I am a member of the Huang clan from Xiangcheng.

I threw away my writing brush and pushed forward, journeying to the capital of the U.S.

I brought an oar and arrived in the land of the Golden Mountain.

Who was to know they would banish me to Island?

If my country had contrived to make herself strong, this never would have happened.

Then when the ship had docked, we could have gone directly ashore.
