Shadow play in three languages honors French doctor's service to China

A shadow play presented in three languages, namely Chinese, English and French, named Bussiere at the Western Hills, was staged on Friday, depicting the story of Jean Augustin Bussiere, part of China's ongoing tribute to the French doctor who saved many Chinese lives and helped them fight against Japanese fascists.

Jean Augustin Bussiere (1872-1958), a French doctor who practiced in China from 1913 to 1954, saved many lives without fee and risked his life along "the hump route by bike," crossing the lines of the invading Japanese army to support the Chinese resistance during the World War II.
