2. In 1923, A young nurse called
Kathleen Hall left her home in New

and remembering dead. It is a traditional
Chinese holiday. Qing Ming Day is also

6. Kathleen Hall had trained at Auckland Hospital to
offer herself for service as a missionary nurse. She
arrived in China in 1922 and began working in
remote villages of North China, becoming fluent in
the language. She believed it was important to help
those in need and it didn't matter whether they
were Christian or Communist. When the Japanese
invaded China, she carried medical supplies to the
Chinese army
Kathleen Hall was a New Zealand missionary nurse in China who was swept up in the
war against Japan. She nursed the sick and wounded, but time and time again she
smuggled medical supplies through the Japanese lines to Dr. Norman Bethune, the
Canadian surgeon who was in charge of medical services for the Chinese 8th Route
Army.
7. Kathleen hall was known as the Barefoot doctor because she would walk
through neighboring villages to visit the sick. She was able to travel freely
because she was not a Chinese citizen. But one day Doctor Bethune asked her
to use her freedom to travel through the Japanese territory for more than a
hundred miles to get medical supplies in other words risk her life. The Japanese
found out what she was doing eventually though and she was sent back to New
Zealand I think they saw her carrying medical supplies into the Chinese

9. BANDIT
by Courtney from Gainesville
My hero is a dog named Bandit. I consider her my hero
because she saved my life. One summer day when I
was out in the garden looking for frogs, I bent down to
look at what looked like a frog, but it was a curled up
SNAKE! Now, I was face to face with a real live copper
head snake. The next thing I know, I’m running to the
house. Bandit was whining. Once I reached the porch,
I realized Bandit had jumped in front of me and had
taken the snakebite for me.
I will do anything for her, because she saved my life,
and to me, that’s a true hero. Human or not!!!
