The origin of lyrics
As a reserve artillery unit in Chinese people's Volunteer Army, the First Artillery Division of China People's Liberation Army was ordered to enter the DPRK for the first time, and Ma Fuyong was one of them. On the eve of the army's entry into the DPRK, pre-war training and ideological and political mobilization were carried out.
Everyone is clearly aware of the evil purpose of the United States to invade China by occupying North Korea as a springboard and to strangle the newborn people of China in the cradle. The soldiers were all angry, and they expressed their sincere desire to "stop aggression and defend peace" and "resist US aggression and aid Korea and defend the country".
At night, Ma, as a political instructor, crouched under the dim kerosene lamp and recorded the heartfelt vows of the soldiers, "Swim across the Yalu River with indomitable spirit ...". The next day, at the swearing-in meeting of the regiment and division, Ma Fuyong took this passage as an oath and wrote it on the blackboard. Since then, this poem has been widely circulated among the volunteers. At that time, there was a cultural teacher in the company who knew simple music, composing music for it and teaching singing in the All-China Federation.
