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

In 1923, Bussiere built a mansion compound in the Western Hills of Beijing, known as Bussiere's Garden, where he spent most of his time in China. It later became a free clinic, a Sino-French cultural salon, and an underground intelligence location for the CPC.

"We hope Doctor Bussiere's story can be passed on to more people, especially the younger generation. With moving images, singing, and music, shadow play can make our story more attractive and understandable to everyone, including children and international audiences," said Yu Peili, deputy director of the Haidian district cultural development promotion center.

After more than half a year's efforts, Bussiere at the Western Hills was presented to the public in Chinese, French, and English starting on Friday.
