（section 27) Facing Pearl River mouth basin, these discs of green hills, these bays of green waters, facing this strip of southern fertile land, braving the wind I silently agree, no matter where I have been, where I will be, my thoughts will always hover at this place, the stretch of ground I am treading on at this instant, Aisin Gioro (the Qing dynasty) may be no more, (Queen) Elizabeth (II) may not be able to hold on to this piece of land, just as toward East they  always hover on some isle, toward North on some boundless land.</p>

You will not learn anything by having someone translate this text for you. At lease do some research yourself first.

user suggestion: asking about translation of a single  word (for which an (intentionally) erroneous translation may be proposed) will make question acceptable, answers will be allowed to cover entire text
