Edgar Snow
Edgar Snow arrived in Shanghai in July of 1928. From 1928 to 1932, he worked as a correspondent for several foreign newspapers in Shanghai. In September 1933, his first book “Far Eastern Front” was published in London. In this book, Edgar Snow laid bare the truth of the Japanese imperialists’ brutal aggression against China.
In July 1936, with the help of Mme Soong Qing-ling, Edgar Snow arrived at Yan’an. In July 1937, he made four months of careful observations in Yan’an and interviewed with Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other leading figures of the Communist Party of China (CPC) as well as senior leaders of the Red Army. His interviews with Mao Zedong had not only dispelled his previous doubts and misgivings about China and given birth to the book “Red Star Over China,” but also cultivated a life-long friendship with the leaders of the CPC.
Then the book has been translated into more than 20 languages and is considered the first book to introduce the Chinese revolution to the western world.
After returning to the United States, Edgar Snow wrote a lot for newspapers and magazines to introduce the CPC and the Red Army to the American people.
Edgar Snow died in his home in Geneva on February 15, 1972, just four days before President Richard Nixon made his historic trip to China. After his death, part of his ashes was buried at the Weiming Lake in Peking University in China and the remaining was buried on the shores of the Hudson River in the United States.

Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going
to introduce a great man who devoted his life
to practicing medicine for the people of China-Dr Norman Bethune. He was born in 1890, in Canada. He was a complicated person who was both very creative and very stubborn. He was also very hard-working, and wanted to make a difference in the world. In fact, he invented or improved numerous surgical procedures and surgical instruments.
However, it was in China that he would break national boundaries by becoming one of the few Western doctors to help the Chinese in their wartime struggle. His contribution to the welfare of the Chinese people was not only unusual, but immense.
Having married a wealthy woman, Bethune had once enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle in Canada. However, his social conscience developed during the 1930s, with a visit to the Soviet Union and time as a surgeon during the Spanish Civil War. In January 1938, he left Canada again, this time to help the soldiers in China’s Eighth Route Army.
It was no easy journey. Travelling thousands of kilometres, he did not reach Yan’an until the end of March. By June, he was working at the front. He soon saw that the medical situation for the troops and local people was bad. There were not enough medicines or surgical instruments, and the medical staff were not trained. Bethune worked hard to help the wounded and train his staff, even inventing medical equipment that was suitable for guerilla warfare in China. The pace at which Bethune worked can be seen in a battle during April 1939, when he performed 115 operations in only 69 hours.
The Chinese, though they sometimes found Bethune difficult because of his stubbornness, admired him greatly because of his ceaseless hard work and his dedication to helping the Chinese people. But tragedy struck when Bethune cut himself while conducting an operation. He soon contracted blood poisoning and died on 12 November 1939.
Dr Norman Bethune had worked tirelessly as a surgeon, teacher and hospital administrator for the Chinese people. their struggle became his own. Although he was not Chinese, he sacrificed his life for them.
In December 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an article “In Memory of Norman Bethune”, as a tribute to Bethune, and called on the Chinese people to learn from his example. Dr Norman Bethune remains the greatest inspiration for anyone who believes that we must fight alongside others for justice – even if they are from a different nation to our own.
Edgar Snow was an American journalist who wrote influential books and articles about China in the 1930s.
