Reconciliation
(The Meeting of Xi and Ma)
Separated for 66 years
both sides of the brothers
finally gathered together
They held hands firmly and lingeringly
Dined and wined with intimacy and laughters
They had long opposed
with guns and swords
fiercely fought each other
severely broken their heads and hearts
bruised and bloodied their bodies with anger
One party won the war
They moved to the old capital
in the country’s north part
set up a new regime
continued to build up their power
One party failed the war
They retreated to an island
across a wide straight
inherited the old name
continued to propagate and educate
Although the pass-away of old generation
had not put out all of their anger
The new generation however
won’t oppose each others
They tried to communicate first
with navigation and traders
gradually reached a common consensus
they belong to the same nation and ancestors
We were originally a family
Bones were broken but attached with tendons
We kept the same bloodlines and genes
How can we keep an inimical not an intimate relation
For the welfare of our compatriots
and for the future of our children
the tragedy of the past must not be repeated
We must walk on the revival road in cooperation
The weather of Singapore was sunny
Atmosphere of Shangrila Hotel was festival
Media of the whole world gathered for the event
People of both Chinese and foreigners applauded fervently
They all recognized this was a milestone of great measure
and acclaimed the magnanimity of two-side leaders
They all celebrated this eventual reunion of brothers
and wished them good luck of being together
