\nFreelance writer and blogger Lian Yue<\/a> rewrote the poem, Look Up to the Stars<\/a> by China’s Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. Lian’s poem,<\/a> from Niubo Net, translated by CDT: \nThe infinite truth, \nI look up to the stars, \nThe stern justice, <\/p>\n \nI look up to the stars, \nThe broad mind, \nI look up to the stars, \n==\n<\/p>\n \nThe following is the original poem written by Wen Jiabao with his explanation of the poem’s inspiration, published on People’s net:\n<\/p>\n

\n
I look up to the stars,
\n
So vast and profound;
\n
As abysmal as the road to the mine<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
\n
So hard for me to seek and follow.
\n
I lost my trace like the missing slaves<\/a> in the Shanxi kilns.\n<\/p>\n
\n
So solemn and holy;
\n
As noble as the milk-fed Olympics pigs<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
\n
Fills me with love and respect.
\n
Like facing the flames burning the poverty den<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
\n
So free and peaceful;
\n
Like the judges not moved by the injustice of Nie Shubin<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
\n
Habitat for my soul, arms.
\n
Of course, GFW<\/a> is still indispensable.\n<\/p>\n
\n
So magnificent and brilliant;
\n
The eternal frenzy,
\n
Ignite the flames of hope, sound the thunder of spring.
\n
Oh, oh, oh, as hot as Molten Steel<\/a> dissolving bodies,
\n
As loud as the sound of Phoenix Bridge<\/a> collapsing.\n<\/p>\n
