(1) Re <<Cultural Revolution>> happened, per all nations take turns in going mad. Best to get it out of the way fastest possible.

(2) Re <<Long March>> for the rocket, a historically symbolic name per LaoZi, a contemporary of KongZi (Confucius), en.wikipedia.org

Arguably the Long March as in the trek shortened the Darkest Interregnum of China, per Foundation meme of Isaac Asimov

The March was necessitated by the KMT advised by the Nazis of Germany, and armed by the USA, did encirclement of Communist base camp even as the Militarist Japan already started invasion and extermination campaign in China. The Communists finally won, and all foreign invaders and enablers / facilitators thrown out.

History is invariably complicated.



"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" ( Chinese: ????,????; pinyin: Qianli zhi xíng, shiyú zú xià; lit. 'A journey of a thousand Chinese miles ( li) starts beneath one's feet') is a common saying that originated from a Chinese proverb. The quotation is from Chapter 64 of the Dao De Jing ascribed to Laozi, [1] although it is also erroneously ascribed to his contemporary, Confucius. [2] This saying teaches that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
