"Word-Building" Chinese Couplet
(Allegedly composed)
-- by Emperor Ganlong and Ji Xiaolan
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
 
Ten men (-- out of ten
From home far apart)
In their field of heart,
Always think of their loved ones:
Their parents, wife and sons!
 
This commoner
Of lowly birth
Wants to say "Thanks!" -- Thanks to                       Heav'n,
Thanks to the Earth,
Thanks to the Ruler!

+ 口 + 心 = 思
  + 身 + 言 =
