Back then, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were deceived into leaving the country, saying they were going to dig coal. Why were hundreds of thousands of French girls waiting for them?

As we all know, in the five thousand years of our country's long history, there have been many hard-working farmers, who used their hard work to contribute their own strength to their homeland.

Using this sentence from "Guan Mowed Wheat", "It is full of heat and earthy weather, and the back is scorching with the scorching sky" is a perfect way to describe the hard work of many farmers and people in our country. However, during the war, due to war and turmoil at home and abroad, many hardworking farmers lost their jobs and became unemployed.

Under the temptation of foreign powers and the deception of domestic people with ulterior motives, many farmers have become foreign workers and begun to work abroad in foreign lands. But they have no idea what kind of scam this is, let alone Know their future and what they will face. Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were deceived into leaving the country, saying they were going to dig coal. Instead, hundreds of thousands of French girls were waiting for them. What on earth was going on?

1. A turbulent country

The story takes place in the Qing Dynasty in 1840. At that time, the Western powers coveted our country and wanted to exploit the Qing Dynasty all the time. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty began to move towards semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. At that time, due to the Qing Dynasty's hundreds of years of seclusion and non-diplomacy with foreign countries, our country's science and technology, military strength and other fundamental strength of the country lagged behind the world. At this time, the great powers used strong and brutal means to knock open the door. The gate of the Qing Dynasty.

The great powers not only caused many disasters to China, but also used powerful means to threaten the dominance of the Qing Dynasty and increase the level of turmoil in the country. Due to its backward military strength, the Qing Dynasty was bound to lose every battle. Over time, it gradually gave up resistance and began to seek peace with the Western powers by sacrificing national interests.

After being invaded by Western powers, domestic conflicts intensified, the Revolution of 1911 began, the Qing Dynasty was fleeting, and our country also moved towards democracy and development. But the good times did not last long. The fruits of the Revolution of 1911 were stolen by Yuan Shikai, and the country was once again in turmoil. At this moment, the exploitative hands of the great powers reached out to our country again.

2. Exploitation of labor force by great powers

Why do great powers always like to exploit our country? Many people believe that the great powers have repeatedly exploited China just to sell marijuana, obtain supplies, and seize wealth. Although these are all correct, they have forgotten an extremely critical point, which is our country's abundant labor force.

In that era, domestic productivity was low, but the population was large. This resulted in many men without stable jobs and had to rely on odd jobs to make ends meet. Since the great powers were fighting everywhere, all the soldiers in the army were men. After years of fighting, the men suffered serious losses, and there was a huge gap in the labor force.

It is also for this reason that they have invaded our country many times. While taking away wealth, they also took away a large amount of labor force to fill the labor vacancies in other countries. Over the years, almost all the great powers have plundered a large amount of labor force in our country, and France has plundered the largest scale.

The first time France plundered labor in China was during the Beiyang Warlord period. At that time, France had serious labor shortages. In order to solve the labor gap problem, France decided at an internal meeting to cooperate with the Beiyang government to find a large number of workers in China and bring them to France to work in basic industries.

After seeing the huge benefits, the Beiyang warlords immediately agreed to the request for cooperation and began to deceive the Chinese people. In order to help France find labor, the Beiyang warlords began to look for cheap labor everywhere. They boasted about the good jobs abroad, fabricated numerous labor benefits, and deceived hundreds of thousands of our country's workers into France, where they began to be at the mercy of others.

3. Various experiences after being deceived into France

When hundreds of thousands of people arrived in France, they did not see any easy and simple jobs, but only various high-pressure labor and young people. of poor food. In a foreign country, they were assigned to work on various roads, railways, and coal mines. They worked hard for a long time, and sometimes they couldn't even earn enough to eat, which made people feel both pity and resentment.

Although these hundreds of thousands of people have suffered a lot in France, they can only seek happiness in their suffering and look forward to the date of their return to China. But the people in the country had no idea what happened to them. Under the propaganda of the Beiyang warlords, everyone thought they were living a good life in France and were very envious of them.

After World War I, the major powers suffered heavy losses, and France, which lacked male labor, was even more miserable.

After the war, the problem of serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women appeared in front of the world. Due to the war, hundreds of thousands of French girls lost their husbands and their families were ruined. Under such circumstances, there were few men in the country, which turned hundreds of thousands of French girls into single women in an instant, with no hope for the future.

In order to solve the urgent needs of hundreds of thousands of French girls, French senior officials decided to give Chinese workers who came to France a certain degree of freedom and allowed them to marry French girls.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of French girls have begun to choose their desired husbands, started to combine with these migrant Chinese workers, form families, and then start families. Although he married a French girl and had a family in France, he had no humanitarian aid and his life was still difficult, but at least he had something to rely on for happiness.

"After a hard encounter, the stars are scattered all around". This sentence from "Crossing the Lingding Ocean" is perfectly suitable to describe this matter.

With the country in turmoil, they were deceived into working hard in a foreign country. Faced with endless work and unsatisfactory food rations, they could only enjoy themselves in hardship and look forward to the arrival of hope. Fortunately, they were later allowed to marry French girls and start a family, which was probably the best consolation for them. The story ends here, so what do you want to say about the fact that hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were deceived into going abroad to dig coal, but what was waiting for them were hundreds of thousands of French girls?
