She flows in my blood,
a love
older than memory,
a river
moving eastward—
through misted mountains,
across rice fields,
beneath old ginkgo trees.
I have travelled far.
Yet in the silence
of a moonlit night,
I hear her again—
pure,
sincere,
noble.
I am her daughter,
and a mother
to daughters,
and their daughters’
daughters.
She flows on,
a river
moving eastward,
without end.
遙遠的大河
她
在我的血脈裡流著,
是一份
比記憶更悠遠的愛。
像一條
向東奔流的大河,
穿過迷濛的山林,
越過金黃的稻田,
流經古老的銀杏樹下。
我走遠了。
月夜人靜時,
我又聽見了她
淳厚,
率真,
莊嚴。
我是她的女兒,
也是母親。
滋養女兒,
也滋養
女兒的女兒。
像一條向東奔流的大河,
流著,流著,
生生不息。
