San Min Chu-i ( Chinese  三民主義  /  三民主义 , Pinyin Sānmín Zhǔyì ) is the national anthem of the Republic of China , whose national territory is now limited to Taiwan . The title translated means Three Principles of the People and refers to the national ideology of the Republic of China developed by Sun Yat-sen . The principles are State Socialism / People's Welfare ( Chinese  民生 主義  /  民生 主义 , Pinyin Mínshēng Zhǔyì ), Democracy / People's Law ( Chinese  民權 主義  /  民权 主义 , Pinyin Mínquán Zhǔyì ) and Nationalism / People's Community ( Chinese  民族 主義  /  民族 主义 , Pinyin Mínzú Zhǔyì ). The song stands for the visions and hopes of a new nation and its people. It is also the Kuomintang party song .

The anthem is banned in mainland China, and public performance is strongly discouraged in Hong Kong, although it is not officially banned there. When President Chen Shui-bian took office in Taiwan in 2000 , the well-known singer A-Mei Chang sang the anthem. This led to her being banned from appearing in the People's Republic of China for several months .

History of origin

The text of San Min Chu-i was created by the collaboration of four Kuomintang members: Hu Hanmin ( 胡漢民 ), Dai Jitao ( 戴季陶 ), Liao Zhongkai ( 廖仲愷 ) and Shao Yuanchong ( 邵元 沖 ).

The text was first presented on July 16, 1924, during Sun Yat-sen's opening speech at the opening of the Whampoa Military Academy .

After the success of the northern campaign , the KMT decided to use the text as a party anthem and therefore publicly asked for suggestions for musical accompaniment. The melody of Cheng Mao-yun ( 程 懋 筠 ) won the competition from among 139 participants.

On March 24, 1930, several KMT party members suggested that San Min Chu-i be declared the official national anthem. However, there was a strong opposition that was against a party symbol representing the whole country. Therefore the committee for research and preparation of the national anthem ( 國歌 編製 研究 委員會  /  国歌 编制 研究 委员会 , Guógē Biānzhì Yánjiū Wěiyuánhuì ) was founded. However, this advocated the proposal to use the party song as the national anthem. On June 3, 1937 , the Central Office ( 中央 常務委員會  /  中央 常务委员会 , Zhōngyáng Chángwù Wěiyuánhuì ) confirmed the proposal, and in 1943 San Min Chu-i became the official national anthem of the Republic of China.

San Min Chu-i was voted the world's best national anthem at the 1936 Summer Olympics .

Sānmín Zhǔyì, wú dǎng suǒ zōng,

The three popular principles, the goal of our party.
With that we build the republic, with that we achieve world peace.
Oh, you fighters, be the vanguard for the people.
Tirelessly from morning to night, follow the principles.
Praise zeal, praise courage, be reliable and faithful.
With one heart and one will, hold on to it forever.
