Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Song - Definition and Overview |
|
|
The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Song (蔣公紀念歌) was written to commemorate the late President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China. The song was written by Huang Yu-ti (黃友棣) in 1975, who later also wrote Chiang Ching-kuo Memorial Song in 1988. With the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, this song has fallen into disuse. The song was formerly popular for school choir competitions as students were required to memorize it.
Lyrics (Chinese)
- 總統 蔣公, 您是人類的救星, 您是世界的偉人
- 總統 蔣公, 您是民主的燈塔, 您是自由的長城
- 內除軍閥, 外抗強鄰, 爲正義而反共, 圖民族之復興!
- 蔣公, 蔣公, 您不朽的精神, 永遠領導我們
- 反共必勝, 建國必成, 反共必勝, 建國必成!
