很多中国人是因为知道白求恩,才知道加拿大的,这是因为“老三篇”(毛泽东写的三篇短文,即《为人民服务》《愚公移山》《纪念白求恩》)。曾有一段时间,中国人人都知道有个叫白求恩的加拿大人,“是一个高尚的人,一个纯粹的人,一个有道德的人,一个脱离了低级趣味的人,一个有益于人民的人”。当国门敞开,他们开始有更多机会去加拿大看白求恩的故居,前来这里凭吊、参观的几乎都是中国人,大多数普通加拿大人对这位享有国际声誉的同胞,并没有特别多的记忆。 Many Chinese people knew Canada because of knowing Bethune because of “the third chapter.” (The three essays written by Mao Zedong, “Serving the People,” “Foolish Moves,” “Memorial to Bethune.”) There was a time when everyone in China knew that there was a Canadian who was called Bethune, “a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped lower interests and a person who is good for the people people”. When the country was wide open, they began to have more opportunities to go to Canada to see Bethune’s former home, come here to pay for it, visit almost all Chinese people, most ordinary Canadians for this internationally renowned compatriots, there is no special memory .
