See the glory of the present, remember the eventful years,
Cast a red star with a red heart.
You are the sword of your country and the foundation of your home.
Thank you for watching over me,
With the journey of blood, for a lifetime of clear sky.
August 1 is the Founding Day of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. It originated from the Nanchang Uprising led by the Chinese Communists during the democratic revolution in China.
The Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927, started the first shot of the Communist Party of China’s armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, marking China entered a new era of armed revolution under the independent leadership of the Communist Party of China, marking the birth of China’s new type of people’s army.
Since its founding, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has gone through numerous difficulties and dangers. It has grown from a small and weak force to a multi-service force. It is forging ahead on the road of elite troops with Chinese characteristics and is becoming a Great Wall of steel for China to safeguard peace and development.

A cavity of pride, singing the era of carols
A loyalty, praise the grandeur of the motherland
Like the bright morning sun
On the 95th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army
Salute to the “Great Wall of Steel” Chinese soldiers!
