The birth of the national anthem

On the eve of the founding of New China, CPPCC held a meeting to discuss the national anthem. Famous painter Xu Beihong and famous architect Liang Sicheng strongly recommend March of the Volunteers as the national anthem. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai immediately expressed their support for their views. However, some people think that the new China is about to be established, and the lyrics of this song "The Chinese nation is at its most dangerous time" are out of date, and they advocate changing the lyrics. Zhou Enlai made a speech to remind everyone to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and not to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Leave this sentence and let our ears ring. 1On September 27th, 949, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution to adopt March of the Volunteers as the national anthem before National Anthem of the People's Republic of China was formally formulated.

March of the volunteers was born in 1935, written by Tian Han; Nie Er, the founder and composer of China New Music Movement. This song was originally the theme song of the movie "The Son of the Storm". The film "The Son of the Storm" describes that after the "September 18th Incident", Japanese imperialism invaded three northeastern provinces in China, and the Chinese nation was at a critical juncture of life and death. Under the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, some intellectuals bravely marched to the anti-Japanese front from depression and hesitation. Tian Han was arrested by reactionaries after he finished writing this movie story. The theme lyrics are written on the tin foil lining paper of cigarettes. Nie Er took the initiative to get the lyrics, completed the first draft of the score before going to Japan, and sent it back soon after arriving in Japan. With the screening of movies and the development of the national salvation movement, songs spread all over the motherland, which is called the horn of Chinese national liberation.

During the Cultural Revolution, because Tian Han was knocked down, the lyrics were not allowed to be sung, and the national anthem could only be played by a band. 1On March 5th, 978, the first meeting of the Fifth National People's Congress adopted the March of Volunteers' New Words. After changing the lyrics of the national anthem, there have been different opinions from all sides, demanding that the original lyrics of the national anthem be restored.
