Seventy-six years ago today, on October 30, 1945 (September 25, 1945 in the lunar calendar), "People's Musician" Xian Xinghai died of illness in Moscow at the age of 40. In honor of him, please see the lyrics of "On the Taihang Mountain"...
The red sun shines all over the East,
The God of Freedom is singing indulgently!
Look!
Thousands of mountains, copper walls and iron walls!
The anti-Japanese beacon,
Burn on the Taihang Mountains!
The arrogance is enormous!
Listen!
The mother told her son to fight to the East,
The wife sends the groom to the battlefield.
We are in the Taihang Mountains,
The mountains are high and dense, and the soldiers are strong and strong!
Where the enemy attacks,
We want it to perish somewhere!
