English Lyrics
Arise! Ye who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall!
The Chinese people face their greatest peril.
From each one the urgent call for action comes forth.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Us millions with but one heart,
Braving the enemy’s fire, march on!
Braving the enemy’s fire, march on!
March on! March on, on!

What is theme / Sign of the Chinese / Lunar New Year 2023?
Theme of Chinese New Year: Year of the Rabbit (Themes of reunion and hope)
Sign of the China
Year of Water Rabbit, starting from January 22, 2023 (Chinese New Year) and lasting to Feb. 9, 2024. It ranks fourth in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac signs. The rabbit is a tame creature representing hope and life for a long time. It is tender and lovely. The moon goddess Chang’e in the Chinese legend has a rabbit as her pet, which stimulates the thought that only this creature is amiable enough to match her noble beauty. Another way of saying is that the Rabbit is the incarnation of the moon goddess per se and it is always a symbol of pureness and auspiciousness.
