Why the Long March Still Matters to China and the World

Oct 15, 2026

This October witnesses the 90th anniversary of the end of the Long March. But was that the end of the story? This is a key question raised in the new CGTN Documentary Breaking Through. Part travelogue, part history, this series retraces the steps of those intrepid pioneers, reflecting not just on how and why the original Long March happened, but also on the impact it continues to have on the landscape of today's China. And the conclusion it comes to is a thought-provoking one: the Long March's most enduring legacy is perhaps not the monuments that dot the route taken by the original Marchers, but a whole range of endeavors taking place today with the potential to reshape not just China, but the entire world.
