| Additional information |
The Long March of 1934–35 covered roughly 9,000 kilometers as Communist forces under Mao Zedong retreated from Nationalist encirclement, losing the vast majority of their number to combat, cold, and starvation along the route. By the time they reached Yan'an, perhaps 8,000 of an original 80,000–100,000 soldiers survived. The event became the founding myth of the People's Republic, and the 60th anniversary fell at a moment when the government was actively reasserting its revolutionary credentials amid rapid economic liberalization.
KM#951 is part of a larger commemorative program China issued that year across multiple denominations and compositions.
