"My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me," said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. His parents, David and Isabel Crook, played an important role in training a large number of foreign-language professionals for China. "The spirit of Bethune has not faded with time; instead, it has been widely inherited and carried forward in both China and Canada," said Hu Jinqiang, director of the North China Military Martyrs Cemetery. Hu noted that today Bethune is not just a name but a symbol of internationalism, humanism and selfless dedication. "We commemorate him to inspire more people to remember history and carry forward his spirit."

China: Passing of Canadian Surgeon – Norman Bethune [1890-1939] – Commemorated! (22.12.2024)

This year marks the 85th death anniversary of Bethune, who died of blood poisoning at the age of 49 on Nov. 12, 1939 in China while aiding the Chinese people in their fight against Japanese aggression. His remains were relocated to the cemetery in 1953.

The commemoration began at 10 a.m., with participants bowing before the surgeon’s tomb and presenting flower baskets.

“My father met Norman Bethune in Spain during his recovery from battle injuries. Influenced by him, my father aspired to come to China, where he met my mother and later had me,” said Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives.

The CPV Fought for Humanity!

Praising the Chinese People’s Volunteers [CPV] in the War Against US Aggression [1950-1953] to Aid Korea! (29.11.2024)

After the US and its ROK subordinates had provoked the North Koreans into taking retaliatory military action – a full-scale war erupted between the free DPRK and the colonised ROK! Perhaps the real reason the Labour Party would not fully commit the British Army in 1950 in Korea is because it was already committed around the world! As matters transpired, a relatively small token British Force was sent to fight in Korea – invading DPRK territory. It was quickly smashed by the CPV. Indeed, a number of British POWs, as working class men, chose to stay in North Korea (or China) when given a choice after the war. Many are still there – but we are not taught about this in the West. The North Korean People’s Army and the CPV fought in very difficult circumstances against a much better armed and supplied Western opponent. They died in their hundreds of thousands in defence of Socialism!

Each Chinese Body is Identified!

War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea [1950-53]: PLAAF [Y-20] Aircraft to Retrieve Remains of Chinese Soldiers! (28.11.2024)

The Y-20 with the number 20048 took off from an airport in Central China on Tuesday afternoon to carry out the mission of retrieving the 11th batch of the remains of CPV martyrs from South Korea, the PLA Air Force announced in a post on its official WeChat account on Tuesday.

Recently, China’s Ministry of Veterans Affairs and South Korea’s Ministry of National Défense reached an agreement on the handover of the 11th batch of remains of CPV martyrs in South Korea. The South Korean side will hand over the remains of 43 CPV martyrs and related belongings to the Chinese side on Thursday, according to the PLA Air Force.

For this mission, the troops have prepared the cabin layout of the aircraft to ensure that the repatriation mission meets the highest standards, the PLA Air Force said.

Russia & DPRK Are Good Allies!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Exploring the Issue of “North Korean” Troops in Russia! (25.11.2024)

North Korea’s Foreign Military Aid strategy has historical roots, and is perfectly normal for that country. During the Vietnam War, North Korea sent a Fighter Squadron to support its Communist ally North Vietnam; during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, North Korea sent Pilots to fly Egyptian fighters; during the Iran-Iraq War, North Korea sent Military Instructors to support Iranian troops. Along with Cuba, North Korea supported the People’s Liberation Army of Angola against the Apartheid Regime of South Africa; North Korea has also provided military aid to other African countries, including Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Long Live Horses and Shoes!

Celtic-Chinese – Time for the Horse-Shoe Feng Shui! (2.11.2024)

In return, we often march carrying the Red Flag of China in the UK – on the grounds that it belongs to humanity and the Working Class of the World! Due to fascism in the UK, the population is riddled with confusion and race-hate – what Marx termed a “false consciousness”. Difference is not a threat and should not be viewed as such. When you think of it, the Chinese people have so much to hate the West – and the British – about, but racism, (particularly retaliatory racism) is completely lacking in China (outside the false imaginings of the China-haters)! Superstitions are pointless, of course, but they can be fun! Horse-shoes are “good luck” – just like the Feng Shui placards the Chinese use!

All 56 Ethnicities in China Are "Equal" in Law!

China: Socialist “Internationalism” Triumphs! (17.6.2024)

In an article by Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, that was published in January in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee, he said that forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is to guide people of all ethnic groups to uphold the vision of a community with a shared future by standing together through thick and thin.

“Ethnicity is the concept in terms of language and culture, and the Chinese nation is the political entity that all Chinese people belong to, no matter which ethnic group they are from,” Pan said.

By enhanced extensive exchanges and interactions during the past 10 years, people from different ethnic groups in China have learned more about one another and become more united, which has brought stability and prosperity to the country, he added.
