Animated video: Red Star Over China

What happens when the author of Red Star Over China, American journalist Edgar Snow, meets a contemporary Chinese student? Together, they step back in time and retrace the Long March.

From the fierce Battle of the Xiangjiang River and crossing the Luding Iron Chain Bridge, to braving the snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands — the scenes leap vividly from the pages of history.

Through this imaginative journey, the Red Army's Long March and the revolutionary stories of Mao Zedong (1893-1976) and other CPC leaders come alive with renewed inspiration.
