What are the major events of Bethune in China?

(1) He began to operate on the wounded and sick in a Christian hospital in Wuhan from the beginning of February 1938, and then traveled thousands of miles to Hancheng, Yan 'an, Hejiachuan, Shanxi-Chaji and Jizhong, where he built a battlefield operating table under the bullets, performed thousands of operations and examined countless wounded people. Only once did they participate in the Qihui Campaign. They didn't rest for three days and nights, and they had 1 15 operations in 69 hours.

193865438+1On October 8th, Bethune led a Canadian-American medical team to take the cruise ship "Queen of Asia" and set out for China from Vancouver, Canada to support War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the people of China. When he arrived in China with a large number of medical drugs and equipment after 19 days, the Kuomintang hoped to keep the medical team-they were salivating over the precious materials in wartime. Palsson, an American doctor, stayed, but Bethune's original intention remained unchanged. Under the mediation of Soong Ching Ling, he met with Zhou Enlai, then chairman of the Central Military Commission's deputy.

Bethune said to Zhou Enlai, "I came to China to work in the liberated areas. Now the situation in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is urgent. Please arrange for me to go to the front as soon as possible. " Considering the safety from Yan 'an to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Zhou Enlai suggested that Bethune and his party go north to Yan 'an first, and then go to the front.

However, this road was not easy: although a United front had been formed in China at that time, the people of China were free to take the train from Hankou to Xi 'an, but at that time, the Japanese invaders were invading from North China to the south, and the railway line was often bombed and strafed by Japanese military aircraft. Bethune and his party arrived in Zhengzhou and changed trains at Longhai Road. They crossed the Yellow River from Tongguan and fenglingdu in Shanxi, passed Yuncheng and Houma to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Linfen, and then tried to go to Yan 'an. Bethune and his party, consisting of dozens of carts, set out from Linfen and crossed the Fenhe River to cross the Yellow River. Along the way, there were pursuers on the enemy plane, more than 20 mules were killed or injured, and several people were injured. In order to avoid enemy planes, they can only choose to travel late at night.

Bethune wrote in his diary: it is really creepy that there is no obstacle between us and the Japanese army that followed closely. On March 7th, they finally crossed the Yellow River. On March 22nd, Bethune met with Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army in Xi 'an. Then they went to Yan 'an by truck instead.

After a brief encounter, I had a long talk with Mao Zedong all night.

It was not until the end of March that this turbulent journey came to an end. As soon as Bethune arrived in Yan 'an, he said that he wanted to meet President Mao Zedong, a great and slightly mysterious figure in edgar snow's works.

The next night 10, Bethune and his party walked in the moonlight and came to Chairman Mao's residence in Fenghuang Mountain. As soon as he sat down, Bethune solemnly handed Mao Zedong his party member certificate and introduced the Spanish Civil War. Mao Zedong told the guests about the world situation, introduced the feat of the Red Army's 25,000-mile long March in Li Long, and elaborated the anti-Japanese war concept and strategy of China's * * * production party, which made Bethune's spirit very exciting. According to Sydney, Bethune's translator at that time, the meeting between Chairman Mao and Bethune lasted until after midnight.

"Bethune was a man of great personality. It is really not easy for him to admire someone from the bottom of his heart. " Li Longchi, who studied Bethune for more than 20 years, said. Bethune said that if he organized a medical team for treatment, the survival rate of more than 75% could be guaranteed. Hearing this, Mao Zedong readily agreed that Bethune should organize a field medical team to work in the front.

Bethune wrote in his diary that day: "In that unfurnished room, I sat opposite Comrade Mao Zedong, listening to his leisurely talk, recalling the Long March and how Mao Zedong and Zhu De led the Red Army from the south through the 25,000-mile long March to the loess area in the northwest mountainous area. Because of their strategic experience in those years, they can trouble the Japanese army with guerrilla warfare today, so that the superior weapons of the invaders will fail, thus saving China. Now I understand why Mao Zedong touched everyone who met him like that. This is a giant! He is one of the greatest figures in our world. "
