Storming Loushan Pass with the Red Army: What does 'moving forward anew' mean to young people today?

What would it be like to travel back to 1935 and join the Red Army in its uphill assault on Loushan Pass? At the Loushan Pass Victory live-action battle experience in Zunyi City, southwest China's Guizhou Province, visitors take on the roles of local villagers and witness a reenactment of the fierce battle. In 2026, China marks the 90th anniversary of the Red Army's victory in the Long March. CGTN's Mi Sutong visits the Loushan Pass battlefield and the site of the Zunyi Meeting to revisit key moments in this pivotal chapter of Chinese history. The story of Zhong Chibing, known as the "one-legged general," alongside conversations with Chinese and international young people and museum docents, offers a closer look at the courage and perseverance of the Long March generation. Written after the Red Army's victory at Loushan Pass in February 1935, Mao Zedong's poem "Loushan Pass" includes the words "move forward and cross it anew," which continue to resonate with young people today. #longmarch #longmarch90 #LongMarchSnap #loushanpass #guizhou #redarmy #chinahistory #chinesehistory #immersive #reenactment 00:00 Storming Loushan Pass with the Red Army 00:25 The Long March: A Battle That Changed the Course 01:20 The Zunyi Meeting: A Turning Point 01:30 The Fight to Retake Loushan Pass 02:10 Climbing the Mountain Where the Red Army Fought 03:00 What International Visitors Take Away 03:30 Zhong Chibing: The One-Legged General 03:48 Mao Zedong's Poem: "Moving Forward Anew" 04:00 What Does the Long March Mean to Young People Today? 04:40 Moving Forward, Nearly a Century Later 📺 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://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-10-18/What-does-moving-forward-anew-mean-to-young-people-today--1RlfsZwe1LG/p.html 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
