Long MarchIn Chinese history, the 10,000-km/6,000-mi trek undertaken from 1934 to 1935 by Mao Zedong and his communist forces from southeast to northwest China, under harassment from the Guomindang (nationalist) army; see China: history 1900-49, Guomindang-communist conflict. Some 100,000 communists left Mao's first headquarters in Jiangxi province in October 1934, and only 8,000 lasted the journey to arrive about a year later in Shanxi, which became their new base. The march cemented Mao Zedong's control of the movement. |

| So that night Tarzan asked Waziri about it, and Waziri, who was now an old man, said that it was a long march, but that the way was not difficult to follow. On the long march I schooled them in their duties, and as fast as one learned I sent him among the others as a teacher. Up to this time the excitement had kept us both up; but now the tiresome monotony of the long march across the sun-baked plain brought on all the agonies consequent to a long-denied sleep. |
