I only met Comrade Bethune once. Later, he wrote me many letters. But because I was busy, I only answered his letter. I wonder if he received it. I am very sad about his death. Now everyone commemorates him, which shows that his spirit is touching. We should all learn from his selfless spirit. From this perspective, you can be a person who is of great benefit to the people.
