Yan An in Yan'an: Rediscovering the spirit of Nanniwan

"Who wouldn't want a tractor of their own?" This unexpected remark from China Daily reporter Yan An may leave you wondering.

As the 90th anniversary of the Long March (1934-36) is marked this year, Yan An returns to Yan'an, the final destination of the Long March and a city whose name shares the pronunciation of her own, to explore how the spirit of the Long March continues to inspire young people today.

This time, she revisits Nanniwan, once hailed as the "Jiangnan of northern Shaanxi". Today, Nanniwan is not only taking on a new look but is also being transformed by a new generation of farmers.

Meet Ma Qiang, a Party member born in the 1990s who returned to his hometown to start an agricultural business. With modern farming machinery, he helps local villagers work more efficiently, boost agricultural output and increase their incomes through the farmers' cooperative.

Join Yan An in the cradle of the Chinese revolution and discover how modernization is bringing new life to this historic land.
