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.
