My hero - Dr Norman Bethune
Norman Bethune is one of Chinas most famous heroes, but he wasnt Chinese -he was Canadian. He gave his life to helping the Chinese people.
Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916, and he went to the front to look after injured soldiers in the First World War. He saw many soldiers die in the war. Later he invented new treatments to help soldiers, and medical tools to use outside hospitals.
In 1938 he came to China to treat the Chinese soldiers in the mountains north of Yanan. There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard. He opened hospitals to give treatment to local people and soldiers, and to train doctors and nurses. He also wrote books so that doctors could learn about new treatments.
Dr Bethune worked very hard without stopping to rest. Once, he performed operations for 69 hours without stopping, and saved 112 people. He continued working in spite of cutting his hand during an operation. In the end, he died because he did not stop to take care of his hand.
Dr Bethunes work with the Chinese soldiers made him a hero in China. There are books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both Canada and China.
