March of the Volunteers
The March of the Voluteers is the natonal anthem of the People's Republic of China (Hanyu Pinyin: Yiyongjun Jingxingqu). It was first used as the national anthem of the People's Republic of China in June of 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 song was by Nie Er, in 1935. The same song was used as the theme song to a Chinese film. Today, this song is the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, Macau, and Hong Kong.
