LANZHOU, China, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During the Gansu leg of the "Together
on the Long March" CICG International Communication Project, Liang Xiaoyuan, son
of founding lieutenant general Liang Xingchu, visited the historic Long March sites
in Hadapu and recalled a remarkable episode involving his father.

The Newspaper That Helped Shape the Course of the Long March

In Hadapu, Liang Xingchu was assigned by Mao Zedong to search for "spiritual nourishment"—
newspapers and other sources of information. A copy of Ta Kung Pao obtained during
the mission contained reports about the situation in northern Shaanxi, providing
the Central Red Army with important information as it determined where to advance
next.

That newspaper helped turn Hadapu, a small town in northwest China, into a key historical
landmark on the road toward the Long March’s eventual destination.
