Yan'an, the Red Capital

Yan'an, a desolate county on the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi Province, was the seat of the CPC Central Committee and the government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Area from 1937 to 1947. During this period the CPC led the eight-year war against Japanese invaders. It also conducted the Rectification Movement and achieved self-reliance by developing agriculture, industry and commerce. This was the decade the CPC put forward the slogan “establishing a new China,” which it later made a reality.
