauty of tomorrow will still belong to us!

Because—

We are flesh and blood!
