Armies Communist Marches Nationalist Zedong 1935 Kuomintang Shansi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the Long March (1934-1935), a pivotal chapter in Chinese history. The Long March was a series of arduous and strategic military retreats by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) armies, led by Chairman Mao Zedong, as they retreated from the south of China to the north and west, evading capture by the pursuing Kuomintang (Nationalist) Army. The scene depicted in this photograph shows weary and determined soldiers trudging through the rugged terrain of Shanxi Province, carrying their meager belongings and weapons. The Long March is estimated to have covered over 6,000 miles, and the journey took the communist forces through some of the most challenging terrains in China, including mountains, rivers, and deserts. The Long March was a turning point in the Chinese Civil War, as it enabled the CCP to regroup and rebuild their forces, ultimately leading to their eventual victory in 1949. The march also solidified Mao Zedong's leadership and the communist ideology, shaping China's modern history. Despite the hardships and sacrifices, the soldiers' unwavering commitment to their cause is evident in their determined expressions and their disciplined formation. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and perseverance of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
