@LEGENDZ360 I think ultimately she meant any kind of change/revolution takes much struggle and pain..whether it's socialist revolution or not, whether it turns out to be successful (like French Revolution), or not.

I love her poem and the message of this poem. She is able to spin her words so provocatively to speak to people about a history and great struggle that many people have faced and are still facing today, as well as use that to warn people that change is indeed hard and that they should be ready.
To everybody who questions her Chinese: She is indeed speaking Mandarin, and the correct pinyin is "zhan(4) qi(3) lai(2). {stand/rise up} And she did pronounce the tones incorrectly at the end.

@bliss38 What a troll...
I love her performance. I also love, how you can be from completely different cultures but understand each others' struggles in varying dynamics.

i think she is using it metaphorically. Stand up meaning rise up...
