To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, The Long March was produced by Guangxi Film Studio, directed by Zhai, written by Wang, Li Ruqing and Zhai, and starring Tang Guoqiang, Lin Li and Ma. The film was shown in Chinese mainland on 1996.

The film tells the story that the Red Army broke through the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army and ended the wrong line of "Left" adventurism within the party. After a long March of 25,000 Li, the Red Army finally completed the world-famous Long March revolutionary feat at 1936+00.

Film evaluation

The film does not blindly sell the audience the suffering and misery of the war, but uses a lot of space to explain how each character lives as an ordinary person in the most authentic and unusual way in a special period.

The film's portrayal of ordinary people's daily performance has changed the audience's cold impression of revolutionary historical films, and even children will not have a sense of resistance and rejection. This is the most valuable part of this film. Iron-blooded men, warm-hearted women, revolutionary leaders and ordinary soldiers are the protagonists of the Long March.
