The lesser-known story behind 'Red Star Over China': In 1936, American journalist Edgar Snow from Missouri traveled to the revolutionary base of the Communist Party of China in northwest China. Alongside him was George Hatem, an American doctor who would later adopt the Chinese name Ma Haide.
While Snow returned to share his firsthand accounts with the world, Dr. Ma Haide chose to stay, dedicating his life to medicine and public health in China. Their paths diverged, but their friendship endured for a lifetime.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the 25th meeting of the Council of Heads of Government (Prime Ministers) of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO).
At present, various currents of thought are clashing on the international stage, but multipolarity and economic globalization remain the prevailing trends. The SCO should continue to uphold the Shanghai Spirit, working not only to promote regional stability and prosperity but also to contribute to the common development of the world.
China stands ready to work hand in hand with all member states to enhance the SCO’s operational efficiency, strengthen and consolidate cooperation projects, and play a leading and exemplary role in advancing the organization’s high-quality development, implementing the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping, and building a community with a shared future for humanity.
China is ready to work with all parties to strengthen coordination and establish the institutions and rules for the “four security centers” as soon as possible. China is also willing to sponsor 1,000 medical professionals from SCO countries to come to China for further training, continuously enhancing the well-being of people across the region.

For decades, David Plymire has shared a special connection with Huangyuan, Qinghai — supporting education and helping bring medical equipment to the area. 🤝 His story adds a personal chapter to China-U.S. people-to-people ties. #ChinaUSTies #PeopleToPeople

A century-old bond between an American family and NW China's Qinghai: David Victor Plymire’s story. #ChinaUS #friendship #peopletopeople
On Sept. 10, inside his home in Springfield, Missouri, 95-year-old David Victor Plymire carefully opened Imprints, a cherished photo album. One image, captured in 1942, depicted a sweeping vista of Dangar Ancient Town in Huangyuan county, northwest China's Qinghai province, with six children standing on a hillside.
"That's me." David recalled during a video call, effortlessly switching into the local Huangyuan dialect. "I was just a teenager then. No matter where life takes me, I'll always consider myself a son of Huangyuan."
On the other end of the screen lay Huangyuan, Qinghai. Wang Shikang, former president of Huangyuan county people's hospital, greeted him warmly in the local dialect: "Brother David, the mutton is all set for your return." David's eyes softened, and his voice caught. "Every quiet moment reminds me of everyone here. I miss you all deeply."
In Huangyuan, David is a beloved local figure, affectionately known as "Mr. Big-Nose." His story has endured across generations, even inspiring a children's rhyme that residents still sing today. The nickname belies a deeper truth: a cross-cultural friendship spanning more than a century and two generations of an American family.
