國民革命軍八路軍 not 国民革命军八路军.
Oops.
37:54 small mistake. Guang Weiran's name in Chinese is 光未然, Zhang Guangnian ( 张光年) was his birth name.
I've realised I never gave Yan Liangkun's Chinese name; It's 严良堃.
Same for Ma Sicong: 马思聪 (aka the King of Violinists).
Also some sources I've read say that Xian Xinghai had left-wing tendencies even before he came to Paris.

    Honestly if the music started at 0:45 it would actually make for great military march music. Even more so if you start at 1:22. It's just the first 45 seconds have been tainted forever by clowns.

    If we listen past the part that is commonly associated with the circus, the march really sounds like a military march.

    A musician or music teacher will tell you that this piece is called "Entrance of the Gladiators". A circus band leader or calliope player will tell you that it's called "Thunder and Blazes". A music critic or music historian will tell you that it's called "The Grand Chromatic March". And, believe it or not, they're all correct! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_of_the_Gladiators

    personally in regards to this song, I feel it works in both ways, it is a beautiful march song but it can work well as the background to circuses (Which I feel are like not a thing as they once were who knows) it has two meanings, and isn't that great?

    This could've probably been a iconic war/milltary related song and how it's used affected how we percieved it, or maybe the melody really does fit the circus too much.

    When put in this context, I can kind of see it in an unironic light, the music does sorta give off that vibe of a child in the 1900s looking at the soldiers wearing shiny uniforms on parade day.
