The Long March Documentary Episode One: Heroic Spirit

It's ironic that the great feat of the long March instilled Mao as the red army's undisputed leader. Mao polices years later would lead to mass starvation and untold suffering of millions of Chinese

Yes it is ! one of the most heroic episode in the history of warfare.
The Long March showing the greatest determination by The Red Army to achieve their ultimate strategic aim , attempt to stop the invasion , and yes they did eventually .

They do a great job at covering up genocide. March and genocide have never been synonymous before.

Three principles of the people

The comunist propagand like of exalted the maoist sistem. Live the nationalist chinese. Chiang kai check

Humanity owes gratitude to these brave people who gave everything so that China could have a socialist society and be a bright, shining beacon of hope.

Just here to simp for Chairman Mao and communism 🫡

More like ' The Long Marx'....sucked ass. Shout out to US and China love you both

Cannot imagine having the courage for this kind of march. Whatever their personal reasons it was a extreme representation of human persistence.

I love this, please remake or reupload this series for pro Taiwan separatist to see their past and the atrocities committed by the nationalists and reflect

After watching this documentary now I have better understanding of China.

In long march how much could be the level of of dissertation. Any info on it

Mao announced the government is established. It's the right message since China has had many governments and dynasties.

Thank you grandpa .. you are very brave..

Wow, what a propoganda movie?

I don't know what is most hilarious, this 'documentary' or the shills in the comment section. Now I am no China basher, but this is just pure propaganda, not actual History. A few nice photos and illustrations, though..

Incredibly inspirational... this is the special nature of our march towards socialism. We know we are correct and how correct we are and no forces except death or disease can stop us.

VAV-BET-CHET

So different from western documentaries with their simplifications, corny background music, distortions of truth and all-out lies. I'm gonna watch all this series and hopefully gain a better insight of China's rising from their century of humiliation to biggest world economy. It was a road with lots of bumps but the resilience of communists is amazing and in the end they prevailed. Long live Socialism as a way to achieve Communism and true freedom for all.

I was born in 1955. The following story was told to me by three Kuomintang senior officers in different occasions who were involved in the war. This was why more fresh troops joining Mao’s army while Mao was on the run chasing by Kuomintang army whenever there were more than a few days’ gap.

Mao’s will send in soldiers dressing as Kuomintang soldiers into the village. They will rape, kill, steal doing all horrible things to the villagers. After awhile, Mao’s army will arrive. They will fight off the so call Kuomintang soldiers and restore peace to the villages and live happily ever after. When Mao got wind that Kuomintang army is arriving, Mao will tell the villagers that they have to run and cannot protect them from the evil Kuomintang army. The strong one have to either join them or face what they experienced before again. When the Kuomintang army entered the villages, most young men joined the communist and left. When the villages realized they were cheated, it was too late. Mao had succeed in have the villages feed them willingly and provided him new soldiers.

Now in 2022, Is Communist China is still using similar tactic to survive in the world stage?

The comments here are sickening.

The Kuomintang were the corrupt American funded puppets who tried to exterminate the CCP. The Kuomintang eventually fled to Taiwan in which they exterminated most of the indigenous population living on Taiwan.

For a Canadian-Chinese born in 1949 in Hong Kong adopted by a Chinese soldier because my father have mental illness after capture by Japanese. Every time I watch history like this I cried with tears of gratitude.

A fitting tribute to these magnificent and inspiring heroes.

I'm not Chinese but I'm now completely in love with the new super power

Mao travelled in a car for most of the journey stopping for photos along the way
But he did purge important captains and generals to assume power once it was over

I salute to the long march comrades. I might be tempted to do it if it is a march to the nearby brothel.

CPC may not be perfect but it is the best system for them at this point in time. Another long march or civil war will finish off the entire Chinese civilisation.

Convicted corrupt CPC officials should be ordered to complete the long march before sentencing.

I see the 忠心爱国精神 in these old Chinese ppl. Salute to the heroes !!!
So it was GuoMingTang 蒋介石 that was killing brutally but instead the Communists were getting the bad name of blatant killing & the whole world wronged & began to fear the Communist Chinese falsely.

为有牺牲多壮志，敢叫日月换新天！只要共产党能够在正确的道路上代表绝大部分中国人的利益，我们就要支持他！

Cross Chishui river 4 times......reverse the dangerous situation for red army.

Many of them are survivors. Not only did they survive the war, they also survive pass 100.

Celebrating a country's successful atomic bomb's detonation is odd. Or rather, it would be had it not been used TWICE on a neighbouring nation.

This is well made propaganda but not history. The long March was a defeat.

May the souls of hundreds of thousands fallen soldiers come back to haunt those who wish to destroy the name of their Party for which they died.

Thank you for these series that give us a insight and a immesurable idea of whats in the Long March as history books outside China did only painted one perspective and now we have another view . Thank you again

Long live moa

This is a part of history my school teachers neglected to share with me. Thank you for this, may the red star of China continue to shine in perpetuity.

Chan Kai Check was just a puppet who was only there to serve the West.

The original communists were true heroes. This is one of the greatest feats in military history. Mao Zedong was a genius. Respect to these old veterans the Chinese people should never forget their sacrifice.

A timeless heroic achievement that inspires all that learn of it!

A true historical account of this epic march and the PLA fight for China's freedom

I'll have a 13, 24, 42, spicy 42, and, of course, 69 for dessert.

Idk why ppl are mad, it’s still legitimate history even if it leaves some stuff out, there aren’t any blatant lies, other than saying that the modern government is a continuation of Mao‘s-that‘s just stupid.

To give truth to history: The Red Army on its Long March was never threathened with annihilation by the Kuomintang forces. They were rather threatened by Mao Zedongs infight with other party leaders. Do Chinese people know that Mao was carried in a Sedan almost the whole 10 000km? Kuomintang did not attack the Red Army except for at the Xiang River.

The veterans are still fiercely proud and passionate...imagine their will, strength and determination then! Simply incredible
