岁月不居，唯有争分夺秒、全力以赴；
Time stops for no one- we need to work against time and do our best;
时节如流，定当只争朝夕、砥砺前行。
The seasons keep changing- we need to live each day to its fullest and forge ahead.
既然选择了远方，那便只顾风雨兼程；
Once you choose it, you can only disregard the trials and hardships;
既然选择了拼搏，那便只剩下夜以继日。
Once you choose to fight, the only thing left is to work hard day and night.加油吧！勇敢的方山少年们。
Come on! Students of NFLSFC.

Let’s work as a team and show the courage to persevere,
乘风破浪，披荆斩棘，
Let’s brave the wind and waves and overcome difficulties,
勇攀高峰，圆梦方山！
Let’s leave for future prospects and realize dreams in Fangshan!
