We know that the highest honor a foreigner can get in China is probably “an old friend of the Chinese people”.
And today, the author of this book, Edgar Snow, is one of them.
It is not too difficult to understand this character. It is roughly equivalent to a young man in our country. When he was in his early 20s, he went to work as a reporter in a poor and backward country, troubled by internal and external troubles, and war-torn. He worked for 14 years. In addition, I worked as a university lecturer for 2 years and met many celebrities in this country.
At the time of domestic and foreign troubles and internal factional disputes, he took the risk of bullets to break through the blockade of the diehards, went to the base of the progressives for interviews, communicated in-depth with the leaders of the progressives and civilians, and presented the world for the first time. The situation and mental outlook of the progressives under the suppression and blockade of the die-hards for many years.
Later, the country suffered a war of foreign aggression. He actively participated in the country’s war of resistance and liberation, and wrote a large number of progressive books, revealing the true image of progressives to the world.
After the victory and liberation, he revisited his homeland several times and was widely warmly welcomed. When he died, some of his ashes were even scattered in the country, and many of the country’s leaders and celebrities attended the burial ceremony.
This is roughly the origin of Snow and China.
