Features: During that heroic and tragic Long March of 25,000 li, a group of special figures were active. Among them were the wives of central leaders, female cadres, and ordinary female soldiers. With the unique resilience and suffering of women, they fought with all their might, and with deep love and affection, they composed many touching and poignant stories. Hunger, disease, fierce battles, and death could not stop them from moving forward. This group of admirable and respected female heroes smiled and sang amidst the smoky battlefield, journeying forward. Through arduous and in-depth interviews, and by reviewing the military history materials of the masters, the author of this book authentically recreates this little-known history. Many of the once vibrant and formidable female Red Army soldiers have already passed away, but the beautiful stories they left behind on the long march still resonate deeply and move the heart.
