We are all fighters!

Presented by Jessica Liu

This is a war without smoke

And we are all fighters

To the fighters！

We are facing a dark time right now

Some of us are stuck at home

Some are stuck far away from home

Some of us have lost their jobs

Some have to shut down their businesses

Some of us are cutting down expenses

Can can’t even pay their rent and bills

Some can’t go back to school

And some can’t go back to their jobs

And some of us are still working day and night

No matter how exhausted they are

Or how dangerous it is

Some of us have become infected

and they were isolated of their families，

their loved ones

And have to be alone in the wards

Or even worse, it is their children, parents, 

or their loved ones, they are infected

And they don't even have the chance 

to say goodbye

The virus is rampaging

The numbers are increasing

The rumors are spreading.

The fear is growing.

It seems all of a sudden

The whole country lost its vitality and prosperity

You are not the only one who is worrying

You are not the only one who is fearing

You are not the only one who is struggling

.We are all facing a dark time right now

Our country is facing a dark time right now

This is a war

It’s a war without guns, bombs, or smoke

But it’s a war with virus, doubts, fears, rumors, 

and discriminations

But we shall all be the fighters,

 my dear fellows

Not just the doctors, the nurses, the policemen 

and scientists who should fight

All of us should be the fighters in this war

We should fight against fear

We shall fight against uncertainty

We should fight against doubts

we should fight against selfishness

We should fight against rumors

And we should fight against discriminations

This is going to be a fiercs and cruel war

But don't be afraid

We are gonna win this war together in the end

Our people may get sick

Our city may get sick

But we as a brave nation will never, ever get sick

Because we have the spirit, history 

and determination to win.

We’ve been on this planet

 for over five thousand years

We've been witnessed much darker moments.

We've been through many cruel trials

No matter it's the war, invasion, starvation,

 poverty or natural disasters

We’ve always survived

We’ve always stood back up on our feet.

We’ve always won in the end

And we’ll definitely win this time.

We don't know how long it will take

Or what cost we have to pay.

But there's one thing 

we are one hundred percent sure

And that is

We're going to win this war in the end

Because that's what we've been doing

for the past 5000 years

And that’s 

what makes us the greatest nation ever.

It is only by going to the dark times that

We can separate the greatest from the great.

In each dark time

We’ve always fought together

No matter how strong our enemy was

or how impossible it seemed to win

we just kept fighting

because we are all fighters

when all of this is over

We’ll have another great and heroic story

to tell our children or grandchildren

And they will tell the next generations

and that's how we’ll pass the great spirit on

and keep it alive

forever 

这是一场没有硝烟的战争

而我们都是战士

敬所有的的战士

我们现在正面临一个黑暗时刻

我们中有人不得不禁足在家里

有人不得不被迫滞留他乡

我们中的一些人失去了工作

一些人不得不关闭他们的生意

我们中的一些人不得不节衣缩食

有些人甚至已经无力支付房租或账单

有些人无法回到学校

有些人无法回到他们的工作岗位

我们中有人必须日夜坚守

无论他们有多累

亦或面临多大的危险

我们中的一些人已经被感染

他们被隔离在家人和亲人之外

只能一个人待在病房里面对恐惧

更糟的是，被感染的是他们的孩子，父母，或者爱人

他们甚至没有机会说再见

病毒大行肆虐

数字是增加的

谣言正在传播

恐惧正在增长

这似乎是突然的

整个国家失去了活力和繁荣

你不是唯一一个担心的人

你不是唯一一个害怕的人

你不是唯一一个在挣扎的人

我们现在都面临着黑暗时期

我们的国家现在正面临黑暗时期

这是一场战争

这是一场没有枪支、炸弹和烟雾的战争

但这是一场与病毒、怀疑、恐惧、谣言和歧视的战争

但我们都将成为战士，我亲爱的伙伴们

不只是医生、护士、警察和科学家应该战斗

我们所有人都应该成为这场战争的战士

我们应该与恐惧作斗争

我们将与不确定性作斗争

我们应该与怀疑作斗争

我们应该反对自私

我们应该与谣言作斗争

我们应该反对歧视

这将是一场残酷的战争

但是不要害怕

我们最终将一起赢得这场战争

我们的人民可能会生病

我们的城市可能会生病

但我们作为一个勇敢的国家永远不会生病

因为我们有必胜的精神、历史和决心

我们在这个地球上已经有五千多年了

我们目睹了许多黑暗的时刻

我们经历了很多艰难的考验

无论是战争、侵略、饥饿、贫穷还是自然灾害

我们一直幸存下来

我们总是站起来

我们最后总是赢的

这次我们一定会赢

我们不知道需要多长时间

或者我们要付出什么代价

但是有一件事我们是百分之百确定的

那就是

我们最终会赢得这场战争

因为这就是我们一直在做的

在过去的五千年里

这使我们成为有史以来最伟大的国家

只有进入黑暗时代才会有这种感觉

我们可以从伟大中区分最伟大的

在每一个黑暗的时刻

我们总是一起战斗

无论我们的敌人多么强大

或者它看起来是多么不可能获胜

我们一直在战斗

因为我们都是战士

当这一切结束的时候

我们会有另一个伟大的英雄故事

告诉我们的子孙后代

他们会告诉下一代

这就是我们传承伟大精神的方式

让它永远活着
