Anecdotes of the National Anthem in Sijiazi Town

A large number of materials obtained from Jinzhou Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers Research Association show that the core creative materials of March of the Volunteers created by Tian Han and Nie Er were taken from Sijiazi Town, Aohan Banner, Chifeng City. March of the Volunteers was composed on 1935, originally the theme song of the movie "The Son of the Storm". This film is based on the surging anti-Japanese volunteers along the Great Wall. According to various records, it was the Jehol Anti-Japanese War that broke out in 1933 that made Nie Er experience the anti-Japanese bonfire, learned about the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and obtained important creative materials from March of the Volunteers. Du Chongyuan, a famous anti-Japanese patriot, Li Chunhua, former deputy head of the Second Corps of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers, Wang Huayi, former military minister of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association in Beiping, and Liu, former mortar company commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers' cavalry brigade, and many other righteous men who participated in the war of resistance in Jehol all told in their own articles or memories how Nie Er and others came to Sizi Town of Jehol and were moved by the songs of the Volunteers. Zhang Huichong, a famous director, also filmed the documentary "History of Blood and Tears in Jehol" on this trip, which recreated the real scene of 1933 in Sijiazi Town. Through their narrative, we can know what happened that year. 1933 One day in February, it snowed heavily. Military Minister Wang Huayi, Political Minister Du Zhongyuan of Beiping Northeast People's Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Association led musicians Nie Er, famous film director Zhang Huichong and more than 40 people to Zhuluke Town, Jianping County with guns, ammunition, clothes, condolences and photographic equipment. Prepare to express condolences to the anti-Japanese soldiers and conduct a military parade in Juruk. Who knows that after Zhu Luke, the situation changed suddenly. The head of the volunteer army stationed here fell ill, and the deputy head resigned angrily. Helpless, the next day, the vehicle can only continue to drive to Sijiazi Town, where there is a cavalry regiment of the Second Corps of Volunteers. Liu's son, Liu, described the situation in detail according to his father's memories: the military parade went smoothly, and after the review, Liu directed the volunteers waiting to receive the materials to sing. Nie Er people came to the front of the team with sympathy bags. Nie Er asked in Yunnan dialect, "I don't understand the lyrics you sang in Northeast dialect. What song are you singing? " Liu Ye got it wrong: "We are not singing a fool's song, but a volunteer's oath song". He took out a leaflet of "Volunteer Oath Song" from his pocket and handed it to Nie Er: Get up! Get up! People who don't want to be conquered! ..... build the Great Wall with our bodies. Go! Forward! Forward! Give your life and go forward! Go! Forward! Keep moving. Kill! Kill! Kill! Many researchers have written that the Pledge Song of the Volunteers, which was obtained during the military parade of four Jehol families, is the embryonic form of March of the Volunteers and has become an important core material for Tian Han and Nie Er to create March of the Volunteers.
