The "March of the Volunteers" (義勇軍進行曲) is the national anthem of the People's Republic of China.
Its lyrics were composed as a dramatic poem by the poet and playwright, the Japan-educated Tian Han in 1934 and set to music by Nie Er from Yunnan Province the next year for the film Children of Troubled Times. It was adopted as the PRC's provisional anthem in 1949 in place of the "Three Principles of the People" of the Republic of China and the Communist "Internationale". When Tian Han was imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, the march was briefly and unofficially replaced by "The East Is Red", then played without words, then played with altered words. Restored to its original version, the "March of the Volunteers" was raised to official status in 1982, and included in the Chinese Constitution's Article 136 in 2004 (Article 141 in 2018).
FRANÇAIS: La Marche des Volontaires (義勇軍進行曲) est l'hymne national de la République populaire de Chine.
Elle est composée en 1934 par Nie Er sur des paroles de Tian Han. Elle devient l'hymne national chinois en 1949. Pendant la Révolution culturelle, Tian Han est emprisonné et décède en prison, le chant L'Orient est rouge, célébrant le culte de la personnalité associé à Mao Zedong, devient de facto l'hymne national. Puis en 1982, La Marche des Volontaires redevient l'hymne national.
