China Post issued a set of six commemorative stamps entitled The 90th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army’s Long March on October 22. These six stamps feature the following themes: the departure of the Red Army, the bloody Battle of the Xiangjiang River, the landmark Zunyi Meeting, the battle at Lazikou Pass, the victorious reunion of Red Army forces and carrying forward the great Long March spirit.

The Long March is a world-shaking revolutionary feat in human history, a magnificent epic written by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, and a towering monument in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

With a realistic oil painting style, the first five stamps in this set recreated the major historical moments along the Long March. The stamps were printed with high-precision offset printing technology, making the images delicate and vivid. In this way, they reproduced the key events and major battles in the Red Army’s Long March, powerfully highlighting the spiritual core and contemporary meaning of “carrying forward the spirit of Long March and progressing along the long march of the new era.”

This set of stamps was designed by Xia Jingqiu and edited by Li Jinwei.
