Original: China’s youth draw upon Long March spirit to navigate modern uncertainties
Young people in China are increasingly invoking the legacy of the Long March, the Communist Party's famed 1930s military retreat, as they face economic pressures, a tough job market and an uncertain future. State and mainstream media have highlighted this turn to revolutionary history, framing the resilience and endurance associated with the Long March as a source of inspiration for a generation navigating difficult times.
Why now: Rising youth unemployment and economic anxiety in China are prompting renewed interest in revolutionary-era ideals of perseverance.
