白求恩医生
诺尔曼·白求恩于1890年3月3日出生在安大略省格雷文赫斯特的一个镇里。他的第一份工作是在一所很小的,只有一间校舍的学校里当老师。诺尔曼是一位严厉的好老师。他所有的学生功课做得又快又好,而且上课很少捣乱。
在白求恩的一生中,他从来不是那种因为别人做什么而跟着做的人。换句话说,诺尔曼是很独立很有主见的。他在6岁时就显现出这一特点。一天诺尔曼步行到多伦多市,再返家中——总共有15公里的路程。他在大城市繁华的街道上散步,凝视着高楼和美丽的教堂,观赏着琳琅满目的商品店铺,开心极了。他没有想到家里父母由于他的失踪都快急死了。他们甚至打电话请警察帮助寻找诺尔曼。当他晚上8点返回家中时,他的父母如释重负,但对他的冒险旅行十分生气,重重地惩罚了他。
