Translated paragraph context
Xi Jinping pointed out that, from October 1934 to October 1936, our Party led the Red Army's First, Second and Fourth Front Armies and its 25th Army on the great Long March, which shook the world and left an illustrious mark on history. The Red Army's Long March traversed more than 10 provinces and covered 25,000 li, thwarting pursuit, encirclement, interception and blockade by more than a million enemy troops. It proclaimed the complete failure of the Kuomintang reactionaries' plot to eliminate the Communist Party of China and the Red Army, victoriously accomplished the strategic relocation northward to resist Japanese aggression, and successfully opened a new chapter in the Chinese revolution. This earth-shaking revolutionary feat was of great significance in the history of our Party, country and military, and profoundly influenced the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This heroic epic of extraordinary grandeur is forever inscribed on the monument to the Chinese revolution and forever remembered in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.

In the autumn of 2020, Xi Jinping visited Hunan and spoke about the bonds between the military and civilians at the "Warmth of Half a Quilt" exhibition hall.

Translated paragraph context
The thematic exhibition “The Great Expedition,” currently open at the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, has drawn a surge of visits by military personnel, many from units with heroic Long March histories. Their guide is Zhu Shuhua, great-granddaughter of Xu Jiexiu, the woman at the center of the Long March story of half a quilt. In November 1934, as the Red Army passed through Shazhou Yao Village in Hunan during the Long March, three female Red Army soldiers stayed at Xu Jiexiu's home. Seeing the elderly woman's difficult circumstances, they cut their only quilt in half before leaving and gave her one half. In the autumn of 2020, during an inspection tour of Hunan, President Xi said with deep feeling at the “Warmth of Half a Quilt” exhibition hall: “Our army is the people's army. The bond between us Communists and ordinary people is the bond of sharing a quilt.”

At the Bishkek summit, President Xi Jinping pointed out that, standing at a crossroads concerning humanity's future and destiny, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization should shoulder its historical responsibilities and take the initiative in steering the course of history. This requires us both to better build consensus at the level of the “Way”—our outlook, ideas and thinking—with the insight to perceive major trends, a global perspective and the perseverance to act steadfastly for long-term progress, and to take more effective action at the level of “technique”—operations and execution. We must improve the organization's operational effectiveness, strengthen cooperation projects with concrete work, set examples that drive further progress, promote higher-quality SCO development, put into practice the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping, and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
