纵做鬼,也幸福 (zòng zuòguǐ, yě xìngfú): even the destruction is a blessing

Wang’s poem against a backdrop body bags.

Line from a poem published in the Qilu Evening News on June 6, 2008 by Wang Zhaoshan, vice chairman of the Shandong Writer’s Association, to “honor” those injured and killed in the Sichuan earthquake the month before:

A Personal Account From the Wasteland

In the midst of the wasteland, a survivor thinks about all that has transpired since the earthquake, gradually coming to this feeling of gratitude—

Spared from dying in the disaster, what complaint can I harbor?

The President beckons, the Premier calls.

The Party dearly loves the country; its voice enters the wasteland.

1.3 billion people weep together.

Even the destruction is a blessing.

Military cars arrive like silver eagles.

On the left, the military are our uncles.

On the right, the police are our aunts.

I just hope that before seeing the grave I can see a screen.

Watching the Olympics, I will call out with joy.


江城子 废墟下的自述

一位废墟中的地震遇难者,冥冥之中感知了地震之后地面上发生的一切,遂发出如是感慨——

天灾难避死何诉,

主席唤,总理呼,

党疼国爱,声声入废墟。

十三亿人共一哭,

纵做鬼,也幸福。

银鹰战车救雏犊,

左军叔,右警姑,

民族大爱,亲历死也足。

只盼坟前有屏幕,

看奥运,同欢呼。[Source]
