Bethune refused the Kuomintang in order to meet Chairman Mao: I want to go to Yan 'an and go to the anti-Japanese front.
In Wuhan, Zhou Enlai met Bethune and introduced China's anti-Japanese situation and the anti-Japanese national united front. Encouraged, Bethune began to yearn for the heart of Yan 'an. The Kuomintang tried to keep Bethune in Wuhan, but he sternly refused and said:
Under the proper arrangement of Zhou Enlai, Bethune broke through the obstacles of the Kuomintang and came to Yan 'an, the revolutionary holy land he had longed for for for a long time. He once described his impression and understanding of Yan 'an as follows:
These impressions made Bethune more convinced of the correctness of his visit to Yan 'an.
The day after Bethune arrived in Yan 'an, he got unexpected news: Mao Zedong, the revolutionary leader of China, was going to see him that evening. One of Bethune's wishes was to come to China to meet his long-admired Chairman Mao. To this end, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly put on the gray cloth uniform of the Eighth Route Army that he had just issued, buttoned every button, took out a wallet from his suitcase, put it in his pocket seriously, and made all the preparations for welcoming Mao Zedong.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bethune entered Mao Zedong's residence. Mao Zedong stood at the gate of the courtyard to meet him, holding Bethune's hand tightly and inviting him into the cave. Bethune looked at the big and thin man in front of him. Although he is wearing an ordinary cotton-padded jacket with patches on his cuffs and knees and a pair of ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers' cotton shoes at his feet, his expression reveals heroism and his eyes are shining with wisdom.
Bethune gave a solemn military salute to Mao Zedong for a Spanish international column, and gave Mao Zedong his wallet. Mao Zedong opened his wallet, which contained a party member card from party member. They sat down face to face and talked cordially like old friends who had been away for years.
Mao Zedong first said happily:
Bethune conveyed cordial greetings from the Canadian people and the American people to Mao Zedong, and introduced in detail the revolutions of the Canadian, American and Spanish people. Mao Zedong listened and nodded from time to time, expressing admiration and appreciation.
Then, Mao Zedong introduced the development of China anti-Japanese base area to Bethune, answered his concerns, and carefully explained the truth that our army would win and the Japanese aggressors would lose, which deeply moved him.
When it comes to work, Bethune enthusiastically said:
Mao Zedong is very considerate. At present, there is no battlefield medical team in the Eighth Route Army. Due to the tight blockade by the enemy, medicines, equipment and medical personnel are extremely scarce. According to western standards, the medical facilities of the Eighth Route Army are about zero. He told Bethune: Unfortunately, there are too many deaths among the seriously injured at present.
Bethune went on to say:
"Seventy-five percent?" Mao Zedong's attention suddenly focused on this character. He thought that this would make most seriously injured soldiers avoid sacrifice, which means that our soldiers can have two or more opportunities to attack the enemy. Bethune looked forward to Mao Zedong's decision.
Mao Zedong said happily:
"Good," Bethune readily agreed, with a satisfied smile on his face. Mao Zedong said with concern that the front line is very dangerous, with heavy tasks, poor conditions and hard life. Please pay more attention to your health.
The long night, Mao Zedong and Bethune's conversation continued. They talked about the domestic political and military struggle from the international situation and the work they are facing now from Bethune's previous work experience. Bethune thought Mao Zedong was really knowledgeable. In him, all kinds of talents and knowledge are natural, and his speech is particularly approachable.
In this way, they talked nonstop for more than three hours, and Mao Zedong was as energetic and quick-thinking as at the beginning of the conversation.
At the end of the conversation, Mao Zedong sent Bethune to the mouth of the cave, held his hand and said, Please convey my respect to Canadian and American friends! When you get to the front, if you have any questions or difficulties, you must write.
Bethune returned to his residence and could not be calm for a long time. He took out his typewriter and recorded the unforgettable meeting in his diary:
Soon, Bethune crossed the Yellow River to Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Anti-Japanese Base Area. He took an Eighth Route Army field medical team, fought in various battlefields, braved the bullets and saved countless wounded people in extremely difficult environment. In practice, it has also trained a large number of medical workers for us.
In the intense work, Bethune wrote to Mao Zedong many times, reported his work and put forward many constructive suggestions on medical work. Mao Zedong is also very concerned about this foreign comrade who has contributed to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China. He once instructed Nie Rongzhen, commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, to give Comrade Bethune 65.438 million yuan every month ... and agree to appoint Comrade Bethune as a health consultant for military doctors. Trust their opinions and abilities completely. Please deal with everything according to the needs of the wounded.
Bethune thanked Mao Zedong for his concern. In his letter to Mao Zedong, he said: I don't need money myself, because everything is for medical care and food. If the money was remitted to me by Canada and the United States, please keep it for the wounded to buy cigarettes and cigarettes ... Bethune always kept the style of hard struggle and always saved part of his living expenses to buy materials for the wounded. He was deeply loved by the soldiers, and his touching stories were sung everywhere in front and behind.
Unfortunately, in the second winter when Bethune came to work in China, that is,1939165438+10/2, Bethune died in a small mountain village in Hebei Province while operating on the wounded. At the last moment of his life, he was not only proud to work in China, but also missed Mao Zedong. He shook hands with people around him and said, Please tell Chairman Mao that I thank him and the Communist Party of China (CPC) for their help. Under the leadership of Chairman Mao, the people of China will be liberated.
Hearing the news of Bethune's death, Chairman Mao was very sad. At the memorial service for Bethune held by all walks of life in Yan 'an, Chairman Mao personally wrote a eulogy:
Shortly after Bethune's death, Chairman Mao wrote "In Memory of Bethune" under intense work, highly praised Bethune's internationalist spirit and called on everyone to learn from Bethune:
