Sun Shuyun travels the route of the Long March interviewing its survivors to try to get at a better understanding of what really happened
Sun Shuyun travels the route of the Long March interviewing its survivors to try to get at a better understanding of what really happened. She feels disappointment and betrayal at some of the things she learns, but ultimately emerges with greater admiration for those who made the Long March. This book is filled with tragedy, suffering, and despiccable cruelty but amidst the suffering, the goodness of its heroes stands out even brighter. This book on the Long March by the first organized Chinese communist in 1934-36 will explain a lot about why China is today what it is. The book is not one person's understanding as to what happened.

The Red Army continued to supply itself with the most up-to-date weapons from Chiang's defeats – 20,000 rifles in the Second Campaign; and more equipment of every kind in the Third and Fourth.

Seventy years later Sun Shuyun set out to retrace the Marchers’ steps. The rugged landscape has changed little. The real story of the March, the most vivid pictures, come from the veterans whom Sun Shuyun has found. Her greatest difficult was in wrestling with the scenes lodged in her mind since childhood, part of the upbringing of every Chinese. She follows their trail through all those harsh miles, discovers their faith and disillusion, their pain and their hopes, and also recounts how many suffered even after the March’s end in 1936. The Long March’ was an epic journey of endurance, even more severe than history books say, and courage against impossible odds.
think of the Long March; if you feel tired, think of our revolutionary forebears.
