Commemorations of the Long March legacy

Overview

As the 90th anniversary of the Red Army’s Long March approaches, historical reflections and cultural commemorations are highlighting the event’s role in shaping the Communist Party of China.

Historical analyses focus on the strategic retreat from the Kuomintang’s fifth encirclement campaign in 1934, noting key milestones such as the Battle of Xiang River, the Zunyi Conference, and the crossing of the Luding Bridge. These events are credited with shifting the revolutionary center to Shaanxi and establishing core values of perseverance and independent decision-making.

In regions like Guangxi and Ruijin, local initiatives are working to preserve this heritage through memorial sites, traveling exhibitions, and educational programs. Efforts include immersive theatrical performances and study tours designed to integrate historical resources with modern tourism to ensure the legacy remains accessible to younger generations.
