Helen Foster Snow, former wife of the late （已故） Edgar Snow (the world-famous
writer of Red Star Over China), died in the United States on January 11, 1997, at the
age of 89. With roots deep among her own American people, she was a lifelong friend
of the Chinese people and a bridge-builder between China and America.
A small-town girl born and schooled in the southwestern U.S. State of Utah, Helen
Foster came to China in 1931 when she was 23. Clever, attractive, eager to be a writer,
she first worked as a secretary in Shanghai. There she met and married Edgar Snow,
still a young and little-know journalist. Together they began to observe, study and
write.
In 1936, Snow made his first-ever foreign journalistic visit to China’s then tiny
Communist-led areas, which resulted in his world famous work, Red Star Over China.
Within a few months, Helen followed with an equally dangerous trip alone, producing
Inside Red China. Both books reflected (expressed) their belief that they had seen the
most important center of China’s future.
Helen’s interest in industrial cooperative （合作） in China was lifelong. Her study of
Chinese history, society, culture and women’s movements was also of good value. In
celebrating Helen’s life, Chinese leaders sang high praise for her contribution to the
friendship and understanding between Chinese and American people. For all these
reasons, the new China conferred （授予） on her the title of Friendship Ambassador.

Fifty people died, over 11,000 were injured, and 100,000 houses were heavily
damaged or destroyed in an earthquake that struck Shangyi and Zhangbei counties in
North China’s Hebei Province.
The quake, measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale （里氏6.2级）, hit the area 220 km
northwest of Beijing at 11:50 a.m. on January 10, 1998.
Geng Qingguo, a researcher with the State Seismological Bureau （SSB国家地震局）
Earthquake Date and Information Center, made a report of the recent quake in
November 1993. Geng said that the area of northwestern Beijing, the joint of Shanxi
and Hebei Provinces and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are most easily
attacked by earthquakes measuring 6 to a bit over 7 on the Richter scale.
However, scientists did not see the recent earthquake earlier. Clouds covered a large
area in the northern part of North China before the earthquake and experts say that
this prevented satellites from correctly watching the temperature at the correct
altitude （纬度）.
SSB experts say that China may face a major earthquake from now through early next
century. In the last ten years, about 305 earthquakes have occurred in China with 9
measuring over 7 on the Richter scale, 60 measuring over 6, and 236 measuring over 5.

have resulted.
