De l'autre côté de la terre : la Chine = Na Shirong 那士榮 / Drs. Prosper M. Bernard and Prosper M. Bernard Jr.

The authors are Fr. Prosper Bernard's nephew and grand-nephew.

This book tells the story of Prosper Bernard, SJ (Na Shirong 那士榮, in Chinese), this man, this Jesuit, this Canadian priest who left in 1938 for the other side of the world to China, then troubled by a civil war and the Japanese invasion. He was killed on March 18, 1943, by a commissar of the Japanese occupation army with two other Canadian priests. In 1983, after forty years of silence, we resumed contact with the Catholics of Fengxian. We visited his burial site four times, where a magnificent monument was erected in 1990 in memory of these three Canadian Jesuits. This work aims to make known to Canadians, the Chinese, and all people of the world the life of this other Canadian who, like Norman Bethune, gave his life for the China he loved so much. This is why this book is being published at the same time in Chinese. The book also aims to talk about modern China, our relationship with the Catholics of Fengxian, and the new bonds of friendship created through business and education. (From introduction)
