Who invades us will be killed!
We’ve seen quite a few interesting things from China’s government and the Olympic planning committee, but this one is not too surprising…
From MaoXian:
It’s worth noting that the “Hymn to the Motherland” sung (er, lip-synched) at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics was abbreviated, in part cutting out this key stanza:
The sun is rising in the East,
The People’s Republic is growing up,
Our leader Mao Zedong,
Is leading us forward.
Our life is getting better every day,
Our future is forever bright.This line was also not included:
Who invades us will be killed!
If anyone can improve on my rough translation, please leave a comment and I’ll update the post later.
