(English Lyrics / Translation) China heroically stands in Universe, Extends to the Eight Corners, The famous descendant from Kunlun Peak. The rivers turn greatly, the mountains continuous. Shanrang* open up the sky of Yao, For millions of myriads of years. The lyrics were abolished 1916 after death of general Yuan Shikai and replaced by lyrics written by Zhang Zuolin. "China Heroically Stands in the Universe" was national anthem of the Republic of China until 1921.
