[quote=FRANKENSTEIN,248332]The Red Army' s Long March from 1934 to 1936  was a special episode in Chinese history. The shaky alliance between Communisty Party and Nationalist Party was ended on April 12,1927. The Red Army suffered a great loss from 1927 to 1935 and had to retreat from Jiangxi, the revolutionary base of the Red Army. The soldiers of  the Red Army mainly consisted of uneducated or illiterate poor workers and peasants. Despite of the harsh natural conditions, the Red Army walked 25,000 Li on foot, and finally arrived at  Yan'an through their strong willpower and determination. Last year was the 70th Aniversary of the end of Long March. The whole country memorized the event through various means.

In China, the Long March Spirit became one of "the Hottest Words" in 2006.The dauntless spirit of the Red Army soldiers that is exemplified through the Long March has provided endless inspiration for people around the country.

According to asurvey, over 74 percent of Chinese younsters believe that the Long March spirit is the most valuable legacy of the Long March for Chinese people.

25,000 Li. Did any other countries' soldiers had ever walked so long on  foot in two years under harsh natural condition and the threat of starvation?
