The Long March (1934-1935) is regarded as one of the most glorious episodes in the Communist revolutionary history. The ending of the Cultural Revolution led to the leftist value system collapsing. The term "Long March" in the text is a metaphor for the "new Long March" of searching for one’s own identity in the fast changing society.[3]
