Home of Revolution: Chinese family works to improve a cave home in hills outside Yenan. After its Long March in 1935, the Communist army set up headquarters here. Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai lived in the caves with the rest of the army. Yenan is being turned into a shrine to Chairman Mao, and the Yan An pagoda, in background, has become a symbol of the revolution
