Rednet (Tongdao County): On the morning of October 20, a commemorating convention was held for the 80 Anniversary of the Victory of Red Army's Long March in Dong Autonomous County of Tongdao in which the turning point of the Long March's direction was made (file: a meeting at Tongdao, close to the border of Hunan and Guizhou, was convened to discuss the direction of the Red Army on December 12, 1934. Zhou endorsed Mao's proposal, encouraging other leaders to overrule the objections of Bo and Braun. Another dispute of the direction of the Red Army occurred soon after, once the Red Army reached Liping, in the mountains of southeast Guizhou. Braun believed that they should travel to eastern Guizhou, but Mao wanted to go to western Guizhou, where he expected KMT forces to be lighter and which borders Sichuan, and to establish a base area there. In a meeting to decide the army's direction, Zhou sided with Mao, making Braun "fly into a rage because he was overruled in the debate." At the meeting it was decided that the Red Army would travel towards Zunyi, in western Guizhou.) Secretary of the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee made a speech in the ceremony. Xu Dazhe, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee and acting Governor, hosted the convention. Li Weiwei, Chairman of CPPCC, attended the convention.
