| Arise, Ye who refuse to be slaves! With our very flesh and blood, Let us build our new Great Wall! The peoples of China are in the most critical time, Everybody must roar his defiance. Arise! Arise! Arise! Millions of hearts with one mind, Brave the enemy's gunfire, March on! Brave the enemy's gunfire, March on! March on! March on! on! |

Qilai! Buyuanzuo nulide renmen! Bawomende xierou, zhucheng women xinde changcheng! Zhonghua minzu daole zuiweixiande shihou, meigeren beipozhe fachu zuihoude housheng. Qilai! Qilai! Qilai! Women wanzhongyixing, maozhe dirende paohuo qianjin! Maozhe dirende paohuo qianjin! Qianjin! Qianjin! Jin! |

| This song was composed by Nieh Erh in 1932, one year after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and was dedicated to the volunteers who rose to defend the nation long before Japan formally declared war on China. In 1934 Nieh Erh went to continue his musical studies in Japan, where he was murdered. He was 24 years old at the time of his death. His song was later adopted as the national anthem of the People's Republic of China. The lyrics are by Tian Han. |
