     I thought I had become westernized
     but now I am becoming repatriated.

2. The material progress of America
     has dazzled me.

3. I wished while there
     to transplant what I saw
     to China.

4. But now that I am home again

     have irreconcilable differences.

5. Yours is a machine civilization;
     ours is a handicraft civilization.

6. Your people
     work in factories;
     our people
     work in shops.

7. Your people
     produce quality things
     that are alike.

8. Our people
     produce quality things
     that are different.
