As an ancient poem goes, distance cannot divide true friends who feel close even when thousands of miles apart. Though separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, our two peoples enjoy a deep bond of amity and goodwill. As early as the latter half of the 19th century, tens of thousands of Chinese workers came to Canada to help build the Canadian Pacific Railway, which linked up the country’s east and west and contributed to Canada’s economic and social development. In the 1930s, Norman Bethune, a Canadian doctor, devoted himself to the Chinese people’s struggle against Japanese aggression and made the ultimate sacrifice. In the 1970s, defying all odds, the older generation of Chinese and Canadian leaders made the bold and visionary decision to open the door of relations between our countries, making Canada one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with New China. All these episodes remain fresh in the memory of many Chinese and Canadians.
相知无远近,万里尚为邻。中加两国虽隔着宽广的太平洋,但两国人民心理距离很近,彼此充满友好和亲切感。早在19世纪中后期,数以万计的华工参加修筑加拿大太平洋铁路,为贯通加拿大东西大动脉、促进经济社会发展作出了贡献。上世纪30年代,白求恩大夫积极投身中国人民抗日战争事业,献出了宝贵生命。70年代,两国老一辈政治家以非凡的勇气和远见卓识,冲破重重阻力,开启了中加关系的大门,加拿大成为最早同新中国建交的西方国家之一。这些都已成为两国人民口口相传的佳话。
