Description

On a memorial service, I saw this sheet with lyrics of a Chinese song "Beijing Beijing", surrounded by white and red roses. It's a beautiful song, and a beautiful image.

Beijing Beijing

When I walk on each of these streets
My heart never seems to be at peace
Apart from roaring of the engines and the electric sounds,
I seem to hear its candlewick heartbeat

Here I laughed
Here I cried
Here I've lived
and here I'll die
Here I prayed
Here I've felt lost
Here I sought
and here I've lost

Beijing Beijing
Three blocks between the coffee house and the square
Seems like the distance between the neon lights and the moon
In the midst of their struggles, people comfort and hug each other,
searching and chasing, grasping at shattered dreams

Here we laughed
Here we cried
Here we've lived
and here we'll die
Here we prayed
Here we've felt lost
Here we sought
and here we've lost

Beijing Beijing
If one day I have to leave
I hope people will bury me here
Here, I can feel my existence
Here, there are too many things that I long for

Here I laughed
Here I cried
Here I've lived
and here I'll die
Here I prayed
Here I've felt lost
Here I sought
and here I've lost
