Ninety years ago today, on February 2, 1935 (December 29, 1934 lunar calendar), "March of the Volunteers" was born. "March of the Volunteers" was born in February 1935. Comrade Tian Han, one of the leaders of the Communist Party in Shanghai's cultural circle, had not yet completed the screenplay "Children of the Wind and Cloud" when he was suddenly arrested by the enemy. Tian Han was in prison, looking at the iron bars of the cell, the horrors of Japanese invaders trampling on my country and the heroic struggle of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers flashed in his mind from time to time, and anger burned in his heart. In this way, the fire-like verse of "March of the Volunteers" began to rush in his mind, but where to write it? On hands? On clothes? Neither could it be written down, nor could it be passed on, nor could it be handed over to the party organization. Just as he was in a hurry, he suddenly picked up a cigarette case in a corner of the cell. In this way, the lyrics of "March of the Volunteers" were written on the palm-sized cigarette paper, and then passed to Comrade Xia Yan, the head of the party organization, through pairs of faithful and reliable hands. When Nie Er learned the news of Tian Han's arrest, he quickly found Xia Yan, who replaced Tian Han in his job, and said excitedly, "I heard that Mr. Tian Han's" Children of the Wind and Cloud "has a theme song" March of the Volunteers ", please give it to me to compose, okay?" Without waiting for Xia Yan to answer, he said firmly, "Please leave it to me, I think Mr. Tian will be satisfied!" "Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall... ". This is the voice of the nation, the call of the motherland. Nie Er read the lyrics carefully, the rage in his chest surged, the majestic and passionate melody came from the bottom of his heart, and a string of music notes poured from his pen to the paper." March of the Volunteers "was created like this. Stills from the movie" Children of the Wind and Cloud "
