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

Haidian district also plans to present it in more languages and showcase it around the world, spreading Bussiere's story and spirit globally, according to Yu.

"Doctor Bussiere's internationalism, humanitarianism, bravery, excellent medical skills, and selflessness deserve to be remembered by people around the world," said Yu.

The translation of the play into multiple languages is being handled by teachers and students from Beijing Foreign Studies University. For many, this project offers a rare opportunity to explore a lesser-known chapter of history.

"Learning about Doctor Bussiere's selflessness and dedication has deeply inspired me. It makes me realize the importance of our work and motivates me to strive for excellence," said Wu Ziheng, a student involved in the translation.
