Nie Er
There were two important songs in the movie. One is called "Huangpu River", Aiyin's revision of "Peach Blossom River". This song was cut from the film in order to pass the government’s censors. The other is "Song of the New Women", which appeared at the end of the film. The song culminates in a revolutionary verser which envisions the simultaneous dissolution of class and gender divisions. It was composed by Nie Er, a famous composer who composed “many epochal songs in reflection of people’s hardship and Anti-Japanese war at his time, all of which had profound influence and extensive popularity in the whole nation.” He also wrote the melody later chosen for the national anthem of the People’s Republic of China.
