File photo provided by a memorial hall marking the departure of the Long March by the Central Red Army shows a group photo of the Red Army veterans in Yudu, east China's Jiangxi Province, in 1960. Yudu is the starting point of the Long March, a military maneuver carried out by the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army from 1934 to 1936. China has launched an activity that will take journalists to retrace the route of the Long March. The activity is aimed at paying tribute to the revolutionary martyrs and passing on the traditions of revolution, as the country celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China this year.
