"Mountains! I whip my swift horse, glued to my saddle. I turn my head in surprise, the sky is only three feet three away." These lines are from Three Poems in Sixteen Characters, written by Mao Zedong during the Long March in Guizhou Province.

Dong embroidery artisan Lu Yongjiang says, "As long as I can still stand, I won’t give up on this craft." Zhou Wei, a guide at the Houchang Meeting Memorial Hall, puts it another way: "Every generation has its own Long March, and every generation has its own path to walk."
