1. March of the Volunteers is the Chinese National Anthem written by Tian Han and with a slight with alteration became the theme song of the film Sons and Daughters in a Time of Storm.

Father Gaspar, former principal of mattancheery high in kochi once told me that when the commies first came to power in kerela, they wanted him to change the school prayer from the Lords prayer to the March of the Volunteers and they had pictures of Tian han and chairman mao all over the school.
