The TV series recreates the tragic scenes and historical significance of the Red Army's Long March with epic spirit. In the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggle, Bo Gu and Li De implemented Wang Ming's wrong left-leaning line, which led to the Red Army's retreat. In order to preserve its strength, it chose the long and arduous Long March. Mao Zedong's decision was not used at first until the Zunyi Conference, which established his leadership position. During the Long March, Mao Zedong (played by Tang Guoqiang) and the main leaders of the party led the Red Army to cross the Chishui River four times, the Wujiang River to the south, and the Jinsha River cleverly. After experiencing a series of revolutionary moments of life and death, they finally achieved a meeting.
