Features: In July 1937, Nym Wales, the wife of Edgar Snow, broke through numerous obstacles and traveled from Beijing to Xi'an, then to Yan'an, taking about four to five months to complete this work that made the world take a fresh look at the Chinese Communist Party. During her visit to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, this female journalist, who approached early leaders of the Chinese Communist Party such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and Zhang Wentian with a unique identity, tightly grasped hands with outstanding women like Cai Chang, Liu Qunxian, Kang Keqing, and Ding Ling, and devoted significant space to introducing Chinese women and the revolution. Many chapters in this translation are published for the first time. The stories are vivid and authentic, with delicate emotions and a natural, straightforward style, making it of extremely high historical and reportage value.
The original Chinese title of this book was "Behind the Red China," published after "Red Star Over China." However, considering the unified anti-Japanese effort, it was later translated as "Red Star Over China: Continuation."
An authorized complete translation of the Chinese edition, featuring numerous rare historical photographs.
