Thinking of My Beijing Friends On July 7
We missed the Lugou Bridge moon of the morning
Seeing only the engraved emperor's brush writing
This site where China and Japan exchanged fire
How many times have we visited there?
Rain falls and makes me playful to play with the rain
The day comes and reminds me to remember it again
How I wish to pay another visit to the hallowed ground
And there, my current city forgotten, I will not turn around.
1978,7,7
July the 7th is the anniversary of the conflict between China and Japan in 1937, which marked the beginning of Resisting-Japanese War
