Song of the Rising Star

——Anthem of Jiangnan Vocational College of Film & Television Arts

Lyrics by Lu Guozhong

Music by Wang Jianyuan

I am a little boat, moored by Taihu’s shining shore,

Clear ripples hum my tune, green willows brush my core.

Slender bamboo sways my dreams, spring breeze calls my fate afar,

We steer toward our dreamed-of shore, and launch toward every star.

I am a blooming flower, nurtured by Taihu’s lakeside glow,

Gardeners pour their care, earth bestows my growth to grow.

Friends cheer aloud with joy, brooks sing soft and clear and low,

We embrace all mortal dreams, and blossom as we grow.

I am a brand-new star, o'er Taihu’s fair shores arising,

Time and space pave my path, the universe grants me wide skies.

Morning sun gilds my way, our motherland calls with pride,

We spread our soaring wings, and fly where the wind guides.

I am a brand-new-new star, o'er Taihu’s fair shores arising,

I am a brand-new star, through heaven and earth soaring,

Time and space pave my path, the universe grants me wide skies,

A thousand stars now gleam, ten thousand rays arise,

Jiangnan Film and Television Arts College’s pride we bear,

To forge a glorious future, beyond compare!
