The national anthem of China, March of the Volunteers, played as a full orchestral recording. Used in videos, presentations and patriotic edits.

This is a full orchestral and choral performance of March of the Volunteers, the national anthem of China. It opens with a bold brass fanfare and a rising call to stand up, then builds with drums, strings and a massed choir singing in Mandarin with a firm, march-like tempo. The mood is formal, resolute and stirring rather than playful, giving any scene an instant sense of ceremony, national pride and historical weight. Listeners recognize it immediately from official events, sports ceremonies and state broadcasts.

March of the Volunteers was written in 1934, with lyrics by Tian Han and music by Nie Er, for the 1935 film Children of Troubled Times. Its call for resistance made it widely sung during the war years, and in 1949 it was adopted as the provisional national anthem of the People's Republic of China, later confirmed as the official anthem. Today the recording is shared online for educational projects, ceremonies, sports coverage and edits that need an unmistakable musical symbol of China.

Pro Tip for Usage
