(1) I had two previous postings:
(a) Long March, dated May 17, 2010.

(b) 中共红军“两万五千里.” May 31, 2010.

(2) Today I add more. Newest first. I also wish to say that Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA, a federal law in US though states have their own, too
) is a powerful weapon against corruption, through transparency. See

Note:
(a) The caption of the first photo stated 在池边洗菜的农民. It is hard to
believe that Chinese still do this.
(b) 泸州市

(四川省)
(b) 若尔盖县

My comment:
(a) 韶山市
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E9%9F%B6%E5%B1%B1%E5%B8%82
(in 湖南省湘潭市; 毛泽东的家乡)
You may wonder why I have a notation for this. Well, I did not know. In my
generation, Taiwanese might know Chairman Mao was from 湘潭市, but few knew
further: 韶山市.
(b) The report quoted a local as saying, “传说毛主席是鳖精变的,毛主席爱洗
澡嘛." Mao's physician Li Zhisui 李志绥 said the opposite was true, in his
1994 book The Private Life of Chairman Mao: The Memoirs of Mao's Personal
Physician.

My comment:
(a) 宝塔山

(b) The reporter said, "我曾在'文革'大串连期间来过延安." I had looked at her
photo and thought she was 20- or 30-years-old.

Note:
(a) 吴起县
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%90%B4%E8%B5%B7%E5%8E%BF
(吴起县是中国陕西省延安市所辖的一个县; 1935年10月19日,中央红军到达吴起镇与
陕北红军胜利会师,从此结束了举世闻名的二万五千里长征,后改为吳旗。2005年10月
19日當紅軍勝利會師七十周年之際,更名为吳起縣)
(b) 王家坪 是中央军委八路军总部 (1937-1947), whereas 杨家岭 was homes to
communist leadership. Both are located at 延安.
(c) 刘志丹
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%88%98%E5%BF%97%E4%B8%B9
(后为纪念刘志丹,中共中央和陕甘宁边区政府将保安县改名为志丹县)
