Search: chinese national anthem

Why: At first I thought "Happy Birthday" might be the most instantly recognized song in the world, but then I remembered 1/6th of the citizens of the world are Chinese.

Answer: "March of the Volunteers"! It was written by the noted poet and playwright Tian Han and first performed as part of a 1934 play in Shanghai. The original lyrics are still the official lyrics of the national anthem. In English:

Arise! All who refuse to be slaves!
Let our flesh and blood become our new Great Wall!
As the Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,
All forcefully expend their last cries.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Our million hearts beat as one,
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
March on! March on! On!
