"Song of Intellectual Youth Joining the Army" comes from the movement of educated youth joining the army launched by the Kuomintang Central Committee in 1944. It is an excellent Anti-Japanese War song that was born during the intellectual youth movement to join the army in 1944. Now the tune of the song has been lost. In 2009, it became widely circulated due to the popularity of "My Commander, My Regiment", which borrowed the melody of the New Fourth Army's military song. The lyrics are as follows:
If you don’t see me, the Han Dynasty will end, and the weak crown will lead the prisoners to grow their tassels!
If you don’t see me, your class will be far away, and the light cavalry from Jueyu will urge you to fight!
A man should be in a dangerous career, how can he let a scholar and a scholar miss his life?
The situation is that the country is in danger. If the eggs are exhausted, the feathers will gallop without stopping!
Abandon my old pen, and keep my war chest,
One call for more than 100,000 comrades, singing war hymns to join the army,
Qi joins the army, cleanses the dust, and vows to wipe out the Japanese slaves without caring about his own life!
Be patient and miss his family, generously express his heart to serve the country,
arrogantly Go to the battlefield with a smile, the flag is fluttering, the sun is dim,
The air blows the white sky into the moon, I pull the long arrow to shoot the wolf,
After a long time of quarrying, I return to Jinling, Jiluji Black times are flat,
The ship with broken waves sails out of the Liaohai Sea, and the iron bird covers the sky and flies towards Tokyo!
The Japanese slave caves were smashed overnight, and the water of the Pacific Ocean turned red,
The Han flag is flying on the top of Mount Fuji, and the drunk concubine is under the cherry blossom tree.
Thousands of people are watching on the road after returning, and flowers are thrown in front of the horse.
The door lintel is shining with white hair, and the village is full of joy. Arrogant beauty,
The history of the country clearly marks the first achievement, China will be known as the great hero from now on,
There is still power left to punish injustice, so that all mankind around the world can share the spirit of the Han Dynasty
< p>Extended information:Important performances of "The Military Song of Intellectual Youth":
"My Commander, My Regiment" Episode 8: The remnants of the expeditionary force led by Long Wenwen fought hard all the way , when they retreated to the Nantianmen border, they were blocked on the Nujiang River due to unknown identity. Major Ayi got a quick wit and directed everyone to sing this song to prove that his side was the real Chinese army.
Due to the passage of time, the original melody of the song has now been lost. In the play, Major Ayi and others sang from "You don't see me" to "Swearing to kill the Japanese slaves regardless of their own safety", using actual words. It is the tune of "Military Song of the New Fourth Army".
Although this scene in the play "Tuan" is majestic, moving and tear-jerking, what the play shows is the retreat of the Chinese Expeditionary Force after its first failure in entering Myanmar. The time is 1942-1943. The "Army Song of Intellectual Youth" came out in 1944. Therefore, allowing the remnants of the expeditionary force who returned to Myanmar for the first time to sing a song from a year later is obviously a flaw in the play's restoration of history. But after all, its faults outweigh its faults. "Army Song of Intellectual Youth" is still a rare and excellent anti-Japanese war song.
