Retracing a revolutionary generation's footsteps

Cadres and business leaders are gaining firsthand experience of the harsh lives endured by early members of the CPC, as Cao Yin reports from Jinggangshan, Jiangxi.

Editor's note: Ahead of the Communist Party of China's 19th National Congress, which will start on Oct 18, China Daily is publishing a series of reports focusing on the work of the country's major Party schools, where cadres study the history of the CPC, its ideology, aims and methods of governance. More reports will be published in the days to come.

Han Yan often wears fatigues when she teaches politics at a military college in Anhui province, but last month she donned the uniform of the Red Army, the predecessor of the People's Liberation Army, for the first time.
