Hukou Waterfall

Chen Xiaobing

From Shaanxi to Shanxi, it is separated by a river

To treat drinking wine as a song

Depends on the width and height of the waterfall

From the loess of northern Shaanxi to the huge rocks of the Yellow River

Its rigidity and softness

Depend on the agitation and depth of the waterfall

I come to the north from the south

With a gentler heart than water

To refine bones that are harder than stones

I come to the plateau from plain

My arms stretch into the rainbow that is diffracted in the waterfall

My head rises to the sun

Under the wide sky

At this moment, I feel I have touched

The backbone of a nation

Chen Xiaobing: Male, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
