"Fight well. Win more battles. Mom will wait for you to come home."

Actress Li Fang plays "Sao Fu," a mother who sends her two sons to join the Red Army. Though she had little formal education, she deeply loved her country and urged her children to fight for a better future. Fu Sao's sons never came home. Neither did Li Fang's grandfather, a Red Army soldier. More than 90 years ago, thousands of Red Army soldiers crossed the Yudu River and set out on the Long March. Today, at the very place remembered as the "First Crossing of the Long March," Li Fang brings Fu Sao's story back to life. Through one mother's farewell, a chapter of history comes alive —reminding us of the courage, sacrifice, and hope carried by countless ordinary people on that extraordinary journey.
