"The Veteran" (Chinese: 老兵; Wade–Giles: lao³ping¹; lit. 'old soldier') is a military song of Taiwaniese people of the military (Republic of China) that was announced in 1951.

The song was also used as the OST for the Taiwanese film Forever Friends.

Lyrics

Original in Taiwanese Mandarin^[1]
飄揚的旗幟，嘹亮的號角戰鬪的行列是他快樂的家一心一意熱愛著國家更把生命獻給了他道不完南征北討的往事數不盡一身光榮的瘡疤哪怕白了少念頭報國的心意就像一朵不凋零的鮮花！
English translation
The waving flags, the loud horns, and the parade of horses are his happy home. He loves his country wholeheartedly and devotes his life to country. He can tell endless stories of past conquests in the north and south. He has countless glorious scars on his body, even if they are white, he only thought of serving the country at a young age. My heart is like a flower that never withers!
