Canadians are still regarded very well in China because of Dr. Henry Norman Bethune, despite generations having gone by since his time there. Ignore the fact that he was a flaming red communist, just making the point that the Chinese culture has long memories.
And even today, in Communist China, the American members of the Flying Tigers are revered and memorialized.
He clearly lived his beliefs.
His last will in China was recorded shortly before his death, reading:
Dear Commander Nie, Today I feel really bad. Probably I have to say farewell to you forever! Please send a letter to Tim Buck the General Secretary of Canadian Communist Party. Address is No.10, Wellington Street, Toronto, Canada. Please also make a copy for Committee on International Aid to China and Democratic Alliance of Canada, tell them, I am very happy here... Please give my Kodak Retina II camera to comrade Sha Fei. Norman Bethune, 04:20pm, November 11th, 1939.[22]
