Tu Ya
MOTHER CHEN

1962
in her mother’s womb
she stayed seven months
and came among the people,
weight only two pounds 16 ounces.
Mother asks army doctor,
will it live?
Brain development normal,
extremities sound,
says the doctor.
Mother sighs with relief,
oh, as long as it can serve the people,
that’s fine.

Tu Ya
MUTTER CHEN

1962
sie war sieben Monate
in der Gebärmutter
und kam unter die Menschen,
nur ein Kilo fünfundvierzig.
Mutter fragt Militärarzt
kann es überleben?
Gehirnausbildung normal,
Extremitäten richtig entwickelt,
antwortet der Arzt.
Mutter atmet auf.
Oh, solange es dem Volke dienen kann,
bin ich froh.
