It's a sunny morning.
The pigeon whistle was accompanied by a wake-up call.
But the world is not peaceful.
There are times of turmoil in peacetime.

Don't worry, relatives.
In order to win, I will go forward bravely.

The creative background of When that Day Comes is to prepare for military struggle, cultivate the fighting spirit of the army and boost morale. In June 2004, the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department issued a notice to the whole army and all walks of life to collect queue songs expressing the fighting spirit. After the notice was issued, it received enthusiastic response from the military and all walks of life. Major units of the whole army actively carry out mass cultural activities in the form of organizing creative classes and singing evenings. From the leaders of large units to the new soldiers who just joined the army, they all enthusiastically wrote lyrics and contributed articles. After receiving the task, some professional songwriters went to grass-roots units to experience life, went to plateaus and islands, held symposiums, observed military training and learned the fighting style of the troops, which further stimulated their creative enthusiasm. The songwriters of many local literary and art groups also actively participated in the creation, expressing the voices of local artists.
