"My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast,
There are my compatriots there,
And the aging parents..."
On September 18th,
"On the Songhua River",
Can evoke too much heavy past.
Remember September 18,
Just remember the humiliating history of being bullied,
Sound the historical alarm of being beaten behind.
Remember September 18,
It is a tribute to the national integrity that never surrenders,
Inspire our self-improvement to serve the country.

——Remember, the darkest page in modern Chinese history
On the night of September 18, 1931, Shenyang,
The Japanese artillery broke the tranquility of Shenyang City,
The Japanese Kwantung Army blatantly blew up the Nanman Railway tracks,
Bombarded the Beidaying,
The "September 18th" Incident that shocked China and foreign countries broke out.

The mountains and rivers are broken and devastated,
On the second day of the September 18th Incident,
The Japanese army occupied Shenyang,
In less than half a year, the entire Northeast was occupied,
30 million compatriots became subjugated slaves.
From the Songhua River to the Lugou Bridge,
From the fall of the Northeast to the full invasion of China,
The land is lost and the lives are burnt,
The Chinese nation has reached its most dangerous time.

Yang Jingyu, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng,

The "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" who would rather die than surrender,
The "eight hundred warriors" who fought to the end...

This is a period of the same hatred and the enemy's struggle
National memory.
The 14 years of the Anti-Japanese War,
The number of Chinese military and civilian casualties exceeded 35 million,
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, a hot soil and a soul,
The ancient Chinese phoenix nirvana and rebirth.

——Warning, the teacher who never forgets the past
History is a textbook and a sober agent.
Every September 18th,
The harsh air defense alert reminded the Chinese:
That is a shame and a lesson,
That is a wake-up call and a spur.

Remember the scars burned with blood and tears,
Not to perpetuate hatred, but to warn us,
The road ahead is still bumpy,
Be beaten if you fall behind, know your shame and be brave!

Remembering is the best memorial to history,
Keep in mind the heavy history,
We must not be afraid of difficulties and dangers, and unite the spirit of struggle.
Inherit the legacy of the ancestors,
We must work together to forge national rejuvenation.
