Jean Augustin Bussiere
Jean Augustin Bussiere was a French military doctor who arrived in China in 1913 and stayed until 1954. In China, he first served as a doctor for the French mission, and went on to consult some Chinese politicians including Yuan Shikai.
He took part in establishing Shuguang Hospital in Shanghai. He was among the first foreigners to have witnessed the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, and secretly transported medicines to the Eighth Route Army during the war.
"I'm very proud of the humanitarian spirit of my father and I also believe that this can be a great example for the young people and doctors these days," said Jean-Louis Bussiere, his son, on Wednesday in Beijing.
"I believe it (the victory parade) is an occasion to help us remember the past suffering, but also a chance for the next generation to know by this example that you should not only resist aggression when it takes place, but in times of peace, you should also know how to keep peace and deliver it to the future generations," he added.
