(h/t Wei). Notes from the video:
The video was edited from a Chinese masterpiece, the Long March Song Cycle (长征组歌) which was made in Feb 1976.
The Long March was a massive military retreat undertaken by the Red Army of the Chinese Communist Party, escaped in a circling retreat to the west and north, which reportedly traversed some 12,500 kilometers (8,000 miles) over 370 days.
Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Long March has been glorified as an example of the Communist Party's strength and resilience.
The Long March Song Cycle was first performed in 1966.
