Yan'an Notes

A copy of Yan'an Notes, four generations passing down their faith, and a century of Chinese struggle, from cave dwellings to the stars and beyond.

In 1935, Red Army soldier Li Yan'an wrote a diary in a cave dwelling in northern Shaanxi, recording his original commitment to “serve the people.”

- Volume One: He spun the hope of revolution on a spinning wheel and broke ground with a hoe to cultivate the future of New China.

- Volume Two: His son, Li Jianguo, laid the foundations for the “Two Bombs, One Satellite” program with his sweat in a factory in Northeast China.

- Volume Three: Amid Shenzhen's rising tide, his grandson, Li Gaige, broke the shackles of convention with the spirit of “daring to be first.”

- Volume Four: His great-granddaughter, Li Xinmeng, broke through technological barriers with code and brought Chinese standards to the world.

From the first sparks in Yan'an to the unstoppable momentum of China's great rejuvenation, this is an epic of faith and perseverance.
