China’s Enduring Long March Spirit Fuels National Rejuvenation Efforts

According to Saednews, The enduring spirit of the historic Long March continues to inspire China’s pursuit of national rejuvenation, encouraging the Chinese people to overcome challenges and achieve new progress in modernization.

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, a remarkable revolutionary achievement accomplished under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The Long March remains a landmark chapter in China’s historic pursuit of national rejuvenation.

Between October 1934 and October 1936, the Red Army, led by the CPC, broke through Kuomintang encirclement, crossed more than ten provinces, and overcame formidable natural obstacles, including turbulent rivers, snow-covered mountains and perilous grasslands, before completing its extraordinary military journey. The victory represented a crucial turning point for the CPC and the Chinese revolution, transforming earlier setbacks into renewed momentum and opening a new chapter in the struggle for national independence and people's liberation.

The spirit of the Long March embodies unwavering revolutionary ideals and convictions, extraordinary courage and sacrifice, independence and the pursuit of truth, strict discipline and solidarity, and strong bonds with the people. These values have become deeply rooted in the identity and collective consciousness of the Chinese nation.

Under the CPC’s leadership, the Chinese people have experienced revolution, socialist construction and reform. In the new era, China has achieved historic progress and undergone profound changes in the development of the Party and the country, overcoming risks, challenges and difficulties in various fields. Among its most significant achievements, China, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, has eliminated absolute poverty that persisted for thousands of years and established a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

Chinese modernization is an unprecedented and demanding undertaking. A strong spirit of perseverance and struggle remains indispensable to exploring new paths, overcoming obstacles and achieving further success.

Internationally, China faces efforts to contain and restrict its development, alongside the growing challenges of unilateralism and protectionism. At home, the country must address deep-rooted issues affecting reform, development and stability, promote high-quality economic growth, strengthen scientific and technological self-reliance, and advance common prosperity.

China has embarked on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all respects. Along this new Long March, the country is prepared to withstand powerful winds, turbulent waters and severe storms. It will firmly safeguard its national sovereignty, security and development interests while striving to sustain the remarkable achievements of rapid economic growth and long-term social stability.

The victory of the Long March demonstrated that the people possess immense wisdom and strength. The CPC remains committed to its fundamental mission of serving the people wholeheartedly and follows a people-centered approach to development. The realization of national rejuvenation likewise depends on the people's support, collective wisdom and active participation.

The leadership of the CPC is a fundamental guarantee for China's national rejuvenation. Upholding this leadership with unwavering commitment is essential to ensuring the continued progress of Chinese modernization. In the new era, the CPC has strengthened its leadership across all areas and made substantial progress in enforcing strict and comprehensive Party self-governance.

As the world's largest governing political party, the CPC is leading the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in a united effort to advance national rejuvenation. During the 2026–2030 period, China aims to achieve decisive progress toward basically realizing socialist modernization by 2035.

The spirit of the Long March will continue to inspire China to pursue its ambitious national goals with confidence, unity, perseverance and determination.
