China's Foreign Minister Mr.Wang Yi highly praised Edgar Snow (1905﹣1972),a reporter from America on March 7 this year during the National People's Congress in Beijing.He said Snow was always "staying truthful and objective(客观的)and standing by justice (正义) and conscience (良心).

Snow came to China in 1928.He spent over 10 years in China trying to understand its people and showing what he learned to the rest of the world.He is best known for his books and articles on Communism (共产 主义)in China and the Chinese Communist Revolution (革命).For example,Red Star Over China,which came out in the 1930s,is known as the first book that introduced China's revolution to the west.In it,Snow collected first hand information on the Long March,as well as on the work and life of members of the Communist Party of China.

Many westerners were introduced to the Party through his book.Norman Bethune,a Canadian doctor,came to China after reading Snow's book.He worked hard to save the lives of Chinese soldiers during World War II.

" When the whole world had forgotten us,Snow came to see us and told the world what had happened.We will remember Snow's great help to China forever, " Chairman Mao said during the interview with a German reporter in 1938.
