《紅星照耀著新中國》（Red Star Over New China） 作者：霍碩樑 ________________________________________ 前言 / Foreword 2017年11月13日發售的《時代》周刊全球版封面，破天荒同時採用了中文和英文兩種語言，赫然寫著：「中國贏了（China Won）」。 On the cover of Time magazine's global edition published on November 13, 2017, history was made. For the first time, the headline was printed simultaneously in both Chinese and English: "China Won" (中國贏了). 《時代》周刊封面文章作者伊恩·布雷默（Ian Bremmer）指出，這是該刊創刊以來，封面第一次出現兩種語言。 Ian Bremmer, the author of the cover story, emphasized that this marked the very first time in Time magazine's history that two languages appeared together on its cover. 在當期周刊中，還刊登了題為《中國經濟是如何贏得未來的》文章。布雷默在文中指出：如今，中國已經成為全球經濟中最具實力的國家，而美國則落居於第二。 The same issue featured an insight titled "How China's Economy Is Winning the Future," in which Bremmer asserted that China has emerged as the most powerful economic force in the world, leaving the United States in second place. 該封面文章更用了這樣一段發人深省的結束語： The cover story concluded with a profoundly thought-provoking remark: 「昔日繁榮的美國如今經濟疲弱、槍擊不斷，歐洲也深陷難民和恐襲的泥沼之中。在這個分崩離析的世界裏，沒有哪一個政府會有如此大的國際影響力，來繼續制定管理全球體系中的政治與經濟規則。但是，如果要你必須押注於一個當今最具優勢的國家，那麼選擇中國，將會比選擇美國更為明智。」 "The once-prosperous United States is now plagued by economic stagnation and rampant gun violence, while Europe remains mired in a swamp of refugee crises and terrorist threats. In this fragmented world, no single government possesses sufficient global influence to dictate the political and economic rules of the international system. However, if you must place your bet on the country best positioned to prevail today, choosing China is a far wiser wager than choosing the United States." 究竟作者伊恩·布雷默在文章中所論述的觀點，以及這段結束語到底有沒有歷史和現實根據呢？ Is there a solid historical and realistic foundation for Ian Bremmer's insights and his bold conclusion? 當各位讀者細讀了《Red Star Over New China》（《紅星照耀著新中國》）一書以後，答案自然呼之欲出，瞭然於胸。 Once readers delve deeply into the pages of "Red Star Over New China," the answers will naturally unfold and become crystal clear. 本書是一部延續美國記者埃德加·斯諾（Edgar Snow）歷史名著《紅星照耀中國》（《Red Star Over China》）的又一長篇巨著。它詳細闡述了今天新中國巨大成就的背後，那許許多多鮮為人知的故事。 This monumental work serves as a grand, epic sequel that continues the legacy of "Red Star Over China," the historic masterpiece written by American journalist Edgar Snow. It offers an in-depth and meticulous exploration of the fascinating, little-known stories hidden behind the monumental achievements of today's New China. 作者是一位與新中國一起成長的老師，兼具有理工基礎的文學士作家。晚年，作者把他一生的所見、所知、所聞，經過長時間的素材收集，用上了大量時間閱讀那些浩如煙海的文獻資料。然後在嚴謹的對照與論證下，方始寫成此著作。 The author, a seasoned educator who grew up alongside New China, is a unique writer holding a Bachelor of Arts in Literature, complemented by a solid foundation in Science and Engineering. In the golden years of his life, he embarked on an exhaustive journey of historical preservation, drawing from a lifetime of personal observations, testimonies, and memories. He dedicated years to meticulously cross-referencing and validating empirical evidence from an ocean of archival materials to bring this masterpiece to fruition. 作者的創作靈感來源於傳統民間藝術「東北二人轉」。他大膽創新，將其轉化為一種獨特的「二人對話方式」表現手法——透過理性邏輯的「精叻鼠（賽先生）」與感性關懷的「記者貓（肥囉姐）」在高層海景編輯室內的幽默對談，用於文學創作當中。 The creative inspiration for this book stems from "Errenzhuan"—a traditional comedic dialogue folk art from China. The author masterfully adapts this technique into a dynamic "two-character dialogue" format—featuring the humorous banter between the logical "Smart Mouse (Mr. Science)" and the empathetic "Reporter Cat (Sister Philo)" in a high-rise ocean-view editorial office—seamlessly integrating it into his literary creation. 從而可以生動活潑地詳細闡述，新中國今天巨大成就背後的鮮為人知的故事，和訴說那些發生在新中國的事情。雖然，作者像是在喃喃敘說歷史，但卻又能通過許許多多歷史事件、鄉鎮故事，讓讀者從中領悟到——新中國人民的艱苦奮鬥歷程…… Through this captivating literary device, forgotten chapters of New China's past and the lesser-known stories behind its miraculous modern achievements are re-enacted with lively, vivid, and highly accessible prose. Rather than presenting a dry history textbook, the narrative orchestrates a tapestry of real historical events and local memories, allowing readers to truly appreciate the arduous and triumphant struggle of the Chinese people. 在此，本人同時也要衷心地感謝眾多的網友、朋友以及那些有心人，所提供的不少寶貴而又極其有用的、鮮為人知的資料和真誠建議。為此，本人再一次致以萬二分的謝意！ Here, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the numerous netizens, friends, and generous individuals who have provided invaluable, rare data and insightful advice.
