"National Song"
Of the motherland,
You have gone through an extraordinary 55 years,
As long a baby has become the prime of life,
Today, you are full of vitality, and the distribution of vigor and
You have all kinds of hardships, there were laughter.
After a rough and rugged, tomorrow will be better.
In the past 55 years,
You earthshaking changes have taken place,
Your growing prosperity of the people.
Your strength is growing stronger and stronger.
With the combination of the Chinese people the world is your heart ah!
You won the respect of the world's attention.
Now you are our emotions and work hard,
Entering the new century,
Today, in celebrating this festival,
From the heart, I say to you,
Mother, hello!

《祖国颂》朗诵稿
在世界的东方有一首歌朗诵稿，有一个古老的国度，美丽而宽广，
在世界的东方，有一个伟大的民族，勤劳而坚强；
奔腾不息的黄河是她的血脉，
巍峨屹立的泰山是她的脊梁，
这就是我们的祖国——中国！
1949年，一位伟人挥动着巨臂，一声宣告，驱散了神州五千年的阴霾；
1978年，一位巨人以超人的胆识，审时度势，将尘封的国门向世界洞开！
1997年，她迎来了紫荆花的清香，
1999年，她又增添了水莲花的芬芳！
走过世纪的风雨，万里长城像巨龙在云中穿梭，
跨过岁月的长河，珠穆朗玛峰像雄鹰傲立世界最高坡。
我们的共和国从没有像今天这样威武强大，
