During the Long March, the Women Red Army undertook multiple responsibilities. In addition to fighting in fierce battles and participating in intense marches, they were also experts in medical care and food cultivation and worked to rescue the sick and wounded.
When the troops stopped for breaks, they organized activities such as singing, dancing and playing instruments to boost the army's morale.
The Women Red Army used their unique tenacity to fight desperately against the harsh environment and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Chinese revolution.
Their stories set a glorious model for China's young generations and are inspiring millions of women nowadays.
