The spirit of the Long March
From October 1934 to October 1936, the CPC followed its own strategy by leading the main forces of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army on a trek of 25,000 li (12,500 km) from its bases in south China to the Party's enclave in northern Shaanxi Province. Known as the "Long March," this epic effort created a legacy of revolutionary idealism and started a new great march toward national independence and people's liberation.
This is a spirit of strong beliefs, of fearless resolution to surmount difficulties at any cost, of firm discipline, and of Party unity.
长征精神
1934年10月至1936年10月的两年时间里,中国共产党领导下的中国工农红军主力,行程二万五千里,完成了从长江下游各根据地向位于西北内陆的陕北革命根据地的战略大转移。红军长征书写了战争史诗,谱写了精神史诗,铸就了长征精神,开启了中国共产党为实现民族独立、人民解放而斗争的新的伟大进军。
长征精神,就是把全国人民和中华民族的根本利益看得高于一切,坚定革命的理想和信念,坚信正义事业必然胜利的精神;就是为了救国救民,不怕任何艰难险阻,不惜付出一切牺牲的精神;就是坚持独立自主、实事求是,一切从实际出发的精神;就是顾全大局、严守纪律、紧密团结的精神;就是紧紧依靠人民群众,同人民群众生死相依、患难与共、艰苦奋斗的精神。长征精神是中国共产党人及其领导的人民军队革命风范的生动反映,是中华民族自强不息的民族品格的集中展示,是以爱国主义为核心的民族精神的最高体现。
