Welcome to 'Art Amid the Flames,' our series celebrating how Chinese artists, scholars, and institutions kept creativity alive during the War of Resistance against Japanese aggression. Today, we dive into the story behind 'The Broadsword March,' a battle song born from scarce rifles and boundless courage. 🗡️🔥
In a time when defeat seemed certain, a group of Chinese soldiers turned to an ancient weapon—the broadsword—to rally their spirits. With every clash of steel, they found rhythm and resolve, transforming fear into a powerful call to stand their ground. 🎵
