This year marks the 90th anniversary of the start of the Central Red Army's Long March. In 1934, when passing through Shazhou Village, Hunan Province, three women soldiers of the Red Army sought shelter in the home of an elderly villager named Xu Jiexiu. Upon their departure, they cut their only quilt in two, leaving half with Xu. In November 2017, an exhibition hall, located in Shazhou, opened to the public to commemorate the "halved quilt" story.
Zhu Shuhua is the great-granddaughter of Xu. In 2018, she applied to become a docent at the exhibition hall. "As a descendant of the 'halved quilt' story, I am responsible for — and I am determined to — ensuring more people know about our revolutionary stories, and promoting the revolutionary culture and heritage," said Zhu.
