Features: In the spring of 1936, the situation of the Chinese revolution was between two high tides. The Central Red Army, under the leadership of the Central Committee and Chairman Mao, had already completed the Long March of 25,000 li and successfully reached the Shaanxi northern base area. At this time, the Red Second Front Army, under the command of Comrades Ren Bishi, He Long, and others, began the great Long March. This was the last main force of the Red Army to embark on the Long March. Because it was the last batch, the difficulties it encountered were also extremely numerous. This book depicts a fragment of this grand undertaking: a vanguard of the Red Army facing obstacles such as blockades and pursuits by Nationalist forces while passing through Yunnan, Xikang, and other regions, as well as the various hardships encountered while traversing Tibetan brother regions and ancient, uninhabited snow mountains.
