In an ancient oriental country, there is a river called the Yangtze River. It flows endlessly, roaring down from the top of the snow-capped mountains, shaping the civilization of this land along the way. Its flow is sometimes gentle and sometimes violent, but in any case, it always shows its strength and vitality in the form of rolling waves. Beside it, generation after generation of Chinese people live and multiply, creating a brilliant civilization under its nourishment. The rolling waves of the Yangtze River also symbolize the endless and continuous spirit of the Chinese nation.
