Teachers and students at Yan'an University spent eight years proofreading character by character to build a digital research platform for revolutionary literature from the Yan'an period.

Translated paragraph context
The responsibility to safeguard cultural traditions and educate people continues to gain fresh vitality at Yan'an University. The university holds more than 40,000 volumes of printed revolutionary literature. To bring these precious revolutionary historical materials to life, teachers and students spent eight years proofreading them word by word and built a digital research platform for revolutionary literature from the Yan'an period, making this revolutionary cultural heritage accessible for consultation, study, and transmission. The original aspiration of self-reliance and service to the people has also become a conscious commitment to action for generations of students. More than 70% of the university's graduates put down roots in western China, fulfilling the mission of their youth.

In 1947, as the CPC Central Committee moved through northern Shaanxi during the war, Yan'an University relocated with it, transporting books on pack animals along the way.

Translated paragraph context
The spirit of the Long March has been passed down continuously, and efforts to safeguard revolutionary cultural traditions never ceased during the years of campaigning. In 1941, the Communist Party of China founded Yan'an University. In 1947, the CPC Central Committee moved its operations across northern Shaanxi, and the university relocated along with it. Wherever the group went, its books were carried there on pack animals—hence the 'library on horseback.'
