Triumph

The bold cursive script that Mao used for The Long March (1935) reinforces his praise for the heroism of his armies, who had had to struggle along a 10,000 km route to reach the Communist sanctuary of Yanan:

Making light ten thousand crags
and torrents
the three armies march on,
each face glowing.
