Pourquoi c'est important
The Long March is a pivotal event in Communist Party history, with the party promoting 'red tourism' to commemorate such events.
Such mistakes are especially embarrassing given the high importance the authorities attach to Communist Party history and come amid an ongoing push to promote “red tourism” or revolutionary-themed attractions. The mistake by Zhejiang Provincial Museum in Hangzhou was one of a number of similar blunders highlighted by visitors in recent weeks, prompting a flurry of public criticism and even warnings that such mistakes could spread misinformation. According to Chinese media reports, multiple errors were spotted at an exhibition of Long March-themed woodcuts in the museum. The Long March, which started in 1934, saw Communist forces retreating from the advancing Nationalist forces, travelling around 10,000km (6,000 miles) over two years before the survivors established a new headquarters in Yanan in a remote part of Shaanxi province.
