Red Star Over China (1937) is a famous nonfiction book by American journalist Edgar Snow. It was the first Western book to introduce Mao Zedong and China's Communist revolution(共产主义革命)to the world.
Snow travelled to China's Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Base Area in 1936. He interviewed Mao and other leaders, recording their daily lives and revolutionary work. Snow also recorded conversations with Zhou Enlai and other future Chinese leaders. The most important part of the book is Mao's own life story—his first autobiography(自传).
The book describes communist soldiers' fights against poverty and war, presenting them as hard-working patriots(爱国者). Written in clear journalistic style, the book helped shape global understanding of China's revolution.
Though many doubted what was written in the book when it was published, historians now consider it valuable primary source material. Since then, the phrase "red star" has become the symbol of communist China. The book has been translated into many languages and it remains important for understanding modern Chinese history and how outsiders viewed China's great changes.
