When the Red Lilies Bloomed

 
          (Revised)

 

 

When the red lilies bloomed

with vivid spirit and color,

Chairman Mao rose and led us

to seize the state power.

 

The kingdom was easy to build

but the king was not easy to be.

Worshiped in the temple of book

was a tyrant of the worst degree.

 

He persecuted all his subjects:

peoples and officials as well;

caused such a chaos and suffers:

a shame to the whole world.

 

Fortunately there came

a man name Deng Xioping.

He opened up and reformed,

performing a rebuilding.

 

Successively there came

the man named Jiang Zemin.

He helped rebuilt the country,

saved his poor citizens.

 

Succedingly the nation

was managed by Hu Jintao.

His plans were quite grand,

His achievement was tall.

 

Presently the nation is led

by Chairman Xi Jinping.

Enhancing virtue and power,

he earns more acclaiming.

 

 

Now we are richer and stronger,

can promote moral help others,

thus we won many praise wordsC

come from the whole world!

 

Now when the red lilies bloom

with vibrant spirit and color.

The scene of our beloved country

are finally, really, much better.

 

 

Some of our leaders are praised,

some are blamed.

The history of our new nation,

so is written briefly.

 

No matter you are officials or people,

never be selfish or self-centered.

All your words and behaviors

can be clearly remembered.

 

Leaving a good name,

you will be lauded for

hundreds of generations.

 

Leaving a bad name,

hundreds generations

all will be heartbroken.

 

 

 

The red lilies always bloom

with vivid color and jubilation.

Prosperous or not prosperous,

year after year season by season.

 

As a poet I admire and sigh,

suddenly I throw away my pen.

Why not ride with the wind

to have a vacation in the heaven!?

 

Ah—Hahahaha!

Ah? Haaa!
