The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Song () was written to commemorate the Generalissimo and late President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China. There are two songs: the second song was written by Hwang Yau-tai or Huang Youdi, Huang Yu-ti (黃友棣) in 1975, who later also wrote Chiang Ching-kuo Memorial Song in 1988. The song was formerly popular for school choir competitions as students were required to memorise it. Since the 1990s, under the presidency of Lee Teng-hui, it has fallen into disuse, though most of the population still knows it. The song was also played daily in the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall every morning until 2017. Occasionally, it can be heard during political campaigns as well. It was also seen as one of the characteristics of Chiang's personality cult. Official version This was the officially adopted version of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Song written by Li Chung-he and Zhang Ling. Initial version The initial version was written by 秦孝儀 (Chin Hsiao-I) and 黃友棣 (Hwang Yau-tai) shortly after Chiang's death. However this version was officially replaced by the officially adopted version written by Li Chung-he (李中和) and Zhang Ling (張齡).
