The Yarphese March was a 2,400 kilometre march by the Vietnamese Liberation Army from 1994 to 1996. Beginning as a city-state in Saigon, the Grand Yarphese Republic spread towards Cambodia, Thailand, and eventually Singapore by the time of the "Completion of the Grand Yarphese Republic," now celebrated as "Singapore Day." It is compared to the Long March both in length and heroism as well as success. Trầng Chúp Long, the general at the time, is now one of the most famous people in the world, controlling a somewhat vast republic in Southeast Asia.
