At the East Turbine Factory, two flagpoles stood at the front: the Party flag on the left, the national flag on the right.
Corps Captain Luo stood before the ranks and, with a solemn and serious voice that echoed all around, said,
"Comrades, revisiting the Party oath in difficult circumstances is an excellent tradition of our Party!
Our revolutionary ancestors dedicated their whole lives to the Party's principles with unyielding faith and steadfast commitment!
Today, in this highly challenging environment, one hundred and eight soldiers, sixty-two Party members, and provisional Party members of the whole corps, are leading sixteen new comrades to take the Party oath!"
After speaking, he turned towards the proudly flying flags and shouted loudly,
"First item, sing 'The Internationale'!

The voices from below rose in unison:
"Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!
"Arise, all ye who are heavy with misery!
