Everyone has two slaves, and everyone is a princess and a prince

Suppose

If time could be rewound to before May 12, 2008, Singapore, the love of dandelions, the root says: This departure, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. The leaf asks: Is this departure filled with sorrow? Suppose,

If my father were still here

If my mother were still here

If my wife were still here

If my son were still here

If I were still like before

In the evening, our family would sit together at the dining table

Watching TV

Eating the food cooked by my mother

How happy I would have been

But

I didn't feel happiness when I had it

Now that everything is gone, I yearn for the past

If my legs were still strong

And I could go to work as usual

Even if my competitor got promoted

And I was criticized by my boss

I would still smile happily

Unfortunately

I didn't smile when I should have

And I couldn't cry when I should have

If there wasn't care from society

If there wasn't support from all directions

If there weren't so many strangers coming to rescue

If the government hadn't stepped in

If I lived in an old era

If I encountered disasters like the Yellow River bursting its banks or the Huayuankou incident

How could I laugh?

How could I survive in this world?

If there weren't these disasters

If I were still healthy

Every day I would walk briskly

Just to make money

Every day I would be busy

All for fame and fortune

Would I ever miss the dinner table at home in the evening?

And the joy on my family's faces?

If there weren't these disasters

My heart would be filled with thoughts of myself

How could I remember to be grateful to those unfamiliar faces?

If there weren't any disasters

Dear family, dear compatriots

In the past, I only knew to be cautious and guarded against unfamiliar faces

How did I know you were my benefactors?

You were my saviors

Our lips and flesh are connected

If there weren't any disasters

How could I not realize I have a great homeland?

I have kind compatriots

I have treasures more precious than money

I have properties more meaningful than selfish interests

In the past

I had everything

But I never felt warmth

Now

My family is broken

My limbs are incomplete

But my heart has become tender

The calluses have been peeled away
