《祖国》英译版：
Homeland
——Dedicated to the front-line officers and soldiers
Tr. Firefly
QI REN
Since I was small
I always dream to be a soldier
Each day I exercise
Shooting
All the love and hatred in my life
All the life and death in my life
Like Cupid’s arrow
Whose darts are carved with love
The target is, HOMELAND.
At every moment of my life
Time by time
Arrows go forth
If I were old
With limp limbs
Kneeling or lying
My body, is still toward your direction
Going
Oh my homeland
When I fall down
Like the arrows gone forth
The bow, stays still,
Forever
Awaiting order
On the morning of May 22th, 2008
