"They're out! They're out!"
"The young Red Scarves are back, that's wonderful."
Are there wounded? And children?
Cheers mixed with gasps of surprise rose from the Han crowd.
The Miao men quickly grabbed their iron hooks and waited by the riverbank, ready to hook the raft as soon as it arrived.
More than thirty rafts came out one after another.

We weather storms together, we pursue our goals together, and we cherish the same love.
Whether we have met before or not, whether we are right in front of you or deep in the mountains—

For the Han people on the other side of the river, the lyrics, so full of meaning, combined with these scenes, were incredibly heartwarming and selfless.

It is the selfless love of the Miao people!
When one is in trouble, all should offer support!
