The birth of the national anthem

On the eve of the founding of the new China, the People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held meetings to discuss the national anthem. . The famous painter Xu Beihong and the famous architect Liang Sicheng recommended the March of the Volunteers as the national anthem. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai immediately expressed their support. However, some people thought that the new China was about to be founded and the lyrics of the song, "The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time", were outdated and advocated changing the words. Zhou Enlai took the floor and reminded us all to be vigilant in peace and not to forget danger, leaving these words as a warning bell ringing in our ears.

Nie Er (1912-1935), the first plenary session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), passed a resolution on September 27, 1949, to adopt the "March of the Volunteer Army" as the national anthem before the Chinese People's Republic of China's anthem was formally enacted.

Born of the "March of the Volunteer Army," Nie Er was born. The March of the Volunteer Army was born in 1935, with lyrics by playwright Tian Han and music by Nie Er, the founder of China's new music movement. The song was originally the theme song of the movie Sons and Daughters of the Wind and Cloud. The movie "Sons and Daughters of the Wind and Clouds" depicts that after "September 18th", the Japanese imperialists invaded the three eastern provinces of China, the Chinese nation was in a critical situation of survival, under the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, some intellectuals bravely went to the front line of the resistance against the Japanese from bitterness and uncertainty. Tian Han was arrested by the reactionaries after he finished writing the story of this movie, the theme lyrics of which were written on a tin foil liner for cigarettes. Nie Er took the initiative to take the lyrics and finished the first draft of the song score before he left for Japan, and soon after he arrived in Japan, he sent back the entire song score. The song was shown with the movie, and even more so because of the salvation movement, it spread to every corner of the country, and was known as the clarion call for the liberation of the Chinese nation.

During the Cultural Revolution, the lyrics of the song were not allowed to be sung because of Tian Han's suppression, and the National Anthem could only be played by the orchestra.

On March 5, 1978, the first meeting of the Fifth National People's Congress adopted the new lyrics of "March of the Volunteer Army," a new anthem for the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which is the most popular anthem in China. After the lyrics of the National Anthem were changed, there had been disagreement on this in various quarters, which demanded that the original lyrics of the National Anthem be restored.
