The Study On Shen Zhihua And China-Sino-Soviet Relationship

Shen Zhihua, a renowned scholar dedicated to the history of Sino-Soviet relations, has won a good name in the field of history, both at home and abroad。In addition to the bountiful fruits of his research, his extraordinary life experience has also been paid attention to by many。Shen’s research covers virtually all the particulars of Sino-Soviet relations, and by analyzing information from archival materials, he has made in-depth researches on some subtle subject matters。For example, as far as the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance and the Korean War are concerned, Shen concluded that it was after China’s participation in the War, not the execution of the Treaty, that China and the Soviet Union became true allies; he also held that the Sino-Soviet split was highly concerned with the two socialist countries’ difference in principles, ideologies and internal structures。Shen Zhihua has made great contribution to the research on the history of Sino-Soviet relations, and set a good example for us by collecting information from archival materials, seeking truths in the history and doing research without pursuit of fame and fortune。The then special circumstances and Shen’s being dedicated to history has benefited him with a tortuous but short path to his success as an influential scholar in the field of history。...
