On 115 years ago today, on October 30, 1910 (September 28, 1910 in the lunar calendar), Henry Dunant, founder of the International Red Cross, passed away. Between the pines and cypresses in Zurich, Switzerland, there is a white marble monument. On the front of the monument there is an embossed of a white-clad soldier who is kneeling to feed water to a wounded soldier on the verge of death; On the back of the monument are several lines: Joan Henry Dunant 1828- 1910 Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, was born in Geneva in 1828. He died on October 30, 1910 in Hayden, Switzerland, at the age of 82. When he was a young man, Du Nan had deep sympathy for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled at the bottom of society and advocated the abolition of slavery. In 1859, he came to Solfrino, coinciding with the final stages of the Battle of Solfrino in the Italian-French War directly commanded by Napoleon III. There, he saw the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the land. Some of the dying wounded struggled, pulling on his trousers and screaming: "Water! Give me water quickly!" This tragic scene made Dunan immediately devote himself to the work of rescuing the wounded. In 1862, Dunant wrote a book based on this experience: "Remembrance of Solfreno." In the book, he vividly describes the tragic scene of the death of wounded people due to lack of medical care, and proposes: enacting laws to ensure that prisoners of war are treated in a humanitarian manner; and creating permanent organizations of volunteer rescuers in countries around the world, regardless of race, nationality, religious beliefs and political beliefs to rescue the wounded. Dunan's book and initiatives immediately aroused strong responses and were translated into various languages and spread throughout Europe. Princes, heads of state of some countries, and even Napoleon III, who personally experienced the Battle of Solfrino, expressed support for this. In early 1863, the Geneva Society for Public Welfare studied Dunant's initiative and decided to establish a five-member committee including Dunant. Later, Dunan traveled in 14 countries to promote his ideas, which finally led to the historic meeting held in October of the same year. 36 people from 15 countries attended the meeting, which proposed the establishment of a civilian rescue group. In order to pay tribute to Dunant himself and commend the host country, Switzerland, for its contribution to the conference, the delegates unanimously agreed to use the Swiss flag as the symbol, but change the color to the opposite white background with a Red Cross in the middle, and name it "International Red Cross". The following year, initiated by the Swiss government, a diplomatic conference attended by representatives of 16 governments was held in Geneva and signed the Convention on Improving the Conditions of Wounded Soldiers in the Field. Since then, wounded soldier rescue organizations have been established in various countries. Today, the Red Cross Movement has been carried out in more than 170 countries around the world, and the Red Cross Society has become one of the three major organizations in the world. Dinan devoted everything to the cause of rescue. He exhausted his assets and his business went bankrupt in 1867. Later, he lived in a slum in Paris and slept on a bench in a train station because he could not afford the rent. At the age of 62, he founded a workhouse for the elderly in Hayden, Switzerland. The founder of the International Red Cross won the first Nobel Peace Prize in 1901.
