This day, 15 February, in 1972, saw the passing of Edgar Snow. Some of his ashes would be buried by Weiming Lake at Peking University, while Ye Jianying would later personally inscribe a monument for him, writing, “The Tomb of Edgar Snow, an American Friend of the Chinese People”. Snow’s many reports had brought about a mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and the United States.
这一天，1972年2月15日，埃德加·斯诺去世了。 他的一些骨灰将被埋在北京大学的清明湖旁，而叶建英后来会亲自为他刻上一座纪念碑，写道：“埃德加·斯诺的坟墓，一个中国人的美国朋友”。 斯诺的许多报道为中美两国人民带来了相互理解和友谊。
