创意视频丨致斯诺姑父的一封信：红星照亮中国

在北京大学未名湖畔的树林里，有一座很特别的墓，墓碑上刻着“中国人民的美国朋友埃德加・斯诺之墓”。在这里长眠的，是写下影响全球的《红星照耀中国》的美国作家、记者埃德加・斯诺，他被评为“100位为新中国成立作出突出贡献的英雄模范人物”之一。

In the woods beside Weiming Lake at Peking University lies a very special tomb. Inscribed on the tombstone are the words "Tomb of Edgar Snow, an American Friend of the Chinese People".Here lies Edgar Snow, the American writer and journalist who wrote Red Star Over China, a book that had a global impact. He was named one of the "100 Heroic Models Who Made Significant Contribution to the Founding of the People's Republic of China".

今年是中国工农红军长征胜利90周年，也是埃德加·斯诺到中国陕北采访90周年。在长征胜利90周年纪念日到来之际，斯诺的内侄埃里克·福斯特来到斯诺墓前祭拜，并诵读自己写下的一封信，向姑父讲述“红星照亮的中国”。

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and also the 90th anniversary of Edgar Snow's interviews in northern Shaanxi, China. As the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March approaches, Sow's nephew Eric Foster came to Snow’s tomb to pay his respects to his uncle and read a letter he had written, telling his uncle about “the China under the Red Star”.

90年前，斯诺从他任教的燕京大学（今北京大学）出发，冲破封锁进入陕北苏区，亲身探寻“红色中国”的真相，写下《红星照耀中国》。这是第一部向全世界系统介绍红军长征的著作，此书先后被译成近20种语言出版传播，亿万读者借此了解中国红军和长征。

90 years ago, Edgar Snow broke through the blockade and entered the Northern Shaanxi Soviet Area from Yanjing University (now Peking University), where he taught, to personally explore the truth of "Red China" and wrote Red Star Over China. This was the first work to systematically introduce the Red Army’s Long March to the world. The book has since been translated into nearly 20 languages, published and disseminated. Enabling hundreds of millions of readers to learn about the Chinese Red Army and the Long March.

埃里克·福斯特在信中告诉斯诺，今年5月，他在武汉见到护送斯诺进苏区的“王牧师”的后人；7月，他重走长征路，从宁夏同心到甘肃迭部、岷县、哈达铺；同在7月，新华社和北京大学组织“重走斯诺路”，他参加了研讨会。中国人民从来没有忘记斯诺这位美国朋友。

In the letter, Eric Foster told his uncle Snow that in May this year he had met in Wuhan with descendants of "Pastor Wang", the man who had escorted Snow into the Soviet Area. In July he had retraced the Long March route, from Tongxin in Ningxia to Diebu, Minxian, and Hadapu in Gansu; and that also in July, Xinhua News Agency and Peking University had organized a "Retracing Snow’s Route" event, where he attended a seminar. The Chinese people have never forgotten their American friend Edgar Snow.

埃里克·福斯特用25年游历30多个国家，2010年起定居北京。他告诉姑父，如今中国日新月异，吸引许多新时代的“斯诺”从五湖四海远道而来，中国青年也跨洋对外传播。红星照亮中国，也照亮跨越山海的相向而行。

Eric Foster spent 25 years traveling through more than 30 countries and has settled in Beijing since 2010. He told his uncle that China today is changing rapidly and is attracting many new-era "Snows" from all over the world, while young Chinese are also spreading abroad to share their stories with the wider world. The Red Star shines over China, and it also lights the way for mutual understanding and exchange across mountains and seas.
