Along the Songhua River: A story of unbeaten spirit

07:56

Every Chinese person knows this song — a lament for lost homes and a cry of defiance. Named after the Songhua River, the mother river of China's northeastern provinces, it tells the story of the darkest years of the Northeast under Japanese occupation, as well as the Chinese people's fiercest resistance. Born from Japan's 1931 invasion, it arose from blood and tears but ignited a nation's will and strength to fight.
