... that communist propagandist Jian Xianfo gave birth to her son in an earthwork during the Long March? Source: "Women in the Second and Fourth Front Armies where discipline was less strict were able to bring their babies on the Long March and to keep those born along the way. Chen Zongying and Jian Xianfo, two of the Second Front women interviewees, gave birth in the Sichuan grasslands ... she helped me off the horse, we saw a dirt fortification and she persuaded me to go there. We made a pile of bundles ... after the baby was born there was a violent storm" from: Spakowski, Nicola; Milwertz, Cecilia Nathansen (2006). Women and Gender in Chinese Studies. LIT Verlag Münster. pp. 23–25. ISBN 978-3-8258-9304-0.

Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 10:02, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I verified that both hooks are sourced in the article and are interesting hooks and am fine with using either one. Cunard (talk) 10:02, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
