Futian District

Futian District (simplified Chinese: 福田区; traditional Chinese: 福田區; pinyin: Fútián Qū; Jyutping: fuk1tin4 keoi1) is one of six districts comprising the city of Shenzhen, People's Republic of China. The district is home to the government and Municipal Committee of Shenzhen, as well as the central business district of the city.

Name

There are two arguments concerning the origin of the district's name:

  • The first argument contends that the name derives from an inscription dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1297) which reads: "Lakes and mountains are blessed with fertile farmlands" (湖山拥福,田地生辉).
  • The other argument is that written record shows that people from Shangsha Village built houses in Songziling in 1192, and farmlands were cultivated in lattice shapes, which in Chinese is a homophone for "Futian," meaning "blessed fields".

    • History

    Luohu District was established in April 1979, one month after Shenzhen was promoted to city status. Futian, and another area called Fucheng (附城), became communes within the Luohu District.

    Lost

    by: Vision

    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
