Unity is strength, and unity is strength.
This force is iron, and this force is steel.
Harder than iron and stronger than steel.
Fire on fascism and let all undemocratic systems die out.
Towards the sun, towards freedom.
Towards the new China, shine brilliantly.
Unity is strength, and unity is strength.
This force is iron, and this force is steel.
Harder than iron and stronger than steel.
Fire on fascism and let all undemocratic systems die out.
Towards the sun, towards freedom.
Towards the new China, shine brilliantly.
Extended data:
Lyrics by Mu Hong, Lu Su's Unity is Strength was born in a small village in Huangni District, Pingshan County, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region on June 6-9, 1943. In order to oppose the Japanese invaders plundering grain in the border areas and implement the crazy policy of "robbing, killing and burning", the Northwest Field Army went deep into the vast rural areas of Pingshan, Hebei Province and Fan Shi, Shanxi Province to participate in the struggle. In order to cooperate with this struggle, Mu Hong and Comrade Lu Su suddenly created a little opera "Unity is Strength" in about three or four days.
Unity is Power is one of the most sung songs in mass singing activities. Lyrics and songs are catchy, energetic and inspiring. This song is actually an opposite play of a small play, and the purpose of creating Unity is Strength is to cooperate with the rent reduction and interest reduction movement at that time.
Creative background:
The songwriter of this song is Lu Su, who studied composition and chorus conductor in Lu Yi Music Department in Yan 'an. At that time, he created works such as plain chorus, production chorus and spring ploughing chorus. The song still sung in different historical periods is his first "Unity is Strength" written in 1943.
Lu Su, the songwriter, talked about the background of this song: "1943 was the most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War, and Chiang Kai-shek passively fought the war. Especially after the Eighth Route Army finished the Hundred Regiments' War, all Japanese puppet troops focused on the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region was originally a place where people in mountainous areas suffered particularly, and the land rent paid to landlords was particularly heavy. At that time, it was proposed to reduce rent and interest.
