Mao Zedong’s poem alludes to the Red Army’s advance on Huichang, Jiangxi Province, where it established a southern revolutionary base in 1929. A Jiangxi native, Fu expressed his intimate association with the place as a backdrop for revolution. Luxuriant woods and all-embracing mountains provide a bucolic setting for the antlike line of soldiers.
