Creation background

1On June 7th, 935, the poet Mao Zedong led all the soldiers to climb Liupan Mountain, the last main peak of the Long March. Facing the high sky and white clouds in the west, he is clear in autumn, and then he stares at the geese flying south. Chairman Mao felt deeply in his chest and looked forward to the new expedition that was about to begin.

The poet is relaxed and open-minded here. Among several poems written by the poet about the theme of the Long March, this one is a good mood bubbling from the heart, without any sadness. As the author himself said, the mood at this time suddenly became clear, "A bright future has come to another village."
