Features: During the 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 moving and poignant stories. Hunger, disease, battles, and death could not stop them from moving forward. This group of lovable and respectable female heroes smiled and sang amidst the smoky battlefield, traveling all the way. 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. Most of the Red Army female soldiers who were once in their prime and formidable have already passed away, but the beautiful stories they left behind on the long march remain as moving and heart-stirring as ever.
