During the early Qing Dynasty, Fushun involved in depression for near one and a half centuries. It was in 1783 that the Fushun new city was completed southwestwards the old City. The city was occupied by Russia until 1905 and by Japan until 1945. With the Japanese victory over Imperial Russia and signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, the South Manchuria branch (from Changchun to Lüshun) of the China Far East Railway was transferred to Japanese control. South Manchuria Railway Company quickly expanded the system inherited from Russia to staggering proportions, one of their actions were developing coal mines at Fushun. Under the control of Japanese, Fushun area became a highly industrialized area via 30-years development.
I see her face in my dreams – like a star shining
all across the sea
I remember this moment – years ago there was only
you and me
When I wake up in sadness – I realize my deep
wounds never heal
Living only in memories – all is lost, coldness I
can feel
Sky turned darker and darker – soulless voices
whispering her name
End came closer and closer – endless sleep was
sweeping in her veins
She faded away – like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words – please don´t cry for
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
Together we will be when will I ever be free
One night I was dreaming seemed to me like reality, so
clear
A fallen angel inside me speaks to me, tells me what
has to be done
There´s a fire in my heart burning bright like the
glory of a king
For too long I was waiting now my soul is flowing in
the wind
She faded away like a rose on a winterday
I remember her last words please don´t cry for me
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
Together we will be when will I ever be free
Lost in endless night take me there, where I see you
again
Reach out for the light when will I break my pain
Come and fly with me all across the raging sea
