On the morning of September 25, the university officially released the "Anthem of China University of Labor Relations" at the 74th anniversary celebration symposium and the launching ceremony of the 75th anniversary celebration. University leaders Liu Xiangbing and Liu Lugang, and a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee Yan Xiaofei, along with more than 100 representatives of teachers, students and alumni, witnessed the glorious moment of the anthem's release together.
"Walking from the brilliant dawn of New China, we carry forward our revolutionary heritage..." With the resounding melody and the spirited singing of the students, the "Anthem of China University of Labor Relations" was officially released. The lyrics are full of upward struggle and youthful vigor, integrating well the university's revolutionary traditions, educational philosophy, mission and vision, university motto and spirit characteristics. The melody is powerful and inspiring, with strong appeal and cohesion. The whole song fully embodies the union characteristics and cultural elements of the university, reflecting the educational philosophy and spiritual outlook of the university in the new era.
In March 2021, the university initiated the collection and creation of the anthem, soliciting lyrics and music from all faculty, students, staff, alumni at home and abroad, and individuals from all walks of society who care about and support the development of the university, and received nearly 100 works. The collection and creation process lasted for two years, and the anthem was finally completed by the well-known lyricist Chen Daobin and the young composer Yin Qianwen, both from the People's Liberation Army Art Troupe. During this period, both of them visited the university many times, exchanged ideas with teachers and students, solicited opinions widely throughout the university, revised the drafts several times, and finally completed the anthem on May 17, 2023.
The anthem is an important symbol reflecting the spirit and style of the university, which embodies the university's educational characteristics and fine traditions, playing an important role in uniting the university spirit, inspiring students' growth, and promoting campus cultural construction. Next, the university will carry out anthem singing activities among all teachers and students through different forms of activities and various artistic methods, and fully utilize various levels and types of propaganda platforms to promote and disseminate the anthem, making the "Anthem of China University of Labor Relations" a source of strength for the university to become a domestically first-class and internationally renowned university in the field of labor and trade unions.
