This is a news article on Mao's Long March. It's from the China Daily news. This connects to what we're doing in class because the Long March was one of the ways Mao gained the support of the peasants which would eventually be the factor that would allow him to make China a single party state. This adds more detail to what Mao did along the march that may have influenced the people. I face the limitations of the fact that this article was most likely translated from Chinese to English so there may be some mistakes in the text. Also, the author may have been pro or anticommunist, but either way the diction seems straight forward enough that there aren't a lot of influential adjectives or loaded words.
