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:

东方太阳，正在升起，
The sun is rising in the East,
人民共和国正在成长；
The People’s Republic is growing up,
我们领袖毛泽东，
Our leader Mao Zedong,
指引着前进的方向。
Is guiding the way forward.
我们的生活天天向上，
Our life is getting better every day,
我们的前途万丈光芒。
Our future is forever bright.

This line was also not included:

谁敢侵犯我们就叫他死亡！
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.
