| | Volunteers ready for 'Long March' |
 | | The team of medical volunteers will travel in six vehicles and spend two or three days at each of 46 villages in 24 towns of 10 provinces and regions between October and January. |
 | | "Volunteers will make diagnosis for free, give away common medicine, give public lectures, help train local doctors and nurses, and take medicine and medical equipment to grass-roots level clinics," said Guo Ping, secretary-general of the trip's organizing committee, during a press conference yesterday in Beijing. |
 | | This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Long March, a 10,000-kilometre trek completed by the Red Army, which resulted in a relocation of the Communist Party's revolutionary base from southeast to northwest. |
