Like duckweed we met in Tianjin by predestined affinity,
Not by chance we became schoolmates.
You stunned us with eloquence on current affairs,
Now enjoying delicacies and wine we recall the past.
Never change our minds in weal and woe and never forget,
Each dơes the best to uphold our just cause and never cease.
When the mission is completed we will go back tilling the field,
We're now fighting to live in great neighborhood on that day.
