The Mighty Chinese City – Old City Of Shanghai
Ying Wa Primary School, Chan, Matthew - 11
We’ve bonded the city with culture
As we lived in this traditional core with pleasure
Generations by generations lived here for days and nights
Let’s grab hold of the place and unite
Boundaries surrounded were mighty and tall
The moat which circled around was the greatest of all
Don’t worry, we were not trapped
Iron defense from Japanese pirates as we rapped
Years and years our district still strong
All of the citizen still get along
Look at our gorgeous Yuyuan Garden
Our City God Temple was of course not forbidden
The city was surely overwhelming
All of us are very outstanding
The unity of us will never die
And that’s our mighty city – The Old City Of Shanghai
