【赓续长征精神 奋进复兴征程】河南：传承红色基因 绘就振兴新画卷

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): The 25th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army set out on the Long March from Henan and was the first to reach northern Shaanxi, creating conditions for the CPC Central Committee to establish the headquarters of the Chinese revolution in the northwest. Over more than 90 years, revolutionary traditions have been passed down from generation to generation across the Central Plains, opening new paths through practical work and writing a contemporary chapter of high-quality development in the old revolutionary base areas.

In November 1934, more than 2,980 officers and soldiers of the 25th Red Army set out from Hejiachong in Luoshan, Henan, carrying the banner of the Second Advance Detachment Marching North to Resist Japanese Aggression. From the Dabie Mountains to the Funiu Mountains, the Red Army fought numerous battles, including the Battle of Dushu Town, the forced crossing of the Li River and the Muzhaling ambush. Finally, it broke through the encirclement from Lushi in Sanmenxia and advanced into Shaanxi. Unafraid of powerful enemies and fighting bloody battles, this young force became the first Long March contingent to reach northern Shaanxi.

Carrying forward the great spirit of the Long March, Henan is drawing on its own characteristics to accelerate development in the old revolutionary base areas. Today, in Luoshan County deep in the Dabie Mountains, the Dongzhai Reserve has become an important national base for the conservation and breeding of crested ibises, with many thousands of rare birds living there. Lushi County in Sanmenxia, in the Funiu mountain region, has introduced a factory-based edible mushroom production project, turning white beech mushrooms into an income-generating industry for rural revitalization.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Henan will continue to expand and upgrade modern agricultural industrial chains and clusters, bringing its comprehensive grain production capacity to 140 billion jin. At the same time, it will accelerate the development of a modern industrial system with advanced manufacturing as its backbone, striving to bring manufacturing's share to around 28% and the share of value added from strategic emerging industries in industrial enterprises above the designated size to 30%.
