On September 14th, the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto and Bethune Memorial House co-hosted a commemorative event themed Unbreakable Justice Beyond Mountains and Seas. Nearly 100 people attended the event, including members of the Bethune family, local government officials, Canadian friends and scholars, as well as representatives from local Chinese Canadian societies, media, and Chinese students in the consular district.

Consul General LUO Weidong reviewed the Commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and its significance, stressing that the Chinese people will never forget the internationalism written by Dr. Norman Bethune and other foreign friends on the main Eastern battlefield. China will always be a force for peace, stability and progress, and will work with other countries to uphold international fairness and justice to build a community with a shared future for humanity. The Consulate General is ready to join hands with people from all walks of life in the consular district to foster the great spirit of Dr. Bethune, continue the time-honored friendship between the two peoples, implement the Four Global Initiatives, and build a bright future of peace and cooperation between China and Canada.

During the event, the guests watched thematic videos and photo exhibition, listened to recitation of classic literary works such as In Memory of Norman Bethune, presented flowers at Dr. Bethune’s statue, and visited his former residence.
