Old city of Shanghai Ying Wa College, Li, Chun Yin – 15 Treaty, conquerors, slaves, Opium gives a bitter taste Of history Light tanks, war planes, huge blasts The Japanese have come, You said the future never goes too dim. With hope you fought, and they are gone. Red Flag, revolution and red horror You prepared for the worst tomorrow Because you know your future will be destroyed by the great leader Mao. But as hope you stand And you walked through like a man Skyscrapers, financial towers and massive factories, Those histories all comes and goes. You still hold a role In the long road.
