Beginning in the 1920s thousands of Chinese revolutionaries set out for Soviet Russia. Once there, they studied Russian language and experienced Soviet communism, but many also fell in love, got married, or had children. In this they were similar to other people from all over the world who were enchanted by the Russian Revolution and lured to Moscow by it.

The Chinese who traveled to live and study in Moscow in a steady stream over the course of decades were a key human interface between the two revolutions, and their stories show the emotional investment backing ideological, economic, and political change. They embodied an attraction strong enough to be felt by young people in their provincial hometowns, strong enough to pull them across Siberia to a place that had previously held no interest at all. After the Revolution, the Chinese went home, fought a war, and then, in the 1950s, carried out a revolution that was and still is the Soviet Union’s most geopolitically significant legacy. They also sent their children to study in Moscow and passed on their affinities to millions of Chinese, who read Russia’s novels, watched its movies, and learned its songs. Russian culture was woven into the memories of an entire generation that came of age in the 1950s – a connection that has outlasted not just the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union, but also the subsequent erosion of socialist values and practices. This multi-generational personal experience has given China’s relationship with Russia an emotional complexity and cultural depth that were lacking before the advent of twentieth century communism – and have survived its demise. If the Chinese eventually helped to lead a revolution that resembled Russia’s in remarkable ways, it was not only because class struggle intensified in China due to international imperialism as Lenin had predicted it would, or because Bolsheviks arrived in China to ensure that it did. It was also because as young people, they had been captivated by the potential of the Russian Revolution to help them to become new people and to create a new China.

This richly crafted and narrated book uses the metaphor of a life-long romance to tell a new story about the relationship between Russia and China. These lives were marked by an emotional engagement that often took the form of a romance: love affairs, marriages, divorces, and

一片红心：中国共产主义者如何爱上俄国革命

作为非虚构作品来读非常好看。

八卦小报印成书了

我会说这是一部非虚构作品。作者的文笔极好，大量细节铺陈，雕梁画栋，或是源于creative writing绿皮书的圣经指点——采访时要注意那些相关与不相关的细节，或是源于历史材料的采撷——回忆录材料在其中占据了大量比重。作者多语言收集、应用文献的能力，英语世界对国际左翼运动研究的总体推进程度，保证了这本书的基本成色。印象尤为深刻的是很多在印象中颇为神秘的故事，——蒋经国的去国与归国，莫斯科神秘的子…
