After 1949, for a long time, very few Western photographers came to China. In 1957, at the age of 27, Robert Carl Cohen, as a special correspondent for NBC, was invited by the Chinese government to conduct a two-month visit to China, becoming the first American journalist to conduct a photographic interview in New China. The interview-edited documentary "Inside Red China" was subsequently broadcast in the United States, providing useful and positive help for the world to understand the new China.
