The Chiang Ching-kuo Memorial Song (蔣經國紀念歌) was an ode written shortly after Republic of China President Chiang Ching-kuo died in 1988. At 8:00 p.m. on January 20, 1988, the Ministry of National Defense invited composer Xie Junyi to compose the "Chiang Ching-kuo Memorial Song", after which it was handed over to China Television to be arranged by the director of the CTS band, Zhan Senxiong, and it was performed at 10:00 that night.

All o'er the countryside, leave your friendly footprints!
In the hearts of many, shine your light forever!

Mr. Ching-kuo! Mr. Ching-kuo!

For you found joy through sacrifice,
Having struggled for the people’s welfare.
In your sincerity,
Did freedom’s journey advance.

Mr. Ching-kuo! Mr. Ching-kuo!

We will maintain a sense of urgency,
Inherit your great legacy,
Accelerate the Mainland's recovery,
San Min Chu-i to complete the unification of China.
