March of the Volunteers (義勇軍進行曲) was written by Tian Han in 1934 for a play. The song, with minor alteration, became the theme song of the 1935 patriotic film "Sons and Daughters", a story about an intellectual who leaves to fight in the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was one of many songs that were promoted secretly as part of the anti-Japanese resistance. March of the Volunteers later became the National Anthem of the Peoples' Republic of China.


Thanks David Jastrzebski for the nice postcard of Figueres ;-) Interestingly, the card was sent on 8 Sept with 8.9.10 clearly indicated on the postmark!
Figueres (Spanish: Figueras) is the capital of the comarca (district) of Alt Empordà, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
The town is the birthplace of artist Salvador Dalí, and houses the Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, a large museum designed by Dalí himself which attracts many visitors.
