This year marks the 90th anniversary of the successful completion of the Long March by the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army.
Mount Mihuashan in Quanzhou County of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region holds the memory of the tragic and heroic bloody battles during the Long March.
At the end of November 1934, the battle on the Xiangjiang River began. To ensure the crossing of the Xiangjiang by the Central Committee of the CPC and the main forces of the Red Army of the Central Area, and to thwart the enemy’s attempt to encircle and annihilate the Red Army east of the river, tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers and commanders gave their lives.
92 years ago, the grandfather and father of Jiang Shilin, residents of the village of Caiwan in Quanzhou County, discovered the bodies of seven fallen Red Army soldiers in the bushes on Mount Mihuashan. Despite the danger, they buried the bodies. Since then, five generations of the Jiang family have treated the fallen as their own: every year during the Qingming Festival they perform memorial rites and year after year carefully tend to the grave—from fathers to sons and grandsons, from youth to gray hair.
