Sunshine, sunshine（with an additional poem）——Memory about returning to Yan'an, in my flight above Yan'an…
The sky was covered with gold…
The earth was also acting so
The silver aircraft wings were emitting golden light
The aircraft cabin was flooded by golden sunshine
Actually, this was not the Loess Plateau
This was a warehouse to store sunbeam
No wonder it produced golden millet
It looked like golden sand, like sunlight of the warmth
No wonder it produced golden soybeans
It looked like a pearl shining sweetness
No wonder the land had a golden cheer
There were mineral resource with sunlight here
Don't forget that here we have been doing something
Working is to plough the sunshine of history
Don't forget that we have been here harvesting
Harvest is to pick up the dedication from sunbeam
No wonder our skin is yellow
We take roots deeply in the Loess Plateau
Where does the sun come to the plateau to shine
Look, the sun comes from the sky
Look, the sun comes from the tableland
Yes, sunshine comes from hearts
Don't forget our primitive goal
We set sail again and again
Everyone in Yan'an is carrying a sun as a hope
The transparent verses
When thinking of you, I pick up a pen
Plateau, then you use fingertips
To itch my heart
How many warmth verses
Do you pick up
How sweet it is
Due to the plateau
Every word becomes smart
Every sentence draws a wisp of fog
With rich smell of grass
Is it writing a poem
No, it's morning
I get up from the warm Kang mat
And lean on the window frame
And look up the plateau
Ha ha, a bright poem
—writing about the plateau
It's like writing letters on the glass of the window
With finger
The shining letters are full of dew
Writing a poem? Not
From the bright letters in the glass window
I see an aunt sieving the sun with a big dustpan
On the hillside
