Birthplace of a Hero


Norman Bethune was born in the house next door in 1890.  Forty-nine years later he died on the other side of the world caring for a people he loved.

Often a controversial and challenging personality, Bethune was a doctor, teacher, innovator and humanitarian.  He was at the forefront of the battle against tuberculosis. He was an outspoken advocate for universal health care in Canada. He pioneered mobile blood transfusion during the Spanish Civil War.  He gave his life in China, teaching and providing medical care to those fighting back invaders.

To a billion people Norman Bethune is a hero and the face of Canada.

 

La naissance d’un héros


Né dans la maison voisine, en 1890, Norman Bethune meurt 49 ans plus tard à l’autre bout du monde, en soignant un peuple qu’il aime.

Homme au caractère complexe et à la personnalité difficile, Bethune fut médecin, professeur, inventeur et humanitaire. Pionnier de la lutte contre la tuberculose, il défendit ouvertement l’universalité des soins de santé au Canada. Il mit en place des unités mobiles de transfusion sanguine pendant la guerre civile espagnole avant de donner sa vie en Chine, où il enseigna et soigna les combattants qui tentaient de repousser les envahisseurs.

Pour un milliard de personnes, Norman Bethune est un héros et un symbole du Canada.

英雄的诞生地


1890年,诺尔曼∙白求恩出生在隔壁那所住宅里。49年后,为了救助他热爱的人民,牺牲在异国他乡。

他是一名医生,一位教师,一个发明家和人道主义斗士。 他个性鲜明,常常惹来争议,一生不甘平凡。在加拿大,他曾经亲身与肺结核作斗争; 病愈后积极倡导建立全民医疗保障体系; 在西班牙内战时期,他组建了血液流动运输站; 在中国,他救死扶伤,传授医术,并最终为中国人民献出了自己的生命。

在十亿多人民的心目中,诺尔曼∙白求恩是一位英雄,是加拿大的代名词。
