CultureThe Long March memory: Straw sandals and Xiao Nandou’s family craft
At 82, Xiao Nandou continues to weave straw sandals by hand, a skill his father taught him at 13. His grandfather was a Red Army soldier who began the Long March from Yudu. Though the craft faded from daily life after the early 1980s, each pair now preserves his family’s history and the memory of the journey.
