Features: The Long March of the Red Army is the first recorded in history and a miracle in the annals of war. This battle-hardened group, forged and sustained by unwavering faith, lofty ideals, and the instinct for survival, endured the merciless trials of the arduous journey—hunger, extreme cold, pain, death, and other survival limits almost beyond the capacity of individual life. They crossed 18 mountains, crossed 24 rivers, and fought through 14 provinces. They broke through the encirclement and fought their way northward against the Nationalist army and local reactionary forces, with a total strength of over one million. This history has passed 70 years, and most of the witnesses and participants of this glorious journey have long passed away. Yet, through the wash of time and storms, the spirit of the Chinese nation—its resilience, indomitable perseverance, and the sacred revolutionary belief of Communist Party members—has become even more precious. To enable our descendants to deeply understand this history and inherit the spirit of the Long March, the editorial team of this book has collected a wealth of related materials and conducted numerous interviews with individuals. They have compiled and edited this "Long March Archives" as primary historical sources, objectively, comprehensively, and authentically recreating those legendary years. This book is not only a comprehensive historical record of the Red Army's Long March but also a textbook for patriotic education and popularization. We dedicate this book to the 70th anniversary of the Long March victory and the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China!
