One of the well-known poem of Mao Zedong depicted the Long March vividly, and the full text of the poem was carved beside the flag:

the Red Army fears not the trials of the Long March,

Holding light ten thousand crags and torrents.

The Five Ridges wind like gentle ripples

And the majestic Wumeng roll by, globules of clay.

Warm the steep cliffs lapped by the waters of Golden Sand,

Cold the iron chains spanning the Dadu River.

Minshan’s thousand li of snow joyously crossed,

The three Armies march on, each face glowing.

Climbing snow mountains, crossing grasslands, none of these harsh natural conditions  hindered the Red Army’s path. The spirit of the Long March embodies the Chinese national spirit of unremitting self-improvement and is the cornerstone and soul of the revolution.
