In the Yunnan Provincial Museum in Kunming, Yunnan Province, there is a precious cultural relic.
A piano, a song, a classic tune called "The March of the Volunteers".
In 1931, Nie Er used his savings to buy this second-hand violin made in Germany.
After that, it followed Nie Er all the way.
In 1935, Nie Er composed the "March of the Volunteer Army".
Later, the song became the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, and the impassioned melody sang the strongest voice of the era of saving the nation from peril.
In 1954, Nie Er's relatives donated the violin to the Yunnan Provincial Museum, which has been displayed here ever since.
