An excerpt from the song

"Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" is a Chinese patriotic song in the People's Republic of China, which originated in 1943 in response to the phrase, "Without the Kuomintang there would be no China".[1]

Background[]

During World War II when China was fighting the Japanese invasion, Chiang Kai-shek published a book titled  [zh] on 10 March 1943, with a slogan that "Without the Kuomintang there would be no China." The Communist Party of China published an editorial entitled "Without the Communist Party there would be no China" in the Jiefang Daily on 25 August 1943 to criticize the book, concluding that "If today's China had no Communist Party of China, there would be no new China." In October 1943,  [zh], a 19-year-old member of the Communist Party of China, created the lyrics for "Without the Communist Party There Would Be No New China", based on this.[2]

In 1950, shortly after the foundation of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong changed the title to "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China," by adding the word "new."

The song is included in the 1965 musical The East is Red.

On 26 June 2006, a memorial in honour of the song "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" was opened in Fangshan District, Beijing, with an area of 6000 m2 (65,000 sq ft).[3]

没有共产党就没有新中国
没有共产党就没有新中国
共产党辛劳为民族
共产党他一心救中国
他指给了人民解放的道路
他领导中国走向光明
他坚持了抗战八年多
他改善了人民生活
他建设了敌后根据地
他实行了民主好处多
没有共产党就没有新中国
没有共产党就没有新中国

沒有共產黨就沒有新中國
沒有共產黨就沒有新中國
共產黨辛勞為民族

他改善了人民生活
他建設了敵後根據地
他實行了民主好處多
沒有共產黨就沒有新中國
沒有共產黨就沒有新中國

Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China.
Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China.
The Communist Party toiled for the nation.
The Communist Party wholeheartedly saved China.
It pointed to the road of liberation for the people.
It led China towards the light.
It supported the War of Resistance for more than eight years.
It has improved people's lives.
It built a base behind enemy lines.
It practiced democracy, bringing many advantages.
Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China.
Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China.
