Xi Jinping's speech on the 90th anniversary of the Long March victory published as a booklet

26 October 2026

A ceremony in Beijing marked ninety years since the Long March ended in victory, and President Xi Jinping spoke at it. The force that made that march was the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. His speech has now come out as a booklet from the People's Publishing House, on sale through Xinhua Bookstore outlets around the country. The official wording is worth noting: what is commemorated is the victory, so the anniversary falls at the end of the march and not at its start. A ceremony in the capital followed by an official booklet is the settled pattern in China, and the text then serves as study material for party members. The People's Publishing House is the state publisher for party and government texts, and Xinhua Bookstore is the state chain that sells them.
