      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
