As a Chine, you sing or hear the national anthem March of the Volunteers (《义勇军进行曲》) many times. You know it was produced by lyricist Tian Han and compor Nie Er. But do you really know its origin and influences?
During this year’s National Day holiday, the animated short documentary The Song of New China (《新中国之歌》) became a hot topic online. It tells the behind-the-scenes stories prior to and after the birth of the anthem and how it spread to the entire world in the last century.
It was a collaboration of Turkmenistan director Kristina Grigoryan and Chine producer Tian Hongmin. Both of them are from Shanghai University. “We were really interested in the birth of March of the Volunteers,” Tian said. “But we were wondering how to give such an in-depth and grand topic a n of novelty.”

The group spent almost three weeks on the project. They devoted themlves to arching through and reading over 100,000 words of written historical records. To gain more uful information, they visited the National Anthem Gallery and many historical sites in Shanghai.
Grigoryan was not so familiar with the development of Chine history in modern times. “So we compiled all materials chronologically (按时间顺序),” Tian said. “I would explain the historical background to Kristina.”
With all the detailed materials, Grigoryan and Tian decided to focus on how the anthem was created and sung worldwide.
“Honestly, as a Chine, I had no idea about the international influence of our anthem,” Tian said. It was originally the main theme song of the movie Children of Troubled Times (《风云儿女》, 1935).

Thanks to patriot Liu Liangmo, the song was shared with the world. Liu went to the Unit
ed States, where he met American singer and political activist Paul Robeson. He then shared the song with Robeson. You can e a clip in the documentary in which Robeson sang March of the Volunteers in Mandarin to call for support against Japane aggression. Later, it was sung in all the battlefields against fascism (法西斯主义) around the world.
“After learning the story, I was overwhelmed by a strong n of patriotic enthusiasm,” Tian said. To promote the story to the public, they ud the creative method of stop motion animation (定格动画). Grigoryan had to take thousands of photos and play back the individual images concutively, giving the illusion of movement.
The process was time-consuming. But Grigoryan thought it was worthwhile. “I want to tell a Chine story in an innovative and funny way and spread it all over the world,” she told Shanghai Media Group.

Michael Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him
simplify the writing process when he was in the middle of writing his debut (首部) book.
He said that the process had become difficult to manage: “In the midst of editing (编辑), I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters,” he told the BBC.
“I had all the documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about being able to keep track of it all. That’s when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different pieces.”
Green went on to create Lynit, a digital platform (平台) to help authors plan and weave (编织) together the many elements that form a story, such as themes, characters, and major events.
