“The Long March is a manifesto. It has proclaimed to the world that the Red Army is an army of heroes,
while the imperialists and their running dogs, Chiang Kai-shek and his like, are impotent. It has proclaimed their utter failure to encircle, pursue,
obstruct and intercept us. The Long March is also a propaganda force. It has announced to some 200
million people in eleven provinces that the road of the Red Army is their only road to liberation.”
Mao Zedong 1935
