Item reference
This hat is the vintage style of the Red Army wear during the period of BC 1934 - 1935.Red Army Long March was thought to be the greatest strategic shift in China revolution history.   The Long March (October 1934 – October 1935) was a military retreat undertaken by the Red Army of the Communist Party of China, the forerunner of the People's Liberation Army, to evade the pursuit of the Kuomintang (KMT or Chinese Nationalist Party) army. There was not one Long March, but a series of marches, as various Communist armies in the south escaped to the north and west. The best known is the march from Jiangxi province which began in October 1934. The First Front Army of the Chinese Soviet Republic, led by an inexperienced military commission, was on the brink of annihilation by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops in their stronghold in Jiangxi province. The Communists, under the eventual command of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, escaped in a circling retreat to the west and north, which reportedly traversed over 9,000 kilometers (6,000 miles) over 370 days.The route passed through some of the most difficult terrain of western China by traveling west, then north, to Shaanxi.  9,000 KM transfer to Chinese old measurement is over 18,000 Chinese mile. In that period, there is no truck,car,train and plain for the army, only by feet go through the mountain and river with faith, and also face to enemies death threat every day. So there still a saying to spirit people in China today - "Do you think your life bitter? To think about the Red Army Long March ."   - Partially reference to Wikipedia .
