2. In 1930s and 1940s, the Chinese translation of Red Star Shines on China, which was renamed due to its successful publication, and the related 25,000-mile Long March and China under the Red Flag were banned. Until 1949, on the eve of the birth of new China, several new versions of the Long March 25th appeared in Shanghai and Hongkong. In 1950s and 1960s, in many political movements, Red Star created by foreigners was gradually ignored in China, but it was still popular all over the world. It was not until the early 1970s that Si Nuo visited China again that Red Star was reissued as an "internal publication".
After the reform and opening up, Red Star was polished again. In addition to Hu Yuzhi's team's translation in earlier years, Leshan Dong's new translation has also joined in. By 1984, when Xinhua Publishing House published the Collected Works of Si Nuo, the name of Red Star Shines on China was restored, and Red Star Shines on China became a subtitle. This year, more than 285 volumes of works have been subscribed.
4. The history of Red Star's best-selling world also tells us that both Bethune and Ke Dihua have read this book, which has become one of the main motivations for them to make up their minds to work in China; From World War II to the end of last century, many American presidents admitted to reading the book Red Star, which became an important reference for their decision-making strategy toward China. In Japan and South Korea, scholars also regard reading Red Star as a "key" to understand China in the 2nd century.
