This year marks the 90th anniversary of the completion of the Long March. Spanning two years and thousands of miles, this strategic manoeuvre kept the flame of the Chinese revolution alive and established the foundation for its eventual victory. Cambridge historian Hans van de Ven argues that the Long March and the broader Chinese revolutionary experience, more than being merely national events, were actually of global significance, not only transforming China's destiny but also profoundly influencing the course of 20th-century world history.
