6、e. Today Im going to introduce a great man who devoted his life to practicing medicine for the people of China Dr Norman Bethune. He was born in 1890, in Canada. He was a complicated person who was both very creative and very stubborn. He was also very hard working, and wanted to make a difference i
7、n the world. In fact, he invented or improved numerous surgical procedures(手术手术) and surgical instruments(仪仪器器). However, it was in China that he would break national boundaries by becoming one of the few Western doctors to help the Chinese in their wartime struggle. His contribution to the welfare
8、of the Chinese people was not only unusual, but immense(极大的，巨大的极大的，巨大的).Having married a wealthy woman, Bethune had once enjoyed a luxurious(奢侈的奢侈的; ; 豪华的豪华的) lifestyle in Canada. However, his social conscience developed during the 1930s, with a visit to the Soviet Union and time as a surgeon during
9、 the Spanish Civil War. In January 1938, he left Canada again, this time to help the soldiers in Chinas Eighth Route Army. It was no easy journey. Travelling thousands of kilometres, he did not reach Yanan until the end of March. By June, he was working at the front. He soon saw that the medical sit
10、uation for the troops and local people was bad. There were not enough medicine or surgical instruments, and the medical staff were not well trained. Bethune worked hard to help the wounded and train his staff, even inventing medical equipment that was suitable for guerilla( 游击队游击队) warfare in China.
11、 The pace at which Bethune worked can be seen in a battle during April 1939, when he performed 115 operations in only 69 hours. The Chinese, though they sometimes found Bethune difficult because of his stubbornness(倔强，顽强倔强，顽强), admired him greatly because of his ceaseless(无休止的，不断的无休止的，不断的) hard work
12、 and his dedication to helping the Chinese people. But tragedy (悲剧，惨剧悲剧，惨剧) struck when Bethune cut himself while conducting an operation on 28 October. He soon contracted(感染感染) blood poisoning and died on 12 November 1939.Dr Norman Bethune had worked tirelessly as a surgeon, teacher and hospital ad
13、ministrator for the Chinese people. Their struggle became his own. Although he was not Chinese, he sacrificed his life for them. In December 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an article “In Memory of Norman Bethune”, as a tribute to Bethune, and called on the Chinese people to learn from his example.
14、Dr Norman Bethune remains the greatest inspiration for anyone who believes that we must fight alongside others for justice even if they are from a different nation to our own.Period Writing应用文写作演讲稿 Look at the pictures and make a list of boundaries in society.
