About the massive earthquake.
This is a terrible catastrophe. There are so many people died and get hurted. Many people are still buried now. You know, they are all my countryman. This damn earthquake destroyed my hometown and many families. Survivors lost their relatives. Many chilren become orhan and many woman become widow. I saw a view that the parents were hugging their child in the ruins. They saved their child but at the cost of their own life. If you see those many moving views, I think you will cry. Remember their sorrowful faces and remember this painful lesson.However,our Chinese is a united and brave nationality. I belive we can overcome this crisis. Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. All the people in this disaster are looking forward to your help. You know, your blood and money can save their life. Let's present our love to them. Every Chinese,please remember this song"爱的奉献". If everyone present a little love, the world will be a happiness world.

这是心的呼唤
这是爱的奉献
这是人间的春风
幸福之花处处开遍
这是心的呼唤
这是爱的奉献
这是人间的春风
这是生命的源泉
在没有心的沙漠
在没有爱的荒原
死神也望而却步
幸福之花处处开遍
啊
只要人人都献出一点爱
世界将变成美好的人间
啊
啊
啊
Many chilren become orhan and many woman become widow.
Many children have become orphans and many women widows.
.........Good writing-...!!
I should tell you that I live in Illinois, USA and we are raising money to send to assist in the recovery. The company I worked at, Caterpillar Tractor Company, is going to match all funds donated. Our prayers are with you and those affected...
It is a terrible catastrophe. So many people died or injured and many more are still buried. These people are all my countryman. This damn earthquake has destroyed my hometown and many families. Those who survived have lost relatives. Children become orphans and women become widows. I saw a scene on television the parents trapped in the ruins hugging their child - they saved their child at the cost of their own life. If you see such scenes, I think you too will cry like I did. Countrymen, remember the sorrowful faces during this tragic times. However painful our hearts are, remember that Chinese people are brave and united. We will overcome this crisis by every Chinese person sharing in the fate of our country. All the people hurt in this disaster are looking for your help. Your blood and your money can save their lives. Let us present and show our love for our countrymen. Every Chinese comrade, please remember this song"爱的奉献". If everyone were to present a little love, we can overcome this disaster in our nation and once again make it a happy country.
Very touching and moving tribute WJ.

I'm glad you and your family are OK. I agree with Chynna's revision but I would add the following:
...I saw IMAGES of parents who were hugging their child in the ruins.
...However, THE CHINESE is a united and brave PEOPLE.
I think your writing is very direct and sincerely felt and I very much appreciate your sending us this report.
I too will try to help out with financial support as I can and I will pray for the souls who remain to be found and returned to safety.
You write well.
——为汶川地震中死去的学生而作
孩子
快
抓紧妈妈的手
去天堂的路
太黑了
妈妈怕你
碰了头
快
抓紧妈妈的手
让妈妈陪你走
妈妈
怕
天堂的路
太黑
我看不见你的手
自从
倒塌的墙
把阳光夺走
我再也看不见
你柔情的眸
孩子
你走吧
前面的路
再也没有忧愁
没有读不完的课本
和爸爸的拳头
你要记住
我和爸爸的摸样
来生
还要一起走
妈妈
别担忧
天堂的路有些挤
有很多同学朋友
我们说
不哭
哪一个人的妈妈都是我们的妈妈
哪一个孩子都是妈妈的孩子
没有我的日子
你把爱给活的孩子吧
妈妈
你别哭
泪光照亮不了
我们的路
让我们自己
慢慢的走
妈妈
我会记住你和爸爸的模样
记住我们的约定
来生
一起走
爸爸妈妈 别为我们难过
(献给5.12中离去的小天使们)
爸爸妈妈
那是你们吗
我听到了你们的呼唤
从出生时开始就听着
从小宝宝一直听到我上小学
当我现在睡着的时候，
好想让你们来到我的跟前
给我盖上裸露的手臂，
帮我找回我跑丢的小鞋.
爸爸妈妈
我好想你们能亲手为我合上双眼，
让爸爸再亲亲我的脸
让妈妈再摸我的脸颊一遍
爸爸
我身边还有好多的弟弟妹妹哥哥姐姐
你一定要找到他们亲人
带上漂亮的衣服还有漂亮的鞋
妈妈
我们都是好孩子.正在好好的学习.
努力不给你们的脸
可是......
爸爸妈妈，
我和我的同学还有老师
静静地躺在学校昔日的操场前
往日的情景又在出现
我们在这里跳绳在这里踢毽
我们在这里戴上红领巾
在这里向祖国宣言:好好学习 天天向上
好多好多的鲜花
好多好多的嫩脸
可是现在我好冷好冷
爸爸妈妈抱抱我吧
一定要再亲亲我的脸
爸爸妈妈
你们在外打工好远好远
我知道你们好难好难
我没有怪你们
把我托付给叔叔
我没有怪你们
不在我的跟前
因为还有爷爷奶奶要养
你们还要出去挣钱挣好多钱
爸爸妈妈
别为我们难过
我们跟老师在一起
爸爸妈妈
别为我们难过
以后一定要记得建好我们的家园
我们只求爸爸妈妈
还有千千万万个爸爸妈妈
在下一个今天
下一个的今天 为我们把气球放飞一遍
上面写着:
我们乖.
我们来过.
我们是天使.
Poem 1
"Child, hold your Mom's hands quickly"
-- For those children who died in the earthquake of Wenchuan, China
Child
Quick!
Hold your Mom's hand.
The road to paradise
Is too dark.
Mom is afraid
You will hurt your head.
Quick!
Hold your mom's hand.
Take your mom along with you.
Mom,
I am afraid.
The road to Paradise
Is too dark
I can not see your hand
Since
The collapse of the wall
Blocks the sun
I can not see
Your dear eyes.
Child
Let’s go!
The road ahead
Is without sorrows,
Endless homework,
Or the father's fist.
You must remember
Your father and me.
In the next life
We will walk together
Mom
Do not worry
The Paradise Road is crowded.
There are many schoolmates
We said
Don't cry!
Others' mom is my mom.
Others' child is your child.
Without me,
You give your love
To other children who are alive.
Mom
Don't cry
Tears can not illuminate
Our Road
Let me walk slowly
By myself.
Mom
I remember my father and you.
Remember our agreement.
In the next life
We will walk together
Mom and Dad, don't be sad for us
(Dedicated to the Children angels on 5-12-08 )
Mon and Dad
Are you here?
I have heard
The calls from you
From the time
I was born
From a little baby
To a school child
When I am falling asleep
I want you to be with me
Covering my bare arms with sheets
Helping me find my lost small shoes.
Dad and Mom
How I want you
To close my eyes personally,
Let my dad kiss my face.
Let my mom touch my cheek.
Dad
I have many sisters and brothers
Around me.
You should find their parents
To dress them in
Pretty clothes and beautiful shoes
Mom
We are all good kids
Studying hard in schools.
We try to earn the honor for you
But ......
Dad and Mon
My classmates, my teachers and I
Quietly lying on the school playground.
The scenes of the past appear again,
We are skipping, shuttlecock kicking
We are putting on Young Pioneers Scarves,
Under the Declaration:
We study hard
To make progress every day
Many many flowers
Many many young faces
But now I am feeling
Very, very cold.
Dad and Mom.
Please hold me,
Be sure to kiss
My face again.
Dad and Mom
You are working far, far away.
I know it is very hard for you.
I do not blame you
Entrust me to my uncle.
I do not blame you
You are not here with me.
Grandparents raise me,
You have to go outside
to earn money.
Dad and Mom
Don't be sad for us
We are here
Together with teachers
Dad and Mon
Don't be sad for us
Please remember
To rebuild our home
We just have one request for you
And other tens of thousands of parents,
On the first anniversary,
Fly a balloon for us again
The banners read:
We are good kids,.
We have come,
We are now angels.
Although we are not in Sichuan, and do not directly help the disaster areas, we can have a prayer that can help the people in the disaster areas with our blessings, care, warmth, and strength. To the people in the disaster areas, may they recover as soon as possible, restore their stability and rebuild their homes.
We Should All Say A Prayer For China-The EarthQuake In Sichun. China is not alone. The people in the world are praying for the Chinese victims. God bless China!!!!

我借用在此为四川灾民献上我的关怀与祝福 :
生死不离
生死不离,
你的梦落在那里, 想着生活继续.
天空失去美丽, 你却等待明天站起.
无论你在哪里, 我都要找到你.
血脉能创造奇迹, 你的呼喊就刻在我的血液里.
生死不离,
我数着分秒等待你的讯息.
相信生命不息, 我看不到你,
你却牵挂在我心里.
无论你在哪里, 我都要找到你.
血脉能创造奇迹, 搭起双手筑成你回家的路基.
生死不离,
全世界都被沉寂. 痛苦也不哭泣.
爱是你的传奇, 彩虹在风雨后升起.
无论你在哪里, 我都要找到你.
血脉能创造奇迹, 你一丝的希望是我全部的动力.
This is translated by ellaxypan (5 hours ago) in youTube. We hope more people can translate the song in English
" I tried to translate the lyric. Probably not rhyme at all, but i truly hope more people can see we are fighting hard for the life of victims in the earthquake."
1st part:
Death Cannot Separate Us
--to 5.12 China earthquake victims
Death cannot separate us
Where has your dream taken you?
You know life will go on
Although the sky lost its color, tomorrow you will stand up
Wherever you are, I will find you.
Connected by blood, miracle will rise.
Your crying engraved in my heart
ellaxypan (5 hours ago)
translation of lyric (2nd part)
Death cannot separate us
Every second without your words has me waiting
I believe life cannot be defeated
I don't see you, but you are in my heart
Wherever you are, I will find you
Connected by blood, miracle will rise
Hand in hand we build the road bringing you home
ellaxypan (5 hours ago)
translation of the lyric
(3rd part)
Death cannot separate us
The world is silent in grief
Pain cannot make us cry
The love is legend
Rainbow will rise after the storm
Wherever you are, I will find you
Connected by blood, miracle will rise
A glimmer hope of finding you, I will not give it up
《生死不离》

相信生命不息

Never Apart
Live or die we are together
Where your dream are
Life will not end
When the sky is gloom
And you are waiting to stand up again
Wherever you are
I am reaching you
For love makes miracles
Your mourning engraved in my heart
Live or die we are together
Counting second, I'm waiting for you
Life will not end
Though you are not in sight
But you are always in my heart
Wherever you are
I'm reaching you
For love makes miracles
Hand in hand make a path to lead you home
Live or die we are together
Holding on, never cry
For love is a legend
And rainbow arises after the storm
Wherever you are
I'm reaching you
For love makes miracles
Even a thread of hope from you is all that I need

爸爸还有妈妈，回不了家。
有群坏人，来把人吓，
烧了我的学校，砸我的花。
那个喇嘛，叽里呱啦，
长鼻子的洋人，假装眼瞎。
巴黎铁塔，伦敦警察，
抱火炬的姐姐，人见人夸。
汽笛嘟嘟，铁轨哗哗，
去天堂的列车，还没到达。
龙又翻身，大地垮塌，
教室的瓦砾下，埋了童话。
重重的墙，将老师压，
我们在他身下，都很听话。
没过很久，听到喇叭，
外面有个爷爷，叫我别怕。
叔叔的手，使劲地挖，
解放军的飞机，送我回家。
经过灾难，我已长大，
永远不会忘记，二零零八...
温总理说过：
一个很小的问题，乘以13亿，都会变成一个大问题；
一个很大的总量，除以13亿，都会变成一个小数目。
现在我们要说：
一点很小的善心，乘以13亿，都会变成爱的海洋；
一个很大的困难，除以13亿，都会变得微不足道。
大中华不屈的脊梁，一定会更挺拔的。
Be patient when it's raining.
At least it makes us see the difference.
When the rain goes away, the sky will be clear and we will understand how it worth waiting.
"You are good kids,
You have come,
You are now angels."
I like the the poem"Mom and Dad,don't be sad for us" especially the last three sentences.When I read to the end of the poem,I couldn't help shedding tears.
Thanks for Chynna's great job for translation the poems into English versions.
Let's pray for all the lovely children who have perished in this tragedy and their relatives.The prayers also go to all the victims in the disaster.

About the massive earthquake.
This is a terrible catastrophe. So many people died or were injured. Many people are still buried even now. You know, they are all my countrymen. This damn earthquake destroyed my hometown and many families. Survivors lost their relatives. Many children have become orphans and many woman have become widows. I saw a view of parents hugging their child in the ruins. They saved their child but at the cost of their own life. If you see those many moving views, I think you will cry. Remember their sorrowful faces and remember this painful lesson. However,the Chinese people are united and brave and I believe we can overcome this crisis. Every person has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. All the people in this disaster are looking forward to receiving your help. Your donation of blood and money can help to save their lives. Let's present our love to them. Every Chinese person, please remember this song"爱的奉献". If everyone gives a little love, the world will be a happier place.

I know Chinese people are strong and very hard working and they will finally overcome this as they have always been overcoming many hardships.
I would like to say to all the Chinese people "Be strong as you have always been." I hope Chinese people and the Chinese government will find ways to minimize the casualities caused by such disasters in the future.
"Nothing and no can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors. They are the oldest civilized people on earth. Their civilization passes through phases but its basic characteristics remain the same. They yield, they bend to the wind, but they never break."
Though I didn't like this author very much because she wrote a lot against China, but there are some things that I agree with her very strongly and this is one of them.
Be Strong!
In life and death we are not apart.
Where has your dream settled ? Know that life continues !
Though the sky has grown dark you wait to rise again.
No matter where you are, I will find you.
For love is powerful and your cry is engraved on my heart.
.........................
In life and death we are not apart.
I wait for word . Know that you are in my heart !
I cannot see you, but believe that your breath continues.
No matter where you are, I will find you.
For love is powerful, and our hands will become your pathway home.
...........................
In life and death we are not apart.
The world lies silent; our pain does not cry out.
Know that the rainbow rises when the storm ends !
No matter where you are, I will find you.
For love is your legend, and the smallest hope drives me forward.
I have cried with you many times over the last few days. My prayers are with you and all Chinese families who have suffered.
It is the purpose of learning another language to communicate. Your story is perfect. It communicates your thoughts and feelings in a very powerful way.
It was very sad to see so many lives lost, but there were glimmers of hope when seeing those who fight to survive. Our prays and thoughts continue to be with you China.
Nice to meet you. You might not know who am I, but I would like to thank you for translated the poem "Death Cannot Separate Us"
, and this make all the English speakers can share with the beautiful poem.
You did it very well and the translation was wonderful! Thank you so much!
Wish you all the best.
