This book is a tribute to Father Prosper Bernard, S.J., who became in China, Na Shi Rong Shen Fu. This Canadian Jesuit priest went to China in 1938. At that time, China was beset by a civil war and the Japanese invasion. Father Bernard was arrested in Taolou, on December 8, 1941, after Pearl Harbor and the American and Canadian declaration of war against the Empire of Japan. In March 1943, after fifteen months of detention, Prosper Bernard and two other Canadian priests, Alphonse Dubé and Armand Lalonde, were executed by a Japanese commissioner in Fengxian, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province for having saved a school.
In 1983, forty years later, his nephew, Dr. Prosper Bernard and his wife Francine, made contact with the Catholics of Fengxian. Since then, usually accompanied by his wife, he has visited his uncle's burial place many times and developed a warm friendship with the people of Fengxian, Taolou, and Xuzhou. This book, also available in Chinese and in French, shows how Father Prosper Bernard sacrificed his life for China, as had, before him, Dr. Norman Bethune, a famous Canadian physician, who remains to this day beloved and revered in China. The book also explains the modern China and gives foreigners guidelines about how to do business there successfully. * Available in French: De l'autre côté de la terre: la Chine Prix: $44.95 |
