Features: The failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement" campaign forced the Central Red Army to leave its Jiangxi base and embark on a long and arduous journey. In the bloody battle of the Xiangjiang River, the Red Army suffered enormous losses, but amidst the flowing blood, a turning point emerged. After the Tongdao Conference, the Red Army turned toward Guizhou, crossed the Wujiang River, and cleverly defeated Zunyi, where a historic new opportunity awaited. After Mao Zedong regained military command, he led the Red Army on the Four Crossings of the Chishui River, the flight across the Jinsha River, the crossing of the Dadu River, the traversal of snow-covered mountains, and the passage through grasslands, ultimately arriving victorious in Shaanxi. Soon after, they launched an eastern campaign.
This book, written in a realistic style, vividly recreates the tragic scenes of the Long March of 25,000 li, reveals the complex inner worlds of high-ranking figures in a specific historical context, and portrays the lifelike images of numerous historical figures such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Luo Fu, Wang Jiaxiang, Li De, Bo Gu, Peng Dehuai, Lin Biao, and Chiang Kai-shek. Blending (journalistic realism) and literary artistry, it presents a colorful and magnificent tapestry.
