Insieme a Jean-Paul Sartre, nel 1955 Simone de Beauvoir viaggiò per sei settimane attraverso la Cina, invitata dal governo cinese. Da quell'esperienza nacque La lunga marcia (1957), un ricco resoconto del grande paese asiatico e dei cambiamenti che il comunismo vi stava portando. Tra visite minuziosamente organizzate e libere passeggiate, conferenze ufficiali e spontanee conversazioni, vestigia del passato e realizzazioni del presente, de Beauvoir fissa sulla pagina un periodo storico di rapida transizione, in cui "è impossibile fermarsi nell'istante".
