Full coverage: 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Red Army's Long March

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, and a concert in commemoration is set to be held at the National Centre for the Performing Arts here in Beijing.

The concert will trace back to the time of the Long March, bringing the audience a historic retrospection with symphony music. The songs were selected to reflect the Long March stories that took place 80 years ago.

That's when the Chinese Red Army claimed victory over the Kuomingtang army with a 12,500-kilometer maneuver from 1934 to 1936.

It was a move that prevented them from being encircled by their opposition. The concert will take place at the NCPA on September 17 and 18.
