"I have returned to Yan'an in my dreams many times, with my arms around the Pagoda Mountain." Yan'an is the holy land of the Chinese revolution. From 1935 to 1948, this red land became the seat of the CPC Central Committee. During these turbulent years, the CPC witnessed the growth of the CPC from small to large, from weak to strong, leading the Chinese revolution from low tide to high tide, from victory to new victory, and nurturing the Yan'an spirit with the main contents of firm and correct political direction, the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and the entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and hard work. The Yan'an spirit has nurtured generations of Chinese Communists and is a precious spiritual wealth of our Party.

Recently, red tourism in Yan'an, Shaanxi has continued to heat up, with tourists from all over the country visiting Pagoda Mountain, Yangjialing Revolutionary Site, Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall and other places to learn about the revolutionary history and appreciate the Yan'an spirit.

In May 1948, Comrade Mao Zedong led the CPC Central Committee and the Chinese People's Liberation Army to move to Xibaipo, making this ordinary mountain village "the last rural command post for the liberation of all of China" and the command center for the Chinese Communist Party to lead the people of the country and the People's Liberation Army to fight the strategic decisive battle with the Kuomintang and create a new China. In this magnificent revolutionary practice, the Xibaipo spirit with "two musts" as the core was nurtured and formed, the public servant spirit for the people and relying on the people, the enterprising spirit of daring to fight and dare to win, the democratic spirit of political consultation, unity and cooperation, the spirit of setting rules and strict disciplines, centralized and unified, and the spirit of catching up with the exam with modesty, prudence and hard work.
