CHINA_Red Footprints

Ever since its establishment, the Communist Party of China (CPC) had united and led people of all ethnic groups throughout the country in struggling hard for 28 years to realize national independence, the liberation of the people, and the founding of the People's Republic of China.

An astonishing and magnificent epic in the human development was written on this ancient land of China where the CPC has left their glorious footprints.

Jinggangshan, a mountainous city at the central section of the Luoxiao Mountains in western Jiangxi Province, was the first revolutionary base established in the rural areas.

During the period from the autumn of 1927 through early 1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and other CPC leaders implemented the thought of "armed independent regime of workers and peasants" in the base area, kindling the spark of the Chinese revolution.

The struggle in the revolutionary base explored the correct development path of the Chinese revolution, and Jinggangshan has thus been recognized as the cradle of the Chinese revolution.

CHINA_70th Anniversary of "Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art"

Entire Cover

The year 2012 marks the 70th anniversary of "Talks at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art" (hereinafter referred to as "Talks").

In May 1942, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a forum on literature and art in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province.

At the forum, Mao Zedong made a conclusion speech, which clarified the orientation of "(literature and art) serving the broad masses, particularly workers, peasants and soldiers.

" As an important theoretical document, the "Talks" carried forward the essence of left-wing literature while establishing a new democratic culture.

It creatively solved the problem of popularization and nationalization of literature and art since the May 4th Movement.

Its statements regarding the orientation of "serving the broad masses, particularly workers, peasants and soldiers" and the practical principle "social life is the only source of literature and art" have remained dynamic in theory and instructive in practice.
