MARCH FROM TINGCHOW TO CHANGSHA

--to the tune of Tieh Lien Hua

July 1930

In June Heaven's armies chastise the corrupt and evil,

Seeking to bind roc and whale with a league-long cord.

Red glows the far side of the Kan,

Thanks to our wing under Huang Kung-lueh.

A million workers and peasants rise up,

Sweeping Kiangsi straight towards Hunan and Hupeh.

To the Internationale's stirring strains

A wild whirlwind swoops from the sky.
