Wuxi City
Songwriter: Shan Qi
Singer: Zhang Heng
Wuxi has undergone massive changes since I was young
The old wooden boat in the Grand Canal has sailed away
New boulevards now wind along Taihu Lake
And neon lights illuminate the sky over Huangbu Isle
Gone are the playful times in Duck Alley
As well as my freeloading bus rides
Gravel has reappeared on historic Nanchang Street
And Qingming Bridge still sits near the bustling Nanchang Temple
The park besides Chong'an Temple still beckons tourists
Business remains brisk on Zhongshan Road
Xue Fucheng's former residence and Rong Yiren's Meiyuan Garden have both become famous tourist destinations
I climbed Mount Hui every spring when I was young
But I never managed to reach every peak
An old song reminds me of my childhood while tasting tea brewed with spring water
My former home remains only in my memory
