Original | Chen Gang: We Workers Have Strength – Issued on My Name as a Union Member

A roar erupting from the depths of one's soul

Countless moments replaying in tear-filled eyes

A series of steel notes

Performing an orchestra between heaven and earth

Carrying thunderbolts and carrying raging flames

'Fire God' and 'Lightning God' make a dazzling appearance

Another Chinese speed

Born on China's towering construction sites

Let people from the global village look up

China's starlight

Masks, protective suits, ventilators…

The urgent calls of white warriors

Solidified into a tearful character

Fast, fast, fast

So, a group of people went back

Getting back to work, getting back to work

Overtime, overtime

In the anxious urging of engines

Each cell emits a mighty force

Truck drivers loaded with prayers and hope rushing forward to the front of the anti-epidemic

Delivery guys commented on life's tenacity with sweat and tears

A thousand-mile prosperous city paused its footsteps

'Drip Love' precisely navigates the sunlight's passage

Sanitation workers knocked on the dawn with their hard work

My migrant worker brothers and sisters

With a weak body, they upheld a noble steel

A group of anonymous volunteers

Holding sincere hearts tightly in their hands

A group of grassroots union cadres

Bearing loyalty and warmth on their shoulders

One force

One radiance

Warming my turbulent chest

So, I speak as a union cadre

Singing with all one's might

We workers have strength

This strength is iron, this strength is steel

In a vast chorus

I heard the sound of spring flowers blooming

Such heroism, such tragedy
