Beautiful memories never to be forgotten in XISU

Established in 1952, XISU has gone through 68 years, seeing a batch of students come and leave.

Like other new graduates,

I have left campus, starting my new life.

Standing at the gate, I cannot help but think of the scene four years ago when I just came to XISU.

I was young, excited for everything going to happen here.

Carrying heavy luggages, yet I moved fast.

My story with XISU started since then.

How time flies!

It has been four years.

Trencher caps were thrown up to the sky.

And I have packed up, ready for leaving.

Four years ago, I met XISU in summer

and now, I wave her goodbye in summer.

 

There are too many beautiful memories in 1460 days.

What will never be forgotten is basketball court on which youngsters run up and down.

What will never be forgotten is white clouds against shining sunlight outside classroom, and the setting sun kindled the sky.

What will never be forgotten is cherry blossoms on camupus and green ivy trailing over walls.

What will never be forgotten is a scene of golden color and campus carpeted with ginkgo leaves.

What will never be forgotten is campus in white and warm winter sun.

What will never be forgotten is lazy, cute cats strolling in campus.

What will never be forgotten is delicate, tasty food in the cantee.

What will never be forgotten is those who studying in the library, day and night.

What will never be forgotten is wonderful moment here, which make who I am today.

 

If graduation is a piece of song, it must be composed by each and every XISUer.

 

Breaking Waves

(XISU Version)

 

when the heather come into bloom

I need to pack up and leave my room

ginkgo leaves float besides dormitory

what unforgetable is heather tree

the Luanshu Avenue

the Wenyuan Road

laughters on the basketball court

are like setting sun in the twilight

they read, loud and clear

run for your life, dreamer

youthful spirit today

bring you a bright tomorrow

catkin of phoenix trees float

cherry blossom drift

patriotic hardworking as us

all have learned, innovative mind

the times shapes XISU

XISU aims for stars

in stars are our dreams

come, sail with us!

to where the dream starts

though time makes no answer

truth seeking is always in their mind

wave yearsterday goodbye

run for future in this summer

 

leave Chang'an Street

learn East and West

bath in glory of XISU

let's hit the road

so long so long

those have a new life on

 

the singing echoing

the dream goes on still

but now we're about to set sail

Chang'an and shimmering Weihe River

rising and falling

over mountain peaks

smile in every story

and prosperity is oue glory

sail with you

set sail tomorrow

time brings growth

growth breeds dreams

dreams change life

life shapes you and me

oceans take in rivers and lakes

rivers and lakes take in streams

streams take in waves

let us be waves

rolling in the ocean

time brings growth

growth breeds dreams

dreams change life

life shapes you and me
