"March of the volunteers" is a song composed by Tian Han and Nie Er. It is the theme song of the film "children of the wind and cloud". It is known as the clarion call for the liberation of the Chinese nation. Since its birth in 1935 at the juncture of national crisis, it has played a great role in stimulating the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people and later became the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China.
On September 27, 1949, the first plenary session of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference adopted a resolution to replace the national anthem with the march of the volunteers composed by Tian Han and Nie Er before the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China was formally formulated.
From February 26 to March 5, 1978, the first session of the Fifth National People's Congress was held in Beijing. The meeting decided that the song of the National Anthem should still use the original song composed by Nie Er, and the lyrics should be filled in by the collective.
From November 26 to December 10, 1982, the fifth session of the Fifth National People's Congress was held in Beijing. The meeting adopted the resolution on the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China, decided to restore the original words of the national anthem and revoke the decision on the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China adopted by the first session of the National People's Congress on March 5, 1978.
On March 14, 2004, the second session of the Tenth National People's Congress adopted the amendment to the constitution of the people's Republic of China, which officially incorporated the march of the volunteers into the constitution as the national anthem.
The march of the volunteers, composed by Tian Han and Nie Er, is known as the horn of China's national liberation. Since it was born at the critical moment of national crisis in 1935, it has been widely spread among the people and has played a great role in stimulating the patriotic spirit of the Chinese people. In 1949, the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference decided to take this song as the national anthem, which reflects the Chinese people's revolutionary tradition and the thought of being vigilant in times of peace.
Get up! People who don't want to be slaves!
Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time,
Everyone was forced to make a final roar.
Get up! Get up! Get up!
We are united,
Braving the enemy's gunfire, move forward!
Braving the enemy's gunfire, move forward!
forward! forward! Get in!
