"梅花進行曲" | March of Plum Blossom [ Chinese Kuomintang Song]

Details

Description

The plum blossom was adopted as the National Flower of the Republic of China on July 21, 1964. The song likens the resilience of the Chinese people to that of the plum blossom, a message that was especially salient during the political conditions of the 1960s. The blossom is a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity, has three stamens symbolizing Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People, and five petals, which represent the five branches of the government
