Until the present day, Mao Zedong's biography has been the subject
of an international mountain of commentary in China and elsewhere.
Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on
the American journalist Edgar Snow's (1905–1972) account in Red
Star over China for the route Mao traveled from early childhood
through his youth. How the "Red Star" Rose introduces the image of
Mao and the biographical information made known to the world
through the publication of Red Star, and with its publication the
circumstances which they fundamentally undermined. There is no
reason that Mao Zedong the person himself would completely change
by virtue of the publication of Red Star. However, the external
image surrounding him did completely change from before. Ishikawa
uses Mao Zedong as raw material to examine from whence and how
ordinary historical information and images which we habitually use
unconsciously come into being. He desires to help readers to
reconsider the historicity of the generation of not only Mao's
image but of that of "historical materials." This book also
examines the situation prevailing after the collection of data and
publication of Red Star which played the definitive role in
generating Mao's image and will investigate the various editions of
Red Star in English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese.
