They were bothHe was a national heroes.

Did you forget to mention another person in the sentences before this? You've only mentioned Xie Jinyuan so "They were both national heroes" is confusing because the reader has only read about one person so far.

oOverseas compatriots are also proud of them.

This doesn't sound very natural to me because we don't use the phrase "overseas compatriots". If you can explain in more detail what you mean by this phrase maybe I can help. I would remove the sentence because the term "national hero" applies to Chinese not living in China as well, therefore it is redundant.

Good job! Keep at it!

I don’t know how to say 海外同胞 in English.

海外同胞 is overseas compatriots in English, so technically what you wrote is correct. 👍

Swollen works, but we often say puffy when talking about the eyes.
