Note from RedLibrary: This is a preface written by the Communist Party of Peru before their presentation of the 1939 work “In Memory of Norman Bethune” by Mao Zedong.
Now we are spreading, both within the country and abroad, Chairman Mao Zedong’s document from Volume II, In Memory of Norman Bethune, as part of CIPO,1 and (...) the study order. It is important to understand that these teachings from the Chinese Revolution, which Chairman Gonzalo applied here in our country, were also applied by the PCP in the Health Departments and during the III Plenum. Chairman Gonzalo emphasized the role of healthcare, and within the PCP, many doctors of a new kind have sacrificed their lives, dedicating their work to the revolution and the true transformation of the world. In tribute to them and to Comrade Norman Bethune, we reaffirm our commitment to provide support when the People’s War requires it, knowing that blood does not drown the revolution, it waters it. Their dedicated lives serve as standards that illuminate the victorious path of the triumphant revolution. Today, in the General Reorganization of the Party, we continue with a high level of communist commitment and sacrifice.
