More about this Special Song


When we were in Junior High, clearly we sang our national anthem more than any other song. Every day we sang it at least once in the morning. Just like when practicing religion, daily pray is necessary! The second most sung song was the one which I mentioned earlier: "fighting communism and resisting Soviet Russia". Besides the link at the end of last blog, you can find the words of this song in another link: http://blip.tv/file/get/Yufulin-827.flv or find it at: http://vivataiwantv.blogspot.com/2007/11/blog-post_8859.html . The words are shown below:

打倒俄寇 反共产,反共产
消灭共产, 杀汉奸,杀汉奸
收复大陆,解救同胞
服从领袖,完成革命
三民主义实行,中华民国复兴
中华复兴,民国万岁
中华民国万万岁

For people who are not used to reading Chinese, I will translate the words here below.


Defeat the Soviet Russian enemy, fight against communism, fight against communism!
Destroy and eliminate Chu and Mao, kill all spies, kill all spies!
Recover the mainland, rescue our people, rescue our people!
Obey our leader, accomplish our revolution, accomplish our revolution!
Practice the Three People's Principles, rebuild our republic, rebuild our republic!
Construct a new China, long live our republic, long live, long live our China, the republic!

It was so matter of fact, so much a part of our routine life, that I am not at all sure that we paid any attention to what the words meant to us l! The only requirement was to sing it as loud as we could, else we would have to repeat it again and again.
