Number of Red Army Long Marchers (specific)

Reposted from Komatsu Blog

The Red Army’s Long March started from Jiangxi with 100,000 people, and when it arrived in northern Shaanxi, there were only 10,000 people left. Most of them died on the road; during the Anti-Japanese War, Communist Party members sacrificed even more. Later, Mao Zedong said a very famous saying: "We, the Chinese nation, have the spirit to fight our enemies to the bitter end, the determination to restore the past on the basis of self-reliance, and the ability to stand on our own among the nations of the world." These three sentences greatly inspired people across the country. Mao Zedong wrote in the article "Farewell, Leighton Stuart" that "the Chinese are not afraid of death, so are they still afraid of difficulties?"
