Visiting Gravenhurst-The Hometown of Norman Bethune.
|
On February 23 rd, 2007, the President of Tianjiao, James Zhan visited Bethune Memorial House National Historic Site in Gravenhurst, Ontario. The mayor of Gravenhurst, John Klinck, welcomed James Zhan, and had a wonderful conversation with him. They all agreed with that Norman Bethune was a great surgeon, internationalist, and humanitarian. He worked under extreme circumstances and saved the lives of many Chinese. In addition, John Klinck hopes Tianjiao’s “Follow Dr. Norman Bethune to China: Canada-China Cultural Exchange Program” has a great success in July. He also hopes through Tianjiao’s program and effort, the friendship between China and Canada will last forever.
