[00:00.00]Dr.Norman Bethune’s stature 1

[00:02.95]became even greater in death.

[00:06.13]The affection of the

[00:07.98]Chinese people for him swelled 2.

[00:10.17]Emotions ran high upon

[00:12.36]the news of his death.

[00:14.44]His capacity to move people,

[00:16.85]and his insight into humanity

[00:19.36]was never so evident

[00:21.66]as during this period.

[00:23.74]The Chinese people were extremely

[00:26.26]grateful that such a man

[00:28.55]had crossed their paths.

[00:30.30]During this solemn time,

[00:34.13]tributes to Bethune came from

[00:36.53]many parts of the world.

[00:38.62]He was described as an activist 3,

[00:41.35]a writer,a teacher,

[00:44.52]an administrator 4, and above all,

[00:46.93]a great doctor. Mao said of him,

[00:50.21]“ ...We must all learn the spirit

[00:53.27]of absolute selflessness from him. ”

[00:56.45]After a very simple funeral,

[01:00.28]as he, had requested,

[01:02.13]Dr. Norman Bethune was buried

[01:04.54]in the Mausoleum of the Martyrs 5

[01:07.61]in Shih Chia Chuang, 

[01:10.45]southeast of Beijing.

[01:12.75]The Chinese named a medical school

[01:15.92]and a hospital in his memory.

[01:18.44]Many other memorials have been

[01:21.06]erected in his memory over the years.

[01:24.67]One ironic 6 tragedy of all

[01:28.61]of this was that,

[01:30.69]up until 1973, Dr. Bethune

[01:33.76]had never received much recognition

[01:36.82]from his native country of Canada.

[01:39.55]Furthermore, he was not even

[01:42.51]acknowledged for his accomplishments 7,

[01:44.70]presumably because of

[01:46.12]his communist connections.

[01:48.08]In 1973, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau,

[01:54.98]another Canadian who had spent

[01:57.71]a good deal of time

[01:59.13]in China in his earlier years,

[02:00.88]convinced his Government to

[02:02.74]purchase the Bethune house in Gravenhurst,

[02:05.59]Ontario, and dedicated 8 it

[02:07.78]as“Bethune Memorial House”.
