What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Anything goes from prosperity to decay. Our history is also running under such a trajectory, the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms to pacify the world, but unfortunately the Qin Dynasty only experienced 2 emperors to end its history, and then the Han Dynasty, after experiencing countless generations of emperors, also ushered in its demise, this time, generation after generation of emperors began their efforts, but they could not change the demise of the dynasty. As the last dynasty in feudal history, it also plunged people into endless suffering. Because of the incompetence of the government, countless unequal treaties were signed, and countless ports were opened, so that the great powers could drive straight in.
The Qing Dynasty collapsed, so what did its successors do to change it? Yuan Shikai, as a leading figure in the new Republic of China period, went so far as to allow his warlords to be mighty and blessed, exploited the people in every way, and even imported cheap labor from the Western powers in order to curry favor with the Western powers. With good welfare, high salary, and low work intensity as bait, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were tricked out of the country, saying that they were digging coal to make money. But the fact is that these hundreds of thousands of workers can only dig coal silently abroad, there is no good salary at all, but coincidentally, these coolies have encountered opportunities, originally thought that they could only do so hard, but there are hundreds of thousands of French girls waiting for them. What's going on?
When these hundreds of thousands of peasants took dozens of hours of train to their ideal country of France, their daily life was to dig coal, and it was high-intensity coal digging day and night. In a foreign country, with no voice and no way to buy a ticket to return home, these people can only choose to continue digging coal in France, supporting their only belief in the idea of returning home. However, as a great power, it still pays great attention to the rights and interests of laborers, and as the contractor of the coal mine, he will also hold regular activities or holidays to let these farmers recuperate. Some of the capable ones even made small heads, and their lives were not very bad.
Originally these peasants thought that this was the end of their lives, and they could only dig coal in a foreign country, and suddenly there was a war, which changed the lives of these peasants. Because of the turbulent situation at that time, the great powers were competing for resources and occupying the territory, and the battlefield of the First World War was in France. The war lasted four years, with more than 1.5 million French soldiers killed on the battlefield, more than 10 percent of the French population at the time, and some of the territory was divided by Germany.
Such an outcome also brought with it the effects of a depopulation in France. Countless young girls of good age are waiting in the boudoir, not to mention the number of newborns. The decline in population is a very dangerous signal for the country, and in order to alleviate this problem, the government of the authorities has thought of this group of hundreds of thousands of foreign laborers. After discussions in the government at the time, French women were allowed to marry and have children with these laborers.
French women's white skin is beautiful, deep eyes, tall figure and unrestrained personality have won the hearts of many laborers at once, and many people have married daughters-in-law and lived a normal life. These hundreds of thousands of working people not only provided France with labor, but also eased their male-female ratio, and by coincidence, these people also had different opportunities for life in France. Some even went inside the French army to represent France in the war. In honor of these people, a monument was erected on Paris's Chinatown.
The story of this group of hundreds of thousands of laborers is not a good beginning, but the ending of this story is still very satisfactory. Therefore, for what happens in life, don't worry about the temporary gains and losses, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, this sentence still has its truth
