"While the IJA conducts the “Winter Cleanup of the Jin-Cha-Ji” (Shanxi-Hebei border region), Canadian Doctor Reverend Norman Bethune perishes of septicemia while treating casualties of the Eighth Route Army. A veteran of the Spanish Civil War (where he developed mobile blood transfusion techniques) and First World War, Bethune brought modern medicine to the People’s Liberation Army. Bethune is venerated in modern China and in 2004 was voted among the greatest Canadians. "
