1. I'm thinking of some famous person, it can be a film actor, a philosopher, a president, a prime minister, a singer, fictional character, mafia man etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 1 guess per player per answer.

Norman Bethune was a Canadian doctor and member of the Communist Party of Canada. He saw disease as not only a physiological but a socioeconomic problem, and was a major advocate of free universal healthcare. He saw capitalism as a main cause of unnecessary suffering in the world, and devoted himself not just to serving the poor (to whom he provided care for free at his own expense) but to assisting world revolution. He served as a doctor in the Spanish Civil War for the anti-fascist forces, and later went to China where he served as a doctor for the Chinese Red Army during the war of resistance against the Japanese invasion. He is credited with bringing modern medicine to rural areas of China where it simply didn’t exist before, saving many lives. He died in China of an infection he incurred while performing surgery. After his death, he was personally eulogized by Chairman Mao Zedong, who called him a model of proletarian internationalism and said all communists should follow his example *. Though little-known in his home country of Canada now, he’s still famous in China, where there are statues of him and multiple medical schools named after him today.
