白求恩簡介（英語）

Born on March 3, 1890 in a prominent Scottish Canadian family, Dr Henry Norman Bethune was a Canadian physician and medical innovator. Bethune is best known for his service in war time medical units during the Spanish Civil War and with the People's Liberation Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He developed the first mobile blood-transfusion service in Spain in 1936. In 1938 Bethune traveled to Yan'an in the Shanbei region of Shaanxi province in China. There he joined the Chinese Communists led by Mao in their struggle against the Japanese invaders. In China, Bethune specifically refused to work under Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalist government and insisted on helping the Chinese Communists instead. He performed emergency battlefield surgical operations on war casualties and established training for doctors, nurses and orderlies.He did not distinguish between casualties, treating wounded Japanese prisoners as well as Chinese. Stationed with the Communist Party of China's Eighth Route Army in the midst of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Bethune cut his finger while operating on a soldier. Probably due to his weakened state, he contracted septicaemia (blood poisoning) and died of his wounds on November 12, 1939. A Communist, he wrote that wars were motivated by profits, not principles.
