Commemorating Bethune:An Investigation of Bethune's Commemoration Activities During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,Bethune,a member of the Communist Party of Canada who aided China in the War,unfortunately died in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region.At this time,the Communist Party of China(CPC)was facing the deterioration of relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the poor medical and health conditions in the border areas.The commemorative activ-ities,as a powerful weapon to inspire people and emancipate the mind,received full attention from CPC.The CPC organized and carried out a series of commemorative activities with Bethune as the theme through specific forms such as phone calls,organizing memorial services,inscriptions,writings,and venue commemorations and naming commemorations.Bethune commemoration activities played an important role in mobilizing the masses to actively resist the war,promoting the development of medical and health services,promoting international friendly exchan-ges,and strengthening communist beliefs,providing a strong impetus for the victory of the War of Resistance a-gainst Japanese Aggression.
