Golden Giant
\nWritten by Chinese Poet Hongri Yuan
\nTranslated by Yuanbing zhang<\/em>
\n 
\nWho is sitting in the heaven and staring at me?
\nWho is sitting in the golden palace of tomorrow?
\nWho is smilling?
\nThe golden staff in his hand
\n 
\nFlashing the dazzling light
\nAh, the flashes of lightning
\nInterweaved over my head
\nI walked into a crystal corridor of the time
\n 
\nI want to open
\nThe doors of gold
\nLines of words in the sun
\nSinging to me in the sky
\n 
\nI want to find
\nThe volumes of gold poems
\nOn the shores of the new century
\nTo build the city of gold
\n 
\nLaozi with rosy cheek and white hair
\nSmiling at me in the clouds
\nA phoenix danced trippingly
\nAnd carried in a book of gold
\n 
\nLines of mysterious words
\nMade my eyes drunken
\nCountless giant figures
\nCame towards me from the clouds
\n 
\nThe times of seventy million years
\nEmerged leisurely before my eyes
\nThe cities of gold
\nSurrounded with the crystals garden
\n 
\nThe sky of sapphire
\nSent out the colorful miraculous brightness
\nOn the green hills of jasper
\nDragons and phoenixes were flying
\n 
\nExquisite pagoda
\nMajestical palace of gold
\nThe airy pavilions and pagodas
\nStanding in the purple-red clouds
\n 
\nThe laughing girls
\nRiding the colorful husbands and wifes
\nThe propitious clouds
\nSprinkling the colorful flowers
\n 
\nI opened the door to a golden palace
\nSaw the rows of scrolls of the gold
\nA giant with the haloes all over his body
\nThere were a golden sun over his head
\n 
\nWith smiles, he picked up the books of gold
\nRecited the sacred verses
\nI was intoxicated with miraculous wonderful words
\nSurrounded with the purple-gold flames all over his body
\n 
\nA golden lotus
\nBloomed beneath my feet
\nLifted up my body
\nWafted up from the golden palace
\n 
\nThe red clouds
\nDrifting by my side
\nOutside of the sky I saw
\nAnother golden paradise
\n 
\nThe leisurely bells
\nCalling to me
\nThe countless giants
\nRoaming in a golden garden
\n 
\nThe sky of the ruby
\nThe rounds of sun
\nLike the golden lotus
\nBlooming in the sky
\n 
\nThe intoxicating fragrance of flowers
\nLike the sweet good wine
\nThe golden trees
\nWere laden with the dazzling diamonds
\n 
\nThe wonderful flowers
\nBloomed for the housands of years
\nThe land of gold
\nInlaid with the gems
\n 
\nThe pavilions of gold
\nStrewn at random and overlapped
\nSomeone was playing chess
\nSomeone was chatting
\n 
\nQuaint clothes
\nColossal statures
\nMiraculous eyes
\nHappy and comfortable
\n 
\nThe white cranes
\nFlying in the sky
\nThe husbands and wifes
\nCrowing leisurely
\n 
\nBeside the old man I came
\nAs if he was waiting for me
\nOn the golden pavilion
\nHe opened an ancient sword casket
\n 
\nA glittering ancient sword
\nEngraved some abstruse words and expressions
\nWhich were clear and transparent like a lightning
\nDimly glowed purplish-red patterns
\n 
\nHe told me a metaphysical epic
\nThe sword came from nine billions years ago
\nWhich, was made from hundreds of millions of suns
\nIt was a sacred sword of the sun
\n 
\nIt could pierce the rocks of time
\nOpen the layer after layer skies
\nLet the sacred fire smelt the heaven and the earth
\nInto the golden paradises
\n 
\nThe old man’s eyes were deep, archaic and abstruse
\nDimly shone the joyful flames
\nHe let me take this sword
\nTo fly towards a new golden paradise
\n 
\nThe huge golden lotus floated leisurely
\nI flew over the sky thousands of miles away
\nThe huge pyramids
\nLoomed impressively in front of my eyes
\n 
\nThe mountainous figure of giants
\nWalked about in front of the pyramid
\nThe huge pyramids of gold
\nWere much taller than the mountains
\n 
\nThe giant trees of gold
\nLike a forest
\nStood in the sky
\nLaden with the stars
\n 
\nThe multicoloured propitious clouds
\nWas a huge bird
\nIn the silvery sky
\nCrowing joyfully
\n 
\nI came to the front of a pyramid
\nA door was opening wide to me
\nA group of blond giants
\nSitting with smiles in the grand palace
\n 
\nA holy great old man
\nReciting the singular language in his mouth
\nThe temple was painted with the magical symbols
\nAnd the giant pictures of Gods
\n 
\nThe palace was full of silvery white light
\nBlooming th huge wonderful flowers
\nA peal of wonderful mellifluous bells
\nMade the person suddenly forget all of the time
\n 
\nI heard an immemorial verse
\nTt was written hundreds of millions of years ago
\nRelated countless eras of giants
\nCreated the holy kingdoms of heaven
\n 
\nTheir wisdom was sacred and great
\nKnew completely the past and the future of the universe
\nThey flew freely in the sky
\nLanded on the millions of planets in the universe
\n 
\nThey made the time change as your pleasure
\nWhich could reach another spaces
\nMake a stone turn into a gold
\nMake the gold bloom flowers
\n 
\nThey were like the rounds sun
\nWhich could erupt the sacred flames
\nLet all things blaze in raging flames
\nTurn into their imagination works
\n 
\nThey landed on the planets
\nEstablished the golden paradises
\nWith their magic abstruse wisdom
\nBuilted the platinum cities
\n 
\nI saw the gorgeous words
\nFlashing in the volume of gold
\nAnd the magical wonderful halos
\nRotating like the colored lightning in the sky
\n 
\nI came to another wonderful heaven and earth
\nAnd saw a huge edifice of platinum
\nThe whole city was like a piece of work
\nSending out quietly the brilliant white light
\n 
\nA huge round square
\nEnchased some unearthly works
\nThe giants of great stature
\nCame and went leisurely in the street
\n 
\nThey wore singular clothes
\nShone all over their bodies
\nWith smiles on their face
\nBoth men and women looked beautiful
\n 
\nThey spoke the wonderful language
\nWhich was as intriguing and pleasant as the music
\nSome of them run by spaceship
\nFlying around silently in the sky
\n 
\nI walked into a huge edifice of platinum
\nSaw a magnificent hall
\nPlatinum wall was inlaid with gems
\nAnd there were also a row of unusual instruments
\n 
\nTheir eyes were like bright springs
\nWore the multicoloured clothes
\nSome of them were operating struments there
\nSome of them were talking with each other softly there
\n 
\nI saw a magical picture
\nDrew the giant planets
\nStood the cities on those planets
\nAnd there were aslo the crystal gardens
\n 
\nI opened a crystal door
\nSaw a group of happy men and women
\nThey were singing softly
\nThe blinking books of gold were in their hands
\n 
\nBoth the clusters of flower and the glasses of golden wine
\nWere on the huge round table
\nThe golden walls were sparkling
\nCarved with all kinds of wonderful pictures
\n 
\nI saw a demure girl
\nThe golden halo was sparkling on her head
\nShe dressed a purple-gold longuette
\nWhich was as peerless as a sculpture
\n 
\nThe pages were marked with whimsical words
\nLike lines of ancient magic symbols
\nEach book was made of gold
\nAnd it was also like a golden crystal
\n 
\nI understood their euphonious songs
\nThey were singing the sacred love
\nThey were singing great ancestors
\nThey were recounting the civilization of the universe
\n 
\nTheir city was garden everywhere
\nSurrounded with the sweet rivers
\nThe whole earth was a piece of jade
\nAnd the clay was a layer of transparent sand of the gold
\n 
\nI saw some white-bright huge balls
\nSuspended high above the city
\nThe giant balls were sending out dazzling light
\nShone the heaven and the earth as bright as the crystal
\n 
\nThe towering great buildings stood in great numbers
\nAs if they were carved by a whole piece of platinum
\nBoth the doves and some colorful birds
\nWere flying in the sky
\n 
\nI saw a singular train
\nFlying swiftly forward in the sky
\nThe streets were white and bright
\nAnd any moving vehicle could not been seen
\n 
\nTheir bodies were unusually strong
\nPlaying a wonderful game
\nThey piled up the pieces of great stones\u00a0
\nInto some grotesque works
\n 
\nBoth like some giant eyes
\nAnd some ancient totems
\nThere were also some strange birds
\nCovered with lightning feathers all over their bodies
\n 
\nI saw a couple of tall lovers
\nThey aviated a spaceship
\nTheir eyes were quiet and bright
\nShone colorful halo around their bodies
\n 
\nThe wonderful space was gyrating leisurely
\nLike a huge, resplendent crystal
\nI said goodbye to the unusual city
\nTowards a space of golden light
\n 
\nThe cities flashed in the sky
\nI flew over the layers of the sky again
\nAnd I saw a newfangled world
\nThe multicoloured city of crystal
\n 
\nThe high towers were exquisitely carved
\nShone the multicoloured pearls
\nThe layers of eave were painted with dragon and phoenix
\nHung the singing golden bells
\n 
\nThe earth was a crystal garden
\nThe palaces were limpid and crystal
\nHuge mountains were like a transparent gem
\nLined with the golden trees
\n 
\nI saw the tall giants
\nWore the purple clothes
\nThere were a round sun on their heads
\nThe body also shone a layer of halo
\n 
\nThey sat up in the main halls
\nSinging a mellifluous song
\nSome were roaming leisurely in the garden
\nSome were summoning the birds in the sky
\n 
\nThe crystalline airy pavilions and pagodas
\nWere beset with jewels and agates
\nA huge jewel on the spir
\nShining the golden lights
\n 
\nI saw a holy giant
\nSitting in the middle of a main hall
\nThe purple-gold flame were flashed around his body
\nAnd filled with the whole majestic main hall
\n 
\nFull-bodied fragrance filled the hall
\nLike a cup of refreshing wine
\nSolemn expression was merciful and joyful
\nA huge book was on his hand
\n 
\nThe hall was full of mens and womens
\nListening quietly to the psalms of the saints
\nThe lotuses were floating in the sky
\nWhere the smiling giants sat
\n 
\nThe golden light were poured down from the sky
\nBathed in the whole crystal kingdom
\nThose jewels above the giant towers
\nWere just the golden suns
\n 
\nThe golden walls of a golden tower
\nWere carved with lines of flashing words I saw
\nFlying around the dragons and phoenixes
\nAs if they were intonating the inspiring poems
\n 
\nThe smiling giants in the sky
\nA huge halo were aslo flashing around their bodies
\nEach of them was both dignified and tranquil
\nFloating in the golden transparent sky
\n 
\nI flew over the crystal kingdom
\nAnd saw the vast golden mountain in the distance
\nSending out the brilliant lights in the sky
\nWhere the propitious clouds were blossoming
\n 
\nThat was a golden giant
\nSitting in the golden transparent sky
\nHis body was composed of thousands of millions of constellations
\nThe golden sun was rotating on his forehead
\n 
\nHe lit up the whole marvellous universe
\nThe kingdoms of heaven shone in the sky
\nHere there was no the sky and the earth
\nThe up-down four-direction were the lights of pure gold
\n 
\nThe smiling giants were sitting
\nOn the gold-engraved pavilions
\nThe pavilions levitated in the transparent sky
\nShining the layers of purple-gold light
\n 
\nThe multicoloured transparent mountains
\nAs if the propitious clouds were floating in the sky
\nThe large wonderful flowers were blooming in the mountain peaks
\nAnd there were also trees of light
\n 
\nA river flowed from the sky
\nAnd the river bottom reflected a layer of golden sand
\nSome strange and beautiful birds and the beasts
\nAlso were like some aerial phantoms
\n 
\nThis was a world of light
\nEverything was made of light
\nThe divine light formed all things
\nAnd the golden paradises
\n 
\nThe golden giant I saw
\nShining the kingdoms of heaven in his body
\nI saw the cities of gold
\nWhich were brilliant and fascinating in his bones
\n 
\nI saw lines of extremely large words
\nArranged into a huge book in the sky
\nIt seemed as if they were the bright stars
\nConstituted a wonderful drawing
\n 
\nThere was a golden pavilion in the sky
\nFlying around with huge dragons and phoenixes
\nAn old man with the whisk
\nWaved to me and smiled in the pavilion
\n 
\nI seem to be attracted by magical attraction
\nLeisurely came to his side
\nHe told me the golden giant
\nWas namely my great ancestor
\n 
\nThis was an eternal palace
\nThere’s noso-called time
\nHoly light was exactly the God
\nWhat I saw was better than the heaven
\n 
\nHe pointed to the huge book in the sky
\nAnd told me that was the mystery of the universe
\nThe book contained magical wisdom
\nCreated the countless worlds of gold
\n 
\nHe pointed to a pagoda in the sky
\nTold me that was the temple of words
\nThe light turned into the sacred words
\nAnd the words created the time of gold
\n 
\nHe held up a very large pearl
\nIn which flashed the pictures
\nHe told me that it was the future time
\nThat was all of the wonderful worlds
\n 
\nHe told me that it was another universe
\nI still want to go to the paradises
\nHe gave me the magical pearl
\nLet it be my future guide
\n 
\nI said goodbye to the holy old man
\nI set foot on a new road of the heaven again
\nI sat in a golden pavilion
\nLightly flew to the distant outer space
\n
