Adding virtual martyrdom to his heroic qualities, Bethune eventually died in the anti-fascist battlefield, from exhaustion and complications contracted from surgery. ＂What kind of spirit is this,＂ asked Mao Zedong in his famous 1939 article ＂In memory of Norman Bethune,＂ ＂that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese people＇s liberation as his own？＂

A Day in the Life of the Rev. Mei Kangjun

THE Reverend Mei Kangjun works in Shanghai. He recently went to Wuhan City in Central China to promote the Christian magazine Heavenly Wind, and to participate in a seminar on psychology consultancy. Judging from his position-executive deputy secretary general of the National Committee of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement of Protestant Churches of China, and from the articles he has written, I assumed he must be in his 70s. As it turned out, he is a scholarly man of 45. The morning we met, Mei Kangjun was to speak at a meeting to mark the third anniversary of a non-profit psychological consultancy center run by a Sister Luo in Wuhan University. Mei himself is a national grade-one psychology consultant. Before the meeting started, he talked with those of the guests that are university scholars and also members of Chinese psychological consultancy circles. Mei Kangjun's speech was entitled "caring for People with Love and Sympathy."A talk rather than a sermon, it began by comparing the similarities of pastoral care and counseling. He stressed that a psychology consultant must have love and sympathy, but must also be of high moral character. His humane, professional observations were warmly received. During lunchtime, Mr. Mei and psychologists from Wuhan University held in-depth discussions on academic issues relating to psychology consultancy.
