I walk towards life with a smile
Wang Guozhen
I walk towards life with a smile,
No matter what life throws back at me.
Repay me with flatness?
I am a happy flowing river.
Repay me with ruggedness?
I am a mountain of solemn thinking.
Repay me with happiness?
I am a swallow flying in the sky.
Repay me with misfortune?
I am a strong bamboo that can withstand thousands of blows.
Life cannot be without laughter.
A world without laughter would be so lonely.
Nothing can change my love for life,
I walk towards the fiery life with a smile!
