When those Japanese hear his name,
they all run away
He is the bravest Taiwanese of all
They can't beat him, they want to make peace with him
No matter what happen, he is the boss
He had ten request
Just like his territories, Japanese can't go
His people can go out with weapon
His people break the law, he manage them by himself
Japanese all said "very good"
Chin Dynasty surrender to Japan

They hid the criminal, blame on them not us
Don't kill my people
l as a governor of Japan,
can't destroy rascals
How can we keep this area in order?
Don't go, you don't have a gun
What are you doing? Give the gun back
Don't kill my innocent people
Give my gun back
You...
You... Why?
l love you too, deeply love you
But l am a Taiwanese
Japanese dare not to come, we won
