This woodcut print was created by Chinese artists Cai Dizhi and Xu Qinsong in 1981. It depicts CPC-led guerrilla forces rescuing Chinese cultural celebrities and anti-Japanese patriots from enemy control and transferring them to safety in 1942.
In 1947, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army managed to cross the Yellow River after three nights of combat, which became a turning point in China’s War of Liberation (1945-1949).
In 1934, Chinese Red Army soldiers led by the CPC headed off on the historic Long March from Yudu County in southeast China’s Jiangxi Province. Crossing the Yudu River was their first challenge along the journey, and they received a lot of support from Yudu villagers.
The Long March between 1934 and 1936 was an epic military maneuver by Chinese Communist forces. Soldiers had traversed 14 provinces along this journey. Part of our ‘The Art of the Party’ series.
