Snow came to China in 1928. He spent over 10 years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(travel) around China and trying to understand its people. At the same time, he tried to show {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he learnt to the rest of the world. For example, Red Star Over China, a book came out in the 1930s. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(know) as the first book that introduced China's revolution to the West. Many Westerners were introduced to the Party through {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(he) book. Norman Bethune, a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(Canada) doctor, came to China after reading Snow's book. He worked hard to save the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(life) of Chinese soldiers during the World War Ⅱ.
