Long March at 90: Why its spirit still resonates

Ninety years ago, the Chinese Red Army completed one of the most remarkable journeys in modern history – crossing snow-capped mountains and treacherous marshlands in a desperate struggle for survival. What began as a military retreat became a historic turning point and a testament to extraordinary endurance, conviction and determination. Today, China is on a very different journey, pursuing modernization while facing new challenges and uncertainties. Can the spirit of the Long March still inspire generations who never experienced it? And what lessons can its story offer the wider world? Ninety years on, what does the Long March mean today? Joining today's Dialogue are Harold Weldon, Australian sinologist and vice president of Weldon International Group; Victor Gao Zhikai, chair professor at Soochow University; Tings Chak, co-coordinator of Tricontinental Asia and the Art and Culture Department; and Wang Xinsong, associate professor at Beijing Normal University. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
