Passage Three

The worldwide organization of the Red Cross（红十字会）stems from（源于）the idea of Henry Dunant, a Swiss banker. (17) In 1838, at the age of 10, Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison. There, he saw prisoners chained tighter exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road. This experience left a deep impression on him and made him determined to do something for convicts（囚犯）and slaves and for all who are oppressed（压迫）and deprived of（剥夺）their liberty. On 24th, June 1859, while on his way from Geneva（日内瓦）to France, Dunant witnessed（目击）the battle between the French and Austrian（奥地利的）armies . It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided a voluntary service have to be organized. (18) He gathered together a number of women who tended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons(外科医生)as best as they could. From that battle, Dunant determined to form a body of people who would rally（集合）together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying. (19) Dunant held that the suffering human being should be helped for his own sake only, without regard to（不管，不考虑）race, religion or political beliefs（信仰）. Many European states supported him and on 27 August, 1864, the first Geneva Convention（日内瓦公约）was signed. This lays down（拟定）that once a solider is wounded, he and everyone who comes to his help ceases to be an enemy. A symbol by which the relief workers could be recognized was devised. (20) As a tribute（尊敬）to Switzerland, the symbol was a Swiss flag reversed（颠倒）. That is a red cross on a white ground. So the Red Cross was born.
