"Nothing can stop us, with rivers and mountains in our path." In a Long March poem, rivers and mountains represent the natural challenges faced along the journey. In Guizhou, waterfalls carve through rock, revealing the enduring force of water.

The Long March also brought the Red Army into contact with the local Bouyei communities, leaving behind stories of connection and trust. Today, Bouyei artisans continue a traditional form of wax-resistant dyeing, applying wax to cloth before dyeing it indigo blue to reveal intricate patterns. Water leaves its mark on the mountains, and generations of artisans leave theirs on cloth – keeping a distinctive cultural tradition alive.
