"From the Snow's era to today, this conviction has never changed: when more people see with their own eyes, understanding happens," Adam Foster, grandnephew of Helen Foster Snow — Edgar's wife and a celebrated journalist in her own right — and founding chairman of the Helen Foster Snow Foundation, said.
Foster, who participated in the Henan tour, described his experience as "almost a personal journey".
"I want to understand the journey that he went on to understand the Chinese people," he said, adding that he was struck by the region's "earth-shaking" changes since Snow's time.
