The Good Eighth Company is renowned throughout the land.

Why? Because its will is unshakable.

For the people, it has served for decades.

Resisting corruption, it never takes a bribe.

Thus it is called the Good Eighth Company.

The People’s Liberation Army should take it as a model;
the entire army and people must rely on themselves.
Not afraid of pressure or coercion,
not afraid of swords or halberds,
not afraid of ghosts or demons,
not afraid of emperors or bandits.
These remarkable sons and daughters are like pines and cypresses:
they soar to the heavens, standing proud in frost and snow.
Their discipline is as solid as a fortress;
their military prowess is like thunder.
In politics, they are second to none.
Their thinking is clear and analytical.
Such analysis brings great benefit.
What is that benefit? Unity.
When the army and the people are united as one, who in the world could possibly oppose them?
