Creation background

In a few days, seven or eight comrades wrote the melody of an athlete's March. After some comments, everyone agrees that the theme written by amateur composer Wu Guangrui is better, but it needs further processing. Alliance leaders decided to send professional creators Jia Shuang and Wu Guangrui to accomplish this glorious task together.

In order to write the Athletes' March, Wu Guangrui talked with athletes many times, watched their sports competitions, read relevant sports materials and listened to some famous marches at home and abroad repeatedly.
