But in China, nobody talks about Edgar Snow and Helen Snow as long as they talk about the U.S. or Sino-American friendship. Edgar is a Kansas City, Missouri, who died in 1971. Helen was a Citadel in Utah and died in 1997. Both of them came to China in the 1930s, went to northern Shaanxi, interviewed Chairman Mao and other leaders of the CPC and wrote many books on China, especially the “Western Red Star” (“Red Star Shines on China”) A book well-known.
