January 1, 1865, New Year's Day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ.. In the living room of the bungalow where the London Chinese Work-Study Society is located, a group of young people who have come to participate in the New Year's tea party are gathering. Of course, these young people are Chinese students studying in the UK, not only from the Ming Empire, but also some from the Ming vassal countries, but here in the UK, they are all part of the Chinese students. Some of them are self-financed students from wealthy families, and some are international students sponsored by various educational foundations of Daming. But most people came to England thanks to the work-study movement. Compared with history, the work-study movement in this time and space has really reached the point of grand scale, although it is not vigorous.

The sport has been in its infancy for eleven years. The funds raised were as high as 40 or 50 million silver dollars! With the help of the Work-Study Society, there are even more than 30,000 young people who have gone abroad to study, accounting for more than 60% of the entire Daming people studying abroad. And Hu Zhenguo, who initiated and led this movement, was also canonized as a viscount by the Ming Emperor - the progress brought by 30,000 students to the Ming Empire is far more than 30,000 elite soldiers, right? So Hu Zhenguo's viscount should be the one who should be. It's just that Viscount Hu, who was determined to carry out a republican revolution to overthrow the Ming Dynasty when he was young, always felt that he had become the Zheng Guo who repaired the Zheng Guoqu.

However, just when he, the "revolutionary forerunner", had abandoned revolutionary ideas and returned to the original face of a conservative aristocratic bourgeoisie. The spark of revolution was unconsciously born among Chinese students in Europe. Today, in the corner of the living room of this spacious and tidy bungalow, dozens of young people are gathering in a small circle. A young man who spoke Ningbo Mandarin was talking about something in a low voice.

“…… Oxford, Cambridge is of course good. Does it have anything to do with us? What do we want to do in the UK if we want to pass the Oxford and Cambridge exams? It's not enough to stay in China and go to Kaojishi University. The level of Jishi University is no worse than that of Oxford and Cambridge. Even Westerners themselves believe that each has its own merits, and there are still many Westerners who study abroad in the Faculty of Medicine, Chemistry, and Biology at Jesei University.

In addition, there are scholarships and student loans at Khao Ji Shi University, so it basically doesn't cost much to study, and you can pay it back slowly after graduation. But we don't have that high grades, do we? So we can't be too ambitious when we go to Europe, Oxford, Cambridge and the like. Since the beginning of the work-study movement, no less than 30,000 students have come out, and less than 300 have been admitted to this kind of first-class European university. Therefore, Brother Foolish, as a person who has come over, advises you, it is not easy to come out. You have to learn some real skills in a down-to-earth manner. As for what school to go to, it is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to be able to learn, and the tuition is cheaper.

It just so happens that Brother Fool has a way here, which is to go to school in the Republic of Poland. The Warsaw College of Agricultural and Industrial Cadres is a joint venture between the International Workingmen's Association and the Government of the Republic of Poland to train talents in agriculture and industry, and the level of education is extremely guaranteed. The school also has low tuition fees, several subjects are free of charge, and there is also the opportunity to work and do an internship at the Polish Agricultural Cooperative. You can earn tuition. Don't miss this opportunity! ”

The one who is talking. Of course, it is Jiang Zhaocong, the Chinese correspondent secretary of the International Workingmen's Society. He had now just graduated from a third- or fourth-rate British merchant marine school, a short-term training course for the training of engineers for steam sailing ships. Because steam sailing ships are replacing the original sailing ships in recent years, a large number of turbine operators and maintenance personnel are required. Merchant marine schools all over the world offer such short-term training courses. However, after learning to operate and repair steam engines, Jiang Zhaocong did not seek a lucrative job on a merchant ship. Instead, he became the head of the London admissions office of this Warsaw Workers' and Peasants' Cadre School, specializing in fooling Chinese students to go to school in Poland.

Warsaw School of Workers and Peasants Cadres...... It sounds so high-end. Of course, it was Marx and Bakunin who opened the school for the training of revolutionary cadres. It's a bit like the historical Moscow University of the East, but it's not quite the same. This is because the Warsaw School for Workers' and Peasants' Cadres is not a political academy that trains only revolutionary cadres, but a comprehensive college that trains both specialists and undergraduates in light industry, commerce, service and agricultural technology. In addition to the revolutionary youth from all over the world, Polish students were also recruited.

Most of the faculty at this institute came from Germany and Russia, although they all had revolutionary backgrounds. But the level was absolutely guaranteed - the German and Russian revolutionaries of this era were mostly great intellectuals, and now most of them were gathered in Poland, and there was nothing important to do, so they were all assigned to teach in this college.

The principal and vice-principal of the school are Alexander from Russia. Ivanovich. Herzen (graduated in Philosophy and Science from Moscow University) and Wilhelm Brown from Germany. Liebknecht (graduated from the universities of Giessen, Berlin and Marburg). Leaders of the International Workingmen's Association, including Marx, Engels, Bakunin, Chernyshevsky, etc., also taught part-time in the school.

Hearing that they had the opportunity to go to school for free, the young people around Jiang Zhaocong suddenly became a little energetic and asked questions one after another. Since these people will come out to work and study, they are naturally not the children of a big family. If you have money in your family, you don't have to work and study.

"Is there a good thing about studying without paying for tuition? Mr. Jiang, tell us quickly, what disciplines are there? ”

"Mr. Jiang, is this Polish agricultural and industrial school easy to examine? Do you want to know Polish? We don't even speak English, and we don't know Polish at all. ”

Jiang Zhaocong replied with a smile: "The Polish Peasant and Worker Cadre School is not completely free, it depends on the specific subject. However, even the fees are very cheap, much cheaper than schools in Britain and France. As for the language, there is no need to worry, the Polish School of Peasants and Workers has French classes and a preparatory department. You can still speak a few words of French, right? If you go to the preparatory department for a year and a half, are you afraid that you will not be fluent? ”

In this era, foreign language teaching in the Ming Dynasty was mainly based on French. From middle school, they have to learn French, and these young people who go to Europe for work-study are generally middle-class students in Daming New Middle School, and they can speak a little French. And the teachers of the Warsaw Workers' and Peasants' Cadres School in Poland are even more proficient in French -- how can they be embarrassed to say that they are intellectuals if they cannot speak fluent French in Russia and Germany these days?

"As for the subjects of the Warsaw Workers' and Peasants' Cadre School in Poland, they are divided into junior colleges and undergraduates." Jiang Zhaocong crossed his fingers to introduce the young people around him, "Among them, the specialties include machinery, light industry, commerce, agronomy, animal husbandry, engineering, medicine, veterinary, food industry, coal mining, and so on. Undergraduate studies include philosophy, history, linguistics, mathematics, sociology, and so on. The level of education is very good, and many professors are from Russia and Germany. The undergraduate course is free, and the specialist course charges a very low tuition fee, about £50 to complete the preparatory course. You can also earn at least £40 through an internship. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and now the Warsaw School for Workers and Peasants Cadres has just opened, which is a big opening reward, and it is easy to get into. If you become famous in a few years, it will be difficult for you to read it again, and it will not be free. ”

Hearing him say this, the buzzing voice began to sound again. They are all young people who want to take the exam at the Warsaw Workers' and Peasants' Cadre School in Poland and are making suggestions. Over the years, more than 30,000 Chinese young people have gone to Europe for work-study programs, and many of them have failed to find an opportunity to go to school, and finally returned to their hometowns. Therefore, the attraction of this Warsaw Workers' and Peasants' Cadre School to young people in Europe can be imagined. Although it is impossible to turn every single one of them into a revolutionary, as long as there are hundreds or thousands of revolutionary youth, the era of the Chinese workers' movement can probably begin, right? Thinking of this, the corners of this Mr. Jiang's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile. (To be continued.) )
