Ruijin (Chinese: 瑞金, pinyin: Ruìjīn) is a county-level city of Ganzhou in the mountains bordering Fujian Province in south-eastern Jiangxi.
The name derives from the ancient God, Rui Jin[1]. It is most famous as one of the earliest centers of Chinese communist activity. After being forced out of Jinggangshan in the late 1920s by the Guomindang, the Communists fled here, taking advantage of Ruijin's relative isolation in the rugged mountains along Jiangxi's border with Fujian. In 1931, under Mao Zedong's leadership, the Chinese Soviet Republic was established here. By 1934, they had again been surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek's forces. It is from here that the famed "Long March" began.
Ruijin is a popular tourist destination for both its natural scenery and its "Red" heritage. It is a pilgrimage for surviving Maoists from China and around the globe.
