Lyrics:
We are a string of pearls cupped from the East China Sea,
The Ryukyus is my group of brothers, and I am Taiwan.
My chest is still dense with Zheng's heroic soul,
Jingzhong's red blood stains my family's heritage.
Mother, the scorching summer sun is going to kill me,
Give me a call to arms, I can still carry the city to battle.
Mother, I want to come back, mother

The Song of the Seven Sons-Taiwan was composed by Wen Yiduo in 1925 in the United States, and after being composed by the musician Yuan Zhongyi of the China Music Copyright Association, it has been vigorously promoted by Xinhua, People's Daily Online, CCTV Network, and other numerous media.
After the song was written, Yuan Zhongyi specially chose Xie Hua, a young singer-songwriter from mainland China, to sing the song. Yuan Zhongyi believes that Xie Hua is the most suitable person to sing the song, no matter it is from the overall grasp of the tune, the expression of the connotation of the song or the difficult requirements of the voice and singing skills.
In 2006, Yuan Zhongyi, a member of the China Music Copyright Association, vice-chairman of the Yichang City Musicians Association in Hubei, and chairman of the Yidu City Music Association, heard the poem recitation "Song of the Seven Sons-Taiwan" for the first time on stage at the large-scale cultural and artistic gala commemorating the 60th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan, and was overwhelmed by the urge to create a song like never before.
"Song of the Seven Sons - Taiwan" was first sung by local singers in Yidu. on September 12, Ding Yongzhe, chairman of Hong Kong Yongzhe Star Entertainment and Media Company Limited, contacted Yuan Zhongyi and expressed his willingness to recommend the renowned Taiwanese singer Luo Dayou to interpret the song so that it could be better sung for the world.
