Red Army history reflects success through hardship

Wang Fang stands on a square in Yaoluoping village of East China's Anhui province, telling visitors the stories of her forefathers' generations.

Behind her is a memorial hall for the 28th Corp of the Chinese Red Army, which was headquartered in the village in the 1930s. Several kilometers away is a mountain, whose shape is like a harrier, a species of eagle, half-extending its wings.

The village of Yaoluoping, which literally means 'harrier lands on the ground', is named after the specially shaped mountain.
