Where is this？

 

这是哪里呢

 

In my memory,

 

记忆中

 

she is a rainy city,

 

她是一个多雨的城市

 

my second hometown.

 

是我的第二故乡

 

That autumn

 

那个秋天

 

holding the acceptance notification

 

我拿着录取通知书

 

I met her in excitement,

 

兴奋地与这个城市邂逅

 

fascinated in the sweet scented osmanthus fragrance.

 

陶醉在金秋的桂花香气中

 

Roaming in the Guizi Mountain,

 

漫步在桂子山

 

I saw the poetry sky.

 

抬头望见的是诗意的天空

 

 

 

But now

 

但现在

 

In the familiar streets,

 

昔日熟悉的街上

 

there isn’t familiar bustle.

 

没有了往日的热闹

 

Several people wearing masks,

 

零星的带着口罩的人们

 

in a hurry

 

脚步匆匆

 

with eyes full of fear.

 

眼里满是惊恐

 

The shops are closed,

 

商铺关门

 

The traffic is suspended.

 

交通停运

 

She, the whole city

 

这个城市

 

Like a movie on the air

 

像是播放中的电影

 

was paused suddenly.

 

突然被按下了暂停键

 

They say,

she is ill

 

这座城市生病了

 

 

 

I saw—

 

我看见

 

Countless medical workers

 

无数个医护人员

 

bade families farewell on New Year's Eve,

 

在除夕夜告别家庭

 

went off to fight at the front line.

 

匆匆奔赴一线战场

 

Under the thick protective clothing,

 

厚厚的防护服下

 

It's a bunch of kids who haven't grown up yet.

 

是一群还没有长大的孩子啊

 

The hair was cut off, there is no regret.

 

长发被剪掉，不后悔

 

The face was injured, there is no complaint.

 

脸蛋被勒伤，不抱怨

 

Working for eight hours continuously

 

连续工作八个小时

 

they immersed in the fighting and lose all track of time.

 

不吃饭，不喝水

 

 

 

I heard—

 

我听到

 

All the people say with one voice

 

全国各地响起来的

 

“Stay strong, Wuhan! Stay strong, China!”

 

“武汉加油！中国加油！”

 

The medical teams who are hailed as hero s in harm’s way

 

冒雨逆行奔赴武汉的解放军医疗队，

 

the ordinary people who donated face masks,

 

送口罩的普通民众

 

the husband who shouted to his wife, "come back safe and sound"，

 

对妻子大喊“平安回来”的丈夫

 

the mother who have an air hugging with her daughter，

 

隔空拥抱的母女

 

the cleaner who donated all his savings,

 

捐献了一辈子积蓄的环卫工人

 

When asked their name

 

在被问到名字时，

 

They answered with steadiness

 

只是回答道

 

“We are Chinese!”

 

“中国人！”

 

 

 

I’m waiting, the time—

 

我等待

 

when this hero city is boisterous again

 

等这座“英雄的城市”再次热闹喧嚣

 

when the streets are crowded again,

 

等街头再次人头攒动

 

when the hot and dry noodles restaurants are noisy again,

 

等热干面餐馆门口再次排起长队

 

when the campus is full of the sound of reading.

 

等桂子山上再次回响起朗朗读书声

 

when we can take off the face masks.

 

等你我都摘下口罩

 

Winter will eventually pass

 

没有一个冬天不可逾越

 

Spring is sure to come

 

没有一个春天不会到来

 

Wuhan,

 

武汉

 

we are all with you.

 

我们等你
