The first Chinese reporter to enter Yan'an for interviews, a news record as famous as "Red Star Shines on China".
After the Red Army began its 25,000-mile Long March, Fan Changjiang, who was only 26 years old, went deep into northern Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and other places to conduct investigations and interviews. He not only described the military and political dignitaries and analyzed the social situation, but also saw the naked children in the cold night of the plateau, the prostitutes who were forced to sell their bodies, and the peasants who were beaten for failing to pay the heavy cigarette tax... From history to the current situation, from politics and economy to religion, ethnicity and other issues, his book fully revealed the increasingly acute class oppression and ethnic conflicts in the country at that time. It was the first time to truthfully report the Red Army's Long March, which was an important milestone in the history of Chinese communications.
