I am the China-Laos Railway. 

For four years, I have run tirelessly,

day and night—

carrying travelers and cargoes

on their journeys,

and ushering in hope and reunions.

What I carry away is a new chapter in a Laotian boy's life.

His dreams are traversing mountains, 

heading for a broader horizon.

What I carry away is the orchard-fresh sweetness of Laos. 

Letting this natural fragrance

travel from the Mekong's banks to

grace countless Chinese homes.

What I deliver is Laos' hope, supercharged by "China's speed." 

What once took long waits

now arrives as dawn-to-dusk delight.

Towering mountains, winding rivers—

yet our hearts are connected across the distance.

I bear witness to transformed lives,

burgeoning dreams,

and the flourishing friendship

between China and Laos.

This network of steel

is now charting a new vision of

shared prosperity.
