#寻找留法生后人 #
From the spring of 1919 to January 1921, there were 20 batches of more than 1,800 work-study students studying in France, who traveled thousands of miles and hardships in the Hanhai Sea, and embarked on the "French coast of the hometown of freedom". Among them, the youngest was 12 years old and the oldest was 54 years old, and many became early members of the Chinese Communist Party.
Decades later, among them appeared the premier of the new China, the marshal of the republic, the chief designer of reform and opening up, the nuclear physics scientist, the writer, the artist, the musician...
But with the exception of a few, many of the more than 1,800 students who studied in France are still unknown today. Their stories, too, have not been fully documented and told.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Headline Seekers, together with Southern Weekend, the crew of the CCTV large-scale documentary "Years of Studying in France", dozens of memorial halls and research institutions related to work-study in France, jointly launched the "Looking for Descendants of Students Studying in France" public welfare project, which will push some information about students who are not now known to people to their places of origin through geographical location precision pop-up technology to their places of origin and look for the descendants of these students who have studied in France.
We hope that through this search, we can restore the years of passionate study in France; after finding the descendants of the students who studied in France, we will also use their memories and narration to salvage the memories that have been flooded by history.
The relevant information of the students studying in France is summarized as follows, I hope you can help forward it and help find future generations.

Age in France: 20 years old
Date of arrival: 1920 (date unknown)
Other information: Secretary of the CPC Xiamen Municipal Committee, Secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, Secretary of the CPC Henan Provincial Committee. In February 1935, he was arrested in Kaifeng for betrayal by traitors, and was released to Nanjing, where he was tortured and died of his wounds.
The work-study movement began in 1912, in order to encourage young students to study in France at low costs and in the spirit of hard work, in order to achieve the purpose of popularizing education, improving society, and revitalizing industry, Li Shizeng, Wu Zhihui, Cai Yuanpei and other industrialists who studied in France initiated the organization of the Society for Studying in France and Thrift in Beijing, with the slogan of "ShangJian Lexue".
In June 1915, Cai Yuanpei and others organized the Work-study Society, with the purpose of being diligent in work, thrifty in study, and advancing the wisdom of laborers. On March 17, 1919, the first batch of 89 work-study students in France set off from Shanghai to France by Japanese mail ship.
The initiators of the work-study movement in France hope to import Western civilization, mainly Advanced European science and technology, and cultural knowledge into China, and they try to let Chinese youth master these knowledge and technologies through work-study, so that after returning to China in the future, they can use the methods of science to save the country, industry to save the country, and education to save the country.

The work-study movement in France has enabled a large number of Chinese youth to go abroad and come into contact with advanced foreign ideas. Advanced elements in the work-study institute, such as Zhou Enlai, Zhao Shiyan, Cai Hesen, Chen Yi, Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Nie Rongzhen, Deng Xiaoping, and Li Fuchun, took advantage of the favorable conditions in Europe to study Marxism and study the experience of the October Revolution in Russia, and successively became Marxists and made important contributions to the Chinese revolution. Zhu Xie, Lin Rong, Zheng Dazhang and other famous scientists, artists, musicians have studied and worked in France with this trend.
This green face reflects the heart of a child. They not only shine in the halls of science and art, but also become an important force leading China's revolution and modernization. The work-study movement in France has also trained and transported a large number of outstanding cadres and backbones for the CPC, and has also created a large number of pillars for China's scientific and cultural undertakings.
They are the ideal-seeking generation, the founders, builders and reformers of New China, and witness the great historical leap of the country from closed to open, from backward to rich and strong.
Looking back on the road, what historical memories have they left behind in their lives? What impact has it had on China today? Where are their descendants now, and how do they view the choices and achievements of their ancestors?
We hope that through this search, we can restore the years of passionate study in France; after finding the descendants of the students who studied in France, we will also salvage the memories that have been flooded by history through their remembrance and narration, through media reports.
