The reason why the school song of Sun Yat-sen University changed is to keep up with the times and strengthen the construction of the motherland. Sun Yat-sen University decided that in the new historical period of socialist modernization, the school collectively revised the original lyrics and the original school song remained unchanged.

The school song is an important symbol reflecting the spirit of a school. It embodies the school's educational philosophy, school-running characteristics and fine traditions. It is a high summary of a school's excellent school spirit, teaching style and study style, and a spiritual declaration that leads the development direction of the school. School songs play an important role in encouraging students' growth, students' progress, uniting the masses, condensing school spirit, promoting campus culture and strengthening alumni's feelings for their alma mater.
