我的中文不好

Yichang sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in China's great style
In the air
There's a feeling
Of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear

Yelled "Hello"s, yelled "Hello"s
It's any time in the city
Hear them shout, belt it out
Soon you will think it's okay

Strings of food stands
Even tofu
Fill the air with their stench
As the shoppers rush
Home with their treasures
Hear the horns beep
See the kids leap
This is China's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear

Yelled "Hello"s, yelled "Hello"s
It's any time in the city
Hear them shout, Belt it out
Soon you will think it's okay


Today was wonderful. I love my friends!

"Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of the Father."
