If we compare history to a long river, then the century of Chinese history since modern times has been a saga of struggle for national salvation—turbulent, surging, and full of dramatic twists. In this earth-shaking revolutionary movement, the "Long March" is undoubtedly the most magnificent and heroic wave of all.

Viewed from the map, the marching routes of the Central Red Army resemble two powerful fists: a straight punch that shook the Yangtze River, and a hook that stunned the Yellow River.

The first strike launched a masterstroke of tactical genius across the Chishui River; the second brandished a world-conquering ambition along the Yanhe River.
