　　"This is a map of China composed of 80 pairs of straw shoes. The small red five stars represent Yudu, Jiangxi, and the red five stars represent the capital Beijing." In the Central Red Army Long March Departure Memorial Hall, a map made of straw shoes is very eye-catching. .

According to Xiao Tingting, an instructor at the Long March Departure Memorial Hall of the Central Red Army, the Central Red Army was wearing straw sandals like this, and walked 25,000 miles, breaking out of a new situation in the Chinese revolution.

　　In the memorial hall, a yellowed and worn sheepskin jacket also attracted a group of students wearing red army uniforms to stop and watch.

　　"This is very different from the clothes we wear now. I have never seen it before. It turns out that the materials that seem to be ordinary in our lives are very precious back then. The uncles and aunts of the Red Army who participated in the Long March are really amazing." Wu Zhengpeng, who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, followed the school to participate in research activities in the memorial hall.

He said that seeing the former Red Army supplies was very shocking and rewarding.

　　In the memorial hall, there is also a set of scenes of the Red Army crossing the river restored later, showing the military and civilian fish and water conditions of the year.

　　"Back then, when the Central Red Army crossed the Du River, the river was more than 600 meters wide and there were no bridges on the river. Therefore, the large troops had to rely on erecting pontoon bridges to cross the river." Xiao Tingting pointed to the restored scene and said that the people along the river would take it. The family’s fishing boats were all donated, and more than 800 large and small boats were brought together. Some were used to erect pontoons, and some were used as ferry boats.

　　After the Red Army crossed the river, the pontoons had to be demolished before 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day, and the bridges had to be lined up in sequence, and the bridges had to be rebuilt after 5 o'clock in the evening.

According to statistics, a total of 5 pontoon bridges were erected on the 60 Huali river section in Yudu County, and bridges were erected and dismantled 15 times.

　　"Because a lot of plates are needed to erect the pontoon bridge, the people on both sides of the river in Yudu consciously donated all the materials available at home." Xiao Tingting continued to explain. When Zhou Enlai learned of this, he said with deep emotion: " The people in Yudu are so nice, and the people in the Soviet area are so close!"

　　"The red tourism in the museum has gradually become popular in recent years, and tourists from all over the country have come in. Since March, we have carried out more than 1,700 lectures, and many of them cannot be reserved for explanations." According to Xiao Tingting, since this year, the museum has The number of visitors reached approximately 310,000, and at the highest time of the day, the museum received more than 50 teams.
