It was a patriotic (爱国的) work that encouraged thousands of Chinese during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931—1945). In 1940, Xian went to Moscow to work. After World War II, he returned to Moscow to treat his illness in 1945. He died of illness in October, 1945 in a hospital near the Moscow Kremlin at the age of 40.
