The Museum of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing opened two major themed exhibitions commemorating the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March on Tuesday.
The Long March, an epic military trek, lasted from 1934 to 1936, during which the CPC-led Red Army soldiers braved raging rivers, snow-covered mountains and treacherous grasslands, with some marching as far as 12,500 kilometers. The arduous journey helped lay the foundation for the eventual victory of the Chinese revolution.
The first exhibition displays more than 230 precious archival documents related to the Long March, primarily from the Central Archives' collection. Some of these materials are being shown to the public for the first time.
The second exhibition focuses on the Red Army's trek across snow-covered mountains and treacherous grasslands. It features 273 exhibits, including cultural relics.
Both exhibitions will be open to the public for free until the end of this year.

Both the Israeli and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sides confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the UAE and met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
In a post on social media platform X, the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel said on Monday that Netanyahu and his wife visited the United Arab Emirates on Sunday at the invitation of the UAE president.
"The visit focused on strengthening relations between the two countries and on regional challenges. The Prime Minister was accompanied by the head of the National Security Council, the head of the Mossad, the military secretary and the foreign policy adviser," said the post.
The UAE's state-run Emirates News Agency said on Monday that the two leaders discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen ties, without providing further details.
Citing officials familiar with the meeting, Israeli state-owned Kan TV News reported that Netanyahu had asked the UAE president to publicly deny reports that he had warned the Israeli prime minister before Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 surprise attack that the group was planning a major operation.
Netanyahu has previously denied receiving such a warning.
In a separate statement, his office denied the report as "fake news," claiming that the visit "focused exclusively on strengthening relations between the two countries and on regional challenges."
Netanyahu traveled to the UAE on a private plane and spent the day there, Kan TV News said.
