Si Nuo had many long talks with Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, and collected the first-hand information of the 25,000-mile Long March. In addition, he also conducted on-the-spot investigations, went deep into the Red Army soldiers and ordinary people, and made extensive and in-depth investigations on the military and civilian life, local political reform, people's customs and habits, and industrial and agricultural production in the base areas. During the four-month interview, he wrote 14 notebooks. At the end of 10, Si Nuo returned to Beiping from northern Shaanxi with his interview materials, films and photos.

From the perspective of book publishing, it is the translator Leshan Dong who really gave Si Nuo the title of Red Star over China. As a professional translator, Leshan Dong has his own considerations when choosing the English version of Red Star over China. After the first edition of Red Star over China (1937), edgar snow revised it repeatedly, including the British Gollancz edition (Victor Gollancz 1937), the first edition of Random House 1938) and the first revised edition of Random House. The second revised edition of American Random House (Random House 1944), Grove Press 1968, British Gorlancz 1968, Penguin Book 65438+.

"The Good Earth" made Americans truly understand the people of China for the first time, and "Red Star Shines on China" made westerners understand the real life of the people of China. In a sense, a generation of Americans learned about China from Si Nuo.

Red Star Shines on China English Edition

In The Red Star Shines on China, Si Nuo discusses the background of the China Revolution and the reasons for its development. He judged that because of China's propaganda and concrete actions, the poor and the oppressed had new ideas about the country, society and individuals, and had new beliefs that must be put into action. It is with this ideological arm that a group of young people have been able to carry out a mass struggle against Kuomintang rule for ten years. He admired 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 indisputable facts: China and his 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 fearless great struggle of the people of China and the Red Army soldiers, and the great and ordinary mental outlook of their leaders. He interviewed China, Peng and other 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 the people of China, 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 coming decades, including success and twists and turns.

In this way, Si Nuo's understanding of China has reached an unprecedented height. He discovered a "living China", made a correct prediction of the important role of ordinary China people, especially farmers, in historical creation, discovered the power hidden among hundreds of millions of working people, and asserted that the future of China was in their hands.

In April 2020, it was listed in the Reading Guidance Catalogue for Primary and Secondary School Students (2020 Edition) of the Basic Education Curriculum and Textbook Development Center of the Ministry of Education. [2] "Red Star Shines on China # A Good Book #0 1:40.
