Introduction to the curator

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves, build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall..." The familiar lyrics and majestic melody have inspired every Chinese countless times. Today, there is a special "National Anthem exhibition hall" in Shanghai, which tells the world the indissoluble bond between the national anthem and Shanghai, as well as the little-known stories behind the national anthem.

It is composed of six parts: the preface hall, the National Anthem birth hall, the National Anthem memorial hall, the National Anthem shock hall and the National Anthem hall. The National Anthem Memorial square covers an area of 27000 square meters. It is designed as a large open circular square in the shape of a record, implying that "March of the volunteers" is sung all over China from Shanghai. There is also a theme sculpture in the square: a five-star red flag and an army horn that have been baptized by war and history.

Stepping into the sunken garden style national anthem exhibition hall, the first thing you can see is a huge display wall of National Anthem Lyrics. The majestic national anthem sounds in your ears make you feel the solemnity here immediately. According to curator Shen Xiongfeng, the exhibition hall is divided into two floors, with more than 400 precious cultural relics, documents and historical photos. There are not only historical records of various versions of "March of the volunteers", but also precious relics of national anthem creators Nie Er and Tian Han.

Recently, the digital platform of "online photo gallery" has been launched in the exhibition hall.

Since the first anniversary of its completion and operation in September 2009, the National Anthem exhibition hall has been officially opened to tourists, becoming a platform to show the charm of China's national anthem and another patriotic education base in Shanghai.

Curator Shen said that the construction of an international and high-tech exhibition hall of the national anthem is due to the unique love between Shanghai and the national anthem. "Nine After the "18th" incident, in order to arouse the people's resistance against Japan, the "film group" led by the Communist Party of China established the left-wing film shooting base in Shanghai in the spring of 1934, Diantong film company. Tian Han created the Anti Japanese war film "sons and daughters of the storm". In 1935, Nie Er composed the theme song "March of the volunteers", and Shanghai became the birthplace of the National Anthem of the people's Republic of China . In order to remember this glorious red brand, the first national anthem themed Memorial Plaza and exhibition hall was built here in September last year. No. 151 Jingzhou Road, Yangpu District, where the exhibition hall is located, is also the shooting place of the movie "children of the storm" more than 70 years ago.

It is worth mentioning that "March of the volunteers" has also been sung all over the world by a foreigner, who is the famous American black singer Paul Robertson. In 1940, Liu liangmo, a patriot, was persecuted and exiled to the United States for organizing the Anti Japanese national salvation singing movement in China. After going to the United States, he continued to introduce and promote "March of the volunteers" in support of the domestic anti Japanese movement. When Paul Robertson learned about it, he specially recorded a record called "Chee Lai" (translated as "get up") in order to support China's Anti Japanese War, and sang "get up" in public many times, dedicated to the Chinese people in the battle. Song Qingling also wrote a preface for the album: "I'm glad to learn that Paul Robertson's album covers some of the best songs to Americans. It's the voice of the people of all countries..."
