Searching for Norman Bethune's touching deeds

1. Mass blood bank

In June 1938, Norman Bethune was teaching blood transfusion techniques at the Songyankou Military Rear Hospital in Wutai County, Shanxi Province. "Blood transfusion" was a relatively new technology at that time, and only a few hospitals in China's major cities were able to carry it out. Blood transfusion under field medical conditions was something that people did not even dare to think about. Bai Qun first detailed the operation of blood collection, standard blood type production, blood type identification, blood matching test, storage, transportation, safekeeping and other basic knowledge, and then pushed a patient with chest trauma, 32-year-old Minister of Health Ye Qingshan was the first to donate blood.

After checking the blood type, Bai Qiu'en let Ye Qingshan and the patient's head and feet opposite lying on the bed, and took out a simple blood transfusion device. A skin tube with a needle was connected to the veins of the right and left arms where they were leaning closely together, and a three-way valve in the center of the skin tube had a syringe attached to the valve. Baeksuen passed the valve to Minister Ye, drew the pin, and the crimson blood flowed into the syringe, then turned the valve, and the blood flowed into the patient's body. Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and for the first time in the history of field surgery in the Chinese army, the field transfusion was a success.

The second patient was pushed in, and Bai Kou'en took the initiative to lie down beside the patient and said, "I'm O-type blood, draw mine." Bai Kou'en was thus praised by the masses as the "blood bank of the masses".

2, flood rescue

July 1939, a dozen consecutive days of heavy rainstorms so that the water level of the Tang River surged, flooding the village of Shenbei, Hebei County. Several old folks held him in a deadly grip, not allowing him to take risks. Bai Qun sighed hopelessly. The flood threatened the safety of the health school, and his superiors decided to move the school to Hexiyan.

When he found out about it, Bai Qiun immediately found the school and asked to join the commando. There was no ferry, so everyone used a large colander tied to a ladder as a means of transportation. Bai Qun and the commando boys jumped into the water, ten people in a row, arm in arm, a trip back and forth to transport the supplies.

3, focus on feelings

In the fall of 1923, 33-year-old Bai Kuren went to Edinburgh, England, to participate in the Surgical Society membership exams, and became acquainted with the 22-year-old British girl Frances. The two of them were married soon after he fell in love with Frances at first sight. A year later, Baines contracted tuberculosis. Bakun told his wife that death was coming to him, and that he could not infect his wife with tuberculosis, so he divorced her. Despite repeated "mobilization", but his wife Frances repeatedly refused. Bai Qun had to harden his heart to the court filed a petition for divorce.

November 1939, Bai Kou'en was infected with septicemia when he was rescuing wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. When his life was in danger, Bai Kouen wrote a letter to Nie Rongzhen and distributed his inheritance one by one to his comrades. He also remembered Frances. He asked the International Committee for China Aid to give his divorced wife a sum of money to live on, or to give ...... in installments, and asked that it be made clear to her that he was very sorry, and also that she be told that he had once been very pleasant.
