From Sept. 14 to 19, the State Council Information Office (SCIO) organized a media trip to Jiangxi, Guizhou, and Gansu. Chinese and international journalists visited historic sites associated with the Long March and interviewed local officials and residents, as well as relatives of Red Army martyrs. 

Through these visits and interviews, journalists from Russia, the Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Brazil, and other countries gained a deeper understanding of the Long March spirit and explored ways to tell the story of the Long March and of China's development in the new era.
