As the ninetieth anniversary of the Long March approaches, Chinese authorities are actively engaged in the conservation of significant historical locations. The Xiangjiang River area in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which witnessed one of the most intense and costly conflicts during the campaign, serves as a focal point for these efforts. Beyond their role in commemorating the soldiers who perished during the march, these memorial sites are being utilized to stimulate local economic growth. By integrating historical preservation with regional development, officials aim to support the livelihoods of nearby residents while ensuring the legacy of the Long March remains accessible to the public. These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to honoring national history through the maintenance of physical landmarks while simultaneously fostering sustainable community development in rural areas.
