Red Star Over China, also known as Red Star over China, is an immortal masterpiece of the famous American journalist edgar snow.
Edgar Snow (Edgar Snow,1905.7.11-1972.2.15) is a famous American journalist. He came to China on 1928, and worked as a reporter and correspondent of several European and American newspapers in China. 1April, 933 to1June, 935, Si Nuo was also a lecturer in the journalism department of yenching university, Beiping. 1June, 936, Si Nuo visited the Shensi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and wrote a lot of communication reports, becoming the first western journalist to cover the Red Zone.
Edgar snow, the author of the extended information Red Star Shines on China (formerly known as Red Star over China), was born in Kansas City, Missouri, USA on 1905, the youngest of three children. His father opened a small printing factory and his family lived a well-off life.
His father asked him to start his career in printing. But he embarked on a completely different road from his father and became a world-famous journalist. Edgar snow came to China on 1928, and worked as a reporter and correspondent for several newspapers in Europe and America.
From June 1936 to October 10, the author made a field trip to the revolutionary base area in northwest China, and completed the writing of Red Star over China based on the first-hand materials obtained during the trip. As a western journalist, Si Nuo made an objective evaluation of the China * * * production party and the China revolution, and made a fair report to the whole world.
In The Red Star Shines on China, Si Nuo explores the background of the China Revolution and the reasons for its development. He judged that due to the propaganda and concrete actions of China's * * * production party, the poor and the oppressed have new ideas about the country, society and individuals and new beliefs that must be acted upon.
Thanks to this kind of ideological arm, a group of young people were able to carry out mass struggle against the rule of the Kuomintang for ten years. He expressed admiration for the Long March, asserted that it was actually a strategic retreat, and praised it as a heroic epic and an unparalleled expedition in modern history.
Si Nuo declared to the world with undoubted facts: China Productive Party and its revolutionary cause are like a shining red star, shining not only in the northwest of China, but also in China and the whole world.
Another charm of The Red Star Shines on China is that it depicts the indomitable and heroic great struggle of the China * * * producers and the Red Army soldiers, as well as the great and ordinary spiritual outlook of their leaders.
He interviewed Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Peng Dehuai, He Long and other leaders of China's * * * production party and Red Army generals face to face, and forged a shallow or deep friendship. The most important of these is undoubtedly Mao Zedong.
Si Nuo accurately grasped the spiritual bond between Mao Zedong and China people, who are mainly farmers. No one knows them better than Mao Zedong, and is better at synthesizing, expressing and understanding their wishes. This will profoundly restrict the process of China's modernization in the next few decades, including its success and twists and turns.
