'''Yenan''' ([[Pinyin]]: Yan'an) is a small city in [[Shaanxi]] province, north-west [[China]]. From 1936 to 1948 it was the headquarters of the [[Chinese Communist Party]], following the CCP's flight from its bases in southern and central China during the [[Long March]] of 1934-35. Following its conquest of China during the [[Chinese Civil War]], the country's communist leaders have at times of crisis called upon the Chinese people to display the 'Yan'an spirit' - that is, one of sacrifice and endurance. | '''Yenan''' ([[Pinyin]]: Yan'an) is a small city in [[Shaanxi]] province, north-west [[China]].
