Man of Determination English Translation:

Vigorous when facing the beatings of ten thousands heavy waves

Ardent just like the rays of the red sun

Having courage like forge iron and bones as hard as refined steel

Having lofty aspirations and excellent foresight

I worked extremely hard, aspiring to be a strong and courageous man

In order to become a hero, One should strive to become stronger everyday

An ardent man shines brighter than the sun

Allowing the sky and sea to amass energy for me

To split heaven and part the earth (To create a new world) , to fight for my aspirations

Watching the stature and grandure of jade coloured waves

at the same time watching the vastness  jade coloured sky,  let our noble spirit soar

I am a man and I must strive to strengthen myself.

Walking in firm steps and standing upright let us all aspire to be a pillar of the society, and to be a hero

Using our hundredfold warmth, to bring forth a thousandfold of brilliance

Be a hero

Being ardent and with strong courage

Shine brighter than the sun
