As the first foreign journalist to introduce the Communist Party of China to the world, Edgar Snow’s "Red Stars Shine on China" and Helen Snow’s "Continued Westward Journey" and other works have allowed more people to see the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army. Image.
Today, in the process of telling Chinese stories to the outside world, the search for "Snow of the New Era" has become the focus of attention.
At an event organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries on the 25th, Eric Foster said that "Snow of the New Era" is not just one person, but everyone who tells the story of China.
When telling Chinese stories, we need to show more daily stories of Chinese people, and do our best to let the outside world see the ordinary life of Chinese people.
People do not have to endure hunger and live a happy life, which is completely different from the situation presented by individual Western media.
All in all, focusing on daily life stories is more helpful for the outside world to understand China.
From the outside, the greatness of Edgar Snow and Helen Snow lies in the fact that they can faithfully record what they have seen and heard in the "Red China" in the face of the deliberately misinterpreted CCP.
Speaking of the false reports of some Western media on China today, Eric Foster believes that having a pre-designed one-sided report will add a deep impression and lead to misunderstandings, and then incites the people of his country to regard China as a competitor.
"It is far from enough to understand China from false news reports. After arriving in China, you will be surprised by China's modernization achievements, especially helping a large number of people out of poverty. These experiences and stories are worth telling. "Eric Foster said.
He further stated that the spirit of internationalism represented by Snow and a group of international friends is even more precious at the time when the trend of anti-globalization prevails.
"The initiative of China to jointly build the'Belt and Road' initiative is a concrete manifestation of the spirit of internationalism. It connects different countries through commercial trade, cultural exchanges, etc., and builds bridges of communication. This is a historical correctness. One side." (End)
