Features: After the end of China's Cultural Revolution and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the right and wrong of the issues discussed in this book have become very clear. Discussing how the criticisms and insights in the text are correct and well-intentioned, while the viewpoints attacking him are absurd and fanatical, seems somewhat redundant today. In June 1936, the renowned French writer André Gide was invited by the Soviet Writers' Union to visit the Soviet Union for over two months. This book authentically records his observations, experiences, and thoughts during his visit. It helps us understand the true situation in the Soviet Union at that time and holds great inspirational significance for reflecting on history. After the end of China's Cultural Revolution and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the right and wrong of the issues discussed in this book have become very clear. Discussing how the criticisms and insights in the text are correct and well-intentioned, while the viewpoints attacking him are absurd and fanatical, seems somewhat redundant today. We certainly admire Gide's foresight: half a century ago, he saw the signs of the Soviet regime's impending collapse and offered advice. We also admire his courage in upholding justice: in the 1930s, when left-wing thought became the mainstream ideological trend, he dared to defy convention and speak the truth, angering the progressive forces centered around the Soviet Union at the time. Right and wrong have never been determined by a single party, line, or ideology, a point that history has proven repeatedly. Today, reading Return from the USSR, what still deeply provokes reflection is Gide's intellectual and psychological journey as he faced the stark choices and made sharp turns. With admiration, we should look at how a leading intellectual of his generation, unafraid of hardship, walked such a path.
