Who wrote the lyrics of the educated youth army song?

Author: Sun Liren

If you don't see me, Han will eventually be an army, and the weak crown will be a long tassel.

If you don't see me, the class will be far away, and you will rush to the clouds!

A man should be dangerous, so why not let the Confucian crown miss this life?

The situation is critical, and the feather fights endlessly!

Abandon my old pen and concentrate on my wartime,

Called100000 comrades, and they joined the army singing battle songs.

Qi joined the army, cleaned up and vowed to sweep away Japanese slaves, regardless of their health.

The background of this song is the movement of educated youth joining the army.

1943 In March, the Legislative Yuan of the National Government promulgated a new military service law, expanding the scope of conscription and narrowing the scope of probation. Young students are encouraged to join the army, and students are required to keep their school status during their service, so that young students, especially college students, have eliminated their concerns about their school status.

1943165438+1On October 23rd, 28 teachers and students from Sichuan Santai National Northeastern University, headed by Zhao, and 100 middle school students asked the county government to join the expeditionary force to kill the enemy.

1943165438+10/5, Xu Siping, chief of staff of Sichuan Military Region, attended the Prime Minister's Memorial Week of Northeastern University and delivered a speech, talking about the reasons why intellectuals were required to join the Indian army, saying that this was the need to "expand the expeditionary force and open up the Yunnan-Myanmar road". There were 15 boys and 4 girls applying to join the army. Xu Siping wrote to Chiang Kai-shek and suggested that the youth military movement should be extended to the whole Kuomintang-controlled area.

1943 65438+In February, the Military Service Bureau of the Ministry of War of the National Government promulgated the Measures for Students' Voluntary Service, which stipulated: "Anyone who wishes to perform military service in a school above secondary school shall be at least 18 years old."

1September, 944, Chiang Kai-shek called for "100,000 educated youths to join the army" and promulgated many special preferential regulations for educated youths to join the army, such as leaving their jobs without pay; Students retain their school status; Family members are given preferential treatment by the families of anti-Japanese soldiers. The government has made a big splash in the society, and newspapers and slogans have intensified their propaganda.

Chiang Kai-shek194410 12 said: "First, ordinary citizens should change their psychology about military service in the past, so as to actively apply for military service and enrich their fighting forces. The second is to make people change their attitude towards the Kuomintang in China, understand the spirit of sacrifice of the Kuomintang in China, accept the leadership of the Kuomintang, and jointly accomplish the revolutionary mission. The latter is more important than the former.

1944101October 2 1 day, Chiang Kai-shek issued a slogan that made young people excited: "One inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops", which at one time formed a craze for young intellectuals to join the army in many places.

Since then, the Youth Expeditionary Force has rushed to the front line and was demobilized in the autumn of 1946. According to Huang Wei, a former deputy director of the comprehensive department of young intellectuals' compilation and training, in the article Memories of the Youth Army, from September 65438 to September 0944, nearly100000 young intellectuals were recruited one after another.
