滅 - Mie4 - Extinguish, Exterminate

Sometimes Jenny randomly starts singing songs. Yesterday she suddenly stood at attention, saluted, and sang this song, then turned around and marched out of the room. It turns out it’s the song she used to have to sing before school every day. I found the full lyrics at this diary of a Taiwanese guy’s experience in the army:

我愛中華 我愛中華 文化悠久 物博地大
開國五千年 五族共一家
中華兒女最偉大
為民族 為國家 奮斗犧牲絕不怕
我們要消滅共匪 復興中華民國

And in English:

I love China! I love China! Its culture is long! Its resources are vast, and land is big!
The country has existed for 5,000 years. Five tribes make one family.
Chinese sons and daughters are the greatest!
For people, for country, we struggle and sacrifice with no fear.
We have to exterminate the communist gang! And revive the Republic of China!

For those of you in other countries, I had to sing this (just the first verse) right after saying the Pledge of Allegiance every morning:

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
