In China, the usage rate of this song is very high. This song is not only used in various sports meetings, but also often used in unit meetings, award ceremonies, and many group activities unrelated to athletes and sports meetings.

In China, institutions, enterprises, schools, etc. In group activities, we often need some music to set off the atmosphere, but there are not many suitable music, so the Athletes' March has become the first choice. Including commending model workers, I often use this music, as if all model workers are competing.

Creative background:

197 1 year, in order to welcome the Asian table tennis friendly invitational tournament held in Beijing, the relevant departments requested the Military Orchestra of the China People's Liberation Army to compose a March for the athletes.

In a few days, seven or eight comrades wrote the melody of an athlete's March. After some comments, everyone agrees that the theme written by amateur composer Wu Guangrui is better, but it needs further processing. Alliance leaders decided to send professional creators Jia Shuang and Wu Guangrui to accomplish this glorious task together.

In order to write the Athletes' March, Wu Guangrui talked with athletes many times, watched their sports competitions, read relevant sports materials and listened to some famous marches at home and abroad repeatedly.

In the gymnasium, when the athletes entered the stadium heroically, Wu Guangrui personally played and sang this piece, asking the athletes to follow the beat of the music. Through the efforts of Wu Guangrui and other comrades, this heroic "March of Athletes" was finally born.
