For Norman Bethune, saving lives was the most important thing in the world. He had been back in Canada only a few months when he heard of the terrible war in China. He knew there would be people who needed his help and skills as a doctor. In 1937 Doctor Bethune left Canada to join the Communist Party in China. He brought many medical supplies with him. He had to be very careful on his long journey to the north of China because he had to go through Kuomintang Territory (国民党统治区).After many harrowing(极其痛苦的)incidents, he met up with Mao Zedong.

He stressed (强调)the need to bring medical help to the wounded soldiers at the front (前线) and Mao Zedong supported him. It was a joyful meeting for Norman Bethune.

Norman Bethune taught hundreds of young men how to give first aid (急救) to the wounded. But it was not only the soldiers he cared for. Often, he would stop at small towns and villages to treat (治疗) the people who lived there. He even gave away his own food and clothes. People everywhere spoke of this kind Canadian doctor who slept in caves with the soldiers and who risked his life every day saving others. Sometimes he even continued to operate with enemy guns firing and bombs falling only a few feet away. Norman Bethune died when he was only forty-nine. All Chinese people mourned (悼念)his death. He was their good friend. After the war ended, the Chinese government set up a statue (雕塑)in his honour.
