Apparently this poem is going around the internet in the wake of the last major train accident:
中国，请等一等你的灵魂
——有感于7.23温州动车追撞悲剧
童大焕
Wait, China, Wait for Your Soul: Moved by the July 23 Wenzhou Train Collision
"Tong Dahuan"
| 中国，请停下你飞奔的脚步， | China, please stop your flying footsteps, |
| 等一等你的人民， | Wait for your people, |
| 等一等你的灵魂， | Wait for your soul, |
| 等一等你的道德， | Wait for your morals, |
| 等一等你的良知！ | Wait for your conscience! |
| 不要让列车脱轨， | Don't let the trains derail, |
| 不要让桥梁坍塌， | Don't let the bridges fall, |
| 不要让道路成陷阱， | Don't let the roads turn into pits, |
| 不要让家国变成危楼…… | Don't let the country become a condemned and decrepit tower... |
| 慢点走， | Slow down some, |
| 让每一个人都不被“时代”抛下， | None must be tossed out by "the times," |
| 让每一个人都顺利平安抵达终点， | All must reach their own ends in peace, |
| 让每一个生命都有自由和尊严！ | The lives of all must have freedom and respect! |
 |
| "Attention: Dangerous Building (wei lou)" -- illustrating a very interesting term |
