March of the Volunteers
"March of the Volunteers" (Simplified Chinese: ä¹ååè¿è¡æ²; Traditional Chinese: 義åè»é²è¡æ²; Hanyu Pinyin: YìyÇngjÅ«n JìnxÃngqÇ) is the natonal anthem of the People's Republic of China (including the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau). It was first used as the PRC's national anthem in June 1949 at a conference in Prague. It became the official anthem on September 27, 1949.
The lyrics were from a play by Tian Han. The music was composed by Nie Er in 1935. The same song was used as the theme song to a Chinese film.
