When That Day Comes
"When That Day Comes" (simplified Chinese: 当那一天来临; traditional Chinese: 當那一天來臨; pinyin: Dāng nà yītiān láilín), also translated as As the War Approaches, is a Chinese patriotic song written by the People's Liberation Army General Political Department in 2005, with lyrics written by Wang Xiaoling. The song was created in response to a 2004 order by the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department to bolster the morale of military personnel.
