Description

Trust me, this have nothing to do with the results from my last deviation -> [link]

China's votes are still at 2 and Hong's are still at 1. Korea has no votes yet.

China tries to take up a time to meet Japan in private, and that's midnight, when everyone is asleep. Japan looks like she just got out from bed, which she did.

This is my first time inking using a ball point pen... So...

The lyrics are from the Chinese song '龙的传人' (Traditional: 龍的傳人), which is translated as 'Heirs of the Dragon' by 侯德健, Hou Dejian.

Here's the song: [link]

Lyrics:

Simplified Chinese

遥远的东方有一条江 
它的名字就叫长江
遥远的东方有一条河 
它的名字就叫黄河

虽不曾看见长江美 
梦里常神游长江水
虽不曾听见黄河壮 
澎湃汹涌在梦里

古老的东方有一条龙 
她的名字就叫中国
古老的东方有一群人 
他们全都是龙的传人

巨龙脚底下我成长 
长成以后是龙的传人
黑眼睛黑头发黄皮肤 
永永远远是龙的传人

百年前宁静的一个夜 
巨变前夕的深夜里
枪炮声敲碎了宁静夜 
四面楚歌是姑息的剑

多少年炮声仍隆隆 
多少年又是多少年
巨龙巨龙你擦亮眼 
永永远远的擦亮眼

Traditional Chinese

遙遠的東方有一條江 
它的名字就叫長江
遙遠的東方有一條河 
它的名字就叫黃河

雖不曾看見長江美 
夢裡常神遊長江水
雖不曾聽見黃河壯 
澎湃洶湧在夢裡

古老的東方有一條龍 
她的名字就叫中國
古老的東方有一群人 
他們全都是龍的傳人

巨龍腳底下我成長 
長成以後是龍的傳人
黑眼睛黑頭髮黃皮膚 
永永遠遠是龍的傳人

百年前寧靜的一個夜 
巨變前夕的深夜裡
槍砲聲敲碎了寧靜夜 
四面楚歌是姑息的劍

多少年砲聲仍隆隆 
多少年又是多少年
巨龍巨龍你擦亮眼 
永永遠遠的擦亮眼

English Translations (This is a rough translation by me)

There is a river in the far east,
it's name is Yangtze.
There is a river in the far east,
it's name is Yellow River.

Although I've never seen the beauty of Yangtze,
I've dreamed of travelling in the waters of Yangtze.
Although I've never heard of Yellow River's strength,
the surging strong waters rush in my dreams.

There's a dragon in the ancient east,
her name is China.
There's a group of people in the ancient east,
they're all heirs of the dragon.

I grew up under the claw of the dragon,
and grew to become an heir of the dragon.
Black eyes, black hair and yellow skin,
forever an heir of the dragon.

A hundred years ago on a quiet night,
big changes happened deep that night.
Sounds of bombs and gunfire destroyed the quietness of the night,
everywhere was a chaos of swords.

How many years did the gunshots continue?
How many years? Oh, how many years?
Dragon, dragon, please open your eyes,
Open your shining eyes forever...

What a sad song... Especially the last part... :iconcryforeverplz:

I didn't finish putting all the lyrics in the drawing because there weren't enough space... :iconlazepoolplz:
