九龙河是我家乡的河。她源于子午岭,西入马莲河。她没有黄河那般威雄,没有漓江那般秀美;可她是那样的古老悠长,那样的质朴奔放。我自小在她的身旁长大,她清楚地记得,在那艰难困苦的年代,我是怎样踏上革命征途的。 Kowloon River is my home river. She originates from the Ziwu Ridge and west into the Malian River. She did not like the mighty Yellow River, there is no beautiful Lijiang; but she is so ancient and long, so simple and unrestrained. As a child I grew up beside her, and she clearly remembered how I embarked on the journey of revolution in that difficult and difficult time.
