"Fragile"

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime’s argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

There is popular saying in China "Do Not visit Sichuan when you are young" the idea being that once u visit the province u will never want to leave.
another popular saying in China " shi zai zhong guo . wei zai sichuan - china is the place for food but sichuan is the place for flavour. The name sichuan (4 rivers) refers to four of the more than 80 mighty rivers spilling across the province, weaving they way down through the soaring mountains of the northwest and across the chuanxi plain in the east. sichuan’s mountainous terrain,fast rivers and the foreboding tibetan plateau have kept it relatively isolated until the present era and one prompted the tang dynasty poet, Li bai, to liken the journey to sichuan as being more difficult than the road to heaven.

Cheng Du , The city of 4 million people is the capital of Sichuan province in southwest part of China. Which is famous for its Giant Panda and spicy cuisine.

They are different name , Lifestyle , belief , complexion but ALL of Them Belong to This City Cheng Du.
