A Slave May Have a Dream to Be a King
Born in a common family
Have no relatives of aristocrats or government officers
Parents taught me that to earn bread by honest laboring
Don’t dream for richness, fame, or high position
Even a husbandman often has a heroic ideal
A slave may also have a dream to be a king
I’m commanding and maneuvering the troops of seven thousand Chinese【1】
None can stop me running freely in the world with great easy
note【1】:here means the Chinese writing language of seven thousand square characters.

囚奴帝王心
生在寻常百姓家,
达官贵族不沾亲。
父母教儿谋温饱,
莫想荣华与功名。
匹夫常怀英雄志,
囚奴也有帝王心。
捭阖七千文字兵,
纵横乾坤无人境!
