A Great River Flows

Wife is happy, she is watching some YouTube Chinese channel that plays a piano music in the background, and she hums along, and started to sing with lyrics.

I don't know what it is, but the lyrics is intriguing.

一条大河波浪宽 风吹稻花香两岸.

A great river flows, its waves wide. Wind blows the scent of flowers to both shores.

It's about Korean War (1950 to 1953).

A great river flows 2025-11-24
A great river flows 2025-11-24
 一条大河波浪宽
风吹稻花香两岸
我家就在岸上住
听惯了艄公的号子
看惯了船上的白帆

 这是美丽的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片辽阔的土地上
到处都有明媚的风光

 姑娘好像花一样
小伙心胸多宽广
为了开辟新天地
唤醒了沉睡的高山
让那河流改变了模样

 这是英雄的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片古老的土地上
到处都有青春的力量

 好山好水好地方
条条大路都宽畅
朋友来了有好酒
若是那豺狼来了
迎接它的有猎枪

 这是强大的祖国
是我生长的地方
在这片温暖的土地上
到处都有和平的阳光
A great river flows, its waves wide
Wind blows the scent of flowers to both shores
My family lives on the shore
I am used to hearing the punters' call
And seeing the white sails on the boats

This is the beautiful Motherland
This is the place where I grew up
On this expansive stretch of land
Everywhere there is wonderful scenery to behold

How flower-like are the young ladies
How big and brave are the hearts of the young men
In order to usher in a new era
They've woken the sleeping mountains
And changed the shape of the river

This is the heroic Motherland
This is the place where I grew up
On this stretch of ancient land
There is youthful vigor everywhere

Great mountains, great rivers, a great land
Every road is broad and wide
If friends come, there is fine wine
But if the wolves come[3][4]
Those who greet them have hunting guns[3][4]

    Chorus

This is the mighty Motherland
This is the place where I grew up
On this stretch of warm and friendly land
There is peaceful sunshine everywhere
