- Military Anthem of the People's Liberation Army
-
Not to be confused with the Military Anthem of the Eighth Route Army.
The Military Anthem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (Chinese: 中国人民解放军军歌; pinyin: Zhōng Guó Rén Mín Jiě Fàng Jūn Jūn Gē), also known as the March of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (simplified Chinese: 中国人民解放军进行曲; traditional Chinese: 中國人民解放軍進行曲; pinyin: Zhōng Guó Rén Mín Jiě Fàng Jìn Xíng Qǔ) , is a patriotic song of the People's Republic of China. The song was written by Gong Mu (公木, real name Zhang Yongnian 张永年) and composed by Zheng Lücheng (郑律成, 정률성).
The song's former name was March of the Eighth Route Army (simplified Chinese: 八路军进行曲; traditional Chinese: zh; pinyin: Bā Lù Jūn Jìn Xíng Qǔ), and was one of the six songs in the Chorus of Eighth Route Army (simplified Chinese: 八路军大合唱; traditional Chinese: 八路軍大合唱; pinyin: Bā Lù Jūn Dà Hé Chàng), all of which had Gong Mu as song writer and Zheng Lücheng as the composer. The song became known as the "March of the Liberation Army" (simplified Chinese: 解放军进行曲; traditional Chinese: 解放軍進行曲; pinyin: Jiě Fàng Jūn Jìn Xíng Qǔ) during the second Chinese Civil War. The lyrics were re-edited by the General Political Department in 1951 and the song renamed to March of the Chinese PLA in 1965.
On July 25, 1988, the Central Military Commission decided to use the song as the official anthem of the People's Liberation Army.

Our troops are facing towards the Sun,
Stepping on the earth of Motherland,
Carrying the nation's hope,
We are an indomitable power!We are the sons and brothers of workers and peasants,
We are the People's armed forces!
Fearless and unyielding, to fight bravely
Until all the gangs of reactionaries are wiped out.
The banner of Mao Zedong flutters high!Listen! The wind is roaring and the bugle is blowing;
Listen! How brassily the revolutionary song resonates!Comrades are striding forward in unison to the battlefields of liberation;
Comrades are striding forward in unison to the frontiers of Motherland.
Forward! Forward!
Our troops are facing towards the Sun;
Marching towards the final victory
And the liberation of entire country!Variant
