In the late 1930s, after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China settled in northern Shaanxi and stationed in Yan'an, Yan'an became the base camp of the Chinese revolution. In the historical process of the Chinese revolution, especially in the context of the Chinese nation's rise to resist Japanese imperialist aggression, Yan'an in 1938 was extraordinary. This book is based on the historical background of the Chinese revolution, especially the thirteen years of the Party Central Committee in Yan'an. It describes the arduous Anti-Japanese War led by the Communist Party and achieved the great victory of the National Liberation War; it created a model base of new democracy and laid a solid foundation for the establishment of New China; in 1938, a series of founding and commemorative meetings were held in Yan'an. The conference welcomes musician Xian Xinghai, photographer Wu Yinxian, patriotic democrat Liang Shuming, international communist fighter Bethune, US Marine Corps officer Carlson and other important events, figures and typical scenes of social and cultural life. Relying on authoritative treatises and historical documents, it objectively displays the real Yan'an in 1938 with pictures and texts. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized many times that external publicity work must tell China's story well, spread China's voice well, present a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China to the world, and improve the country's cultural soft power and Chinese cultural influence. Guided by General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches, this book integrates ideological, theoretical and popular themes. It uses elegant and popular language and a fresh and objective realistic style to provide a panoramic display of Yan'an in 1938, allowing readers at home and abroad to wander in the historical corridors of Yan'an in 1938 and gain insights and enlightenment in dialogue with the living history.
