The journey of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was marked by many important things.

The places of these things now also become “red revolutionary bases (革命圣地)”. The “red spirit” has a deep 【小题1】 on lots of Chinese people, both old and young.

For example, the CPC’s birthplace of Jiaxing in Zhejiang is 【小题2】 popular symbol of courage and pioneering (先锋) spirit. Jinggangshan in Jiangxi is known 【小题3】 the “cradle (摇篮) of the Chinese revolution”. Mao Zedong started the first revolutionary base there.

Other 【小题4】 such as Yan’an in Shaanxi and Linyi in Shandong are also “old revolutionary bases”. The CPC worked together with people to 【小题5】 against wars. A hundred years have passed, 【小题6】 these “revolutionary bases” have changed greatly. Some of them are no longer 【小题7】 villages, and others become popular tourist areas. There are many young people having grown up. They are 【小题8】 their best to work for their hometowns in many ways.

How are the young people from these places influenced by “red spirit”? How do they carry out the spirit in 【小题9】 daily lives? To answer these questions, TEENS has interviewed several local young people. “Their stories showed that the ‘red spirit’ would never be out of time. It will keep 【小题10】 us to work hard, feel thankful and serve others,” Wang Jie, a young man said.
