China’s youth draw upon Long March spirit to navigate modern uncertainties
As China marks the 90th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory in the Long March, some young Chinese are looking to the historic journey for guidance as they face uncertainty in their lives and future.
For Lyu Leiyiyi, a 22-year-old student at the Communication University of China, the spirit of the Long March offers a sense of stability at a time when people and the environment around her are changing at a dizzying pace.
“People in their 20s are going through a period of uncertainty,” Lyu said. “The spirit of the Long March can help us build a more stable inner core.”
This expanded perspective eventually intersected with China’s efforts to anchor young citizens in the country’s revolutionary history, such as the Long March.
