Bethune's Legacy Resonates with China's Youth

Warren Bethune, a relative of Dr. Norman Bethune and president of the Canada-China Friendship Association Toronto, visited China with his family during events marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. He highlighted Bethune’s spirit of selfless service, encouraging young people in 2025 to find purpose through action rather than words—a lesson still vital today.
