The Long March of the Chinese Communist Party: a metaphor for disproportionate effort

The Long March of the Chinese Communist Party: a metaphor for disproportionate effort - 2023.
40
The Long March of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from 1934 to 1935 created a myth or hope for communism, in which the discipline of the army and the coercion of the CCP became structured as a symbolic process. It became a myth that owes its success to its use by the media, its avoidance of combat, and its cost in human lives. Imbued with the force of imagination, the Long March remains in both Chinese and human history in general as the metaphor for disproportionate effort. That this metaphor continues to be used today is proof that it has become sedimented into our collective imagination.
