Red-Tipped Shrubs and Red Apples

—Drawing Inspiration from the Zhaojin Spirit, the Long March Spirit, and the Yan’an Spirit to Travel the New Long March Well

红梢林与红苹果

——感悟照金精神、长征精神、延安精神，走好新的长征路

（一）

It is now the peak season for Yan’an’s red apples to reach the market.

现在正值陕西延安红苹果上市的好时节。

On the red soil of Zhaojin, not far from Yan’an, grow vast stretches of tenacious shrubs with red-tipped branches—witnesses to the red history of China’s revolution.

在离延安不远处的照金这片红色土地上，生长着生命力顽强的成片灌木——红梢林，它是中国革命红色历史的见证。

The red-tipped shrubs and red apples illuminate the principle that “the people’s aspiration for a better life is our goal.”

红梢林与红苹果，照见“人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们的奋斗目标”。

Red is the brightest color of the Communist Party of China and the People’s Republic of China. The red heritage is a source of spiritual strength for Chinese Communists in the new era.

红色是中国共产党、中华人民共和国最鲜亮的底色，红色血脉是新时代中国共产党人的精神力量源泉。

“Reflecting on the past and present and looking to the future, we must vigorously carry forward the great Long March spirit and work together to travel the new Long March well.”

“抚今追昔、展望未来，我们要大力弘扬伟大长征精神，同心协力走好新的长征路。”

“The great Long March spirit fully demonstrates the power of loyalty, truth, justice, and unity” and “will forever be a precious asset and powerful impetus inspiring us to overcome difficulties and forge ahead.”
