历史背景和伟大意义《纪念白求恩》一文,是毛主席在一九三九年十二月二十一日,白求恩同志逝世后不久写的。当时,中国的伟大抗日战争已经进行了两年多。中国人民反抗日本侵略者的正义战争,得到了世界人民的极大同情和支持。有些无产阶级国际主义战士还亲自来到中国,参加中国人民的反侵略战争。加拿大共产党员白求恩同志,就是其中的一个。 Historical Background and Great Significance The “Memorial to Bethune” article was written by Chairman Mao shortly after Comrade Bethune’s death on December 21, 1939. At that time, China’s great Anti-Japanese War has been going on for more than two years. The just war of the Chinese people against the Japanese invaders has won great sympathy and support from the people of the world. Some proletarian internationalist fighters have personally come to China to participate in the anti-aggression war by the Chinese people. One of them is Comrade Bethune, a Canadian Communist.
