Now That (Another One)

　　Kang Huaping

Now that having taken steps of your journey,

Don't stop chasing your dreams;

Having chosen the long voyage,

Don't be afraid of unexpected wind and waves;

Since life belongs to the great motherland,

Don't just live for yourself;

Never get out of mother's sight,

Please give her pride and peace;

Since the flowers will fade,

The blooming moment must be warm;

Since happiness is always accompanied by pain,

Then take pain as the road to happiness.

Since the great love boundless, then keep the sacred promise

Cherish the precious opportunities in life;

Since knowing that life is short,

Don't care about boring grudging;

Since there are so many Now that,

It is better to cherish now at ease.

Poetry and Further Away

I have someone to cherish for,

far and far away from home .

I have something to long for

keep it in mind.

I have a dream,

Always think at ease.

I have a faith,

hidden in the bright sky.

The mortal is safe,

How about the king’s expedition far away?
