President Xi Jinping has described the spirit of the Long March as “a vivid reflection of the revolutionary character of the members of the Communist Party of China”, thereby summing up the nation’s resilience.

National education for Hong Kong youth currently depends on classroom instruction. Although textbooks deliver fundamental knowledge, students’ comprehension might remain fragmented and abstract. They might encounter statements such as “the Red Army fears not the trials of the Long March” and learn about key events, yet they might not understand the sacrifice and perseverance involved.

Immersive study tours can bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. By visiting sites of revolutionary significance and engaging with local communities, students can cultivate a more profound understanding of the Long March and its associated values.
