The Chinese national anthem is called "March of the Volunteers." It was written in the mid 1930s, with lyrics by the poet and playwright Tian Han, and music by Nie Er. The song featured in the popular 1935 movie "Children of Troubled Times" and has been the official anthem of the PRC since its founding in 1949.
