Talk:Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China

Dubious: Masculine lyrics
The word 她 ("she") is a relatively new and contemporary addition to the Chinese language, being only first ever used in the 1910s, influenced by European literature which has male and female pronouns. As a pronoun, 他 is gender neutral if the context does not require a specified gender. The article's claim that 他 is used to make the party "masculine" is extremely dubious, and unsourced. -- benlisquare T•C•E 06:00, 18 May 2019 (UTC)


 * That note is bizarre and not useful. The Chinese language does not have grammatical gender, so it is meaningless, misleading, and confusing to describe a noun as being "masculine" or "feminine". Since it is unsourced and serves no useful purpose, I have removed it. Duck type goose (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Copyrighted lyrics
I was going to inquire when you initially tagged the article, but could you provide a Chinese or English link containing the copyright information of Cao Huoxing's works? There may be more copyrighted works of his on Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, unless you caught them all. Cheers, Centre Left Right  ✉ 20:17, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think a link is necessary only as long as full lyrics are used. BTW, when the article was created in 2006, the edit summary said: Translated from Chinese Wikipedia. As I can assume, the Chinese article used to have full lyrics. Also, the article verifies identity of a lyricist. And.... would copyright law of China and c:COM:China do? --George Ho (talk) 20:40, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Food for thought: You guys may have have to check the ROC's copyright laws. This song was created before the PRC existed as it will end up being in a public domain by 2049. —184.147.23.236 (talk) 21:58, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
