The first batch of international students who have been admitted to the "Zhou Hexuan Study Abroad Foundation" will board the ship at the Shanghai wharf. The first group of students were Stayers, about three-quarters of them, most of whom went to France for work-study, and the latter group went to the United States, and both groups boarded the ship this morning.

The youngest of them is only 18 years old, and the oldest is 35 years old.

To be honest, Zhou Hexuan provides very little funding for studying abroad, even if he is not a work-study student, he must rely on family sponsorship, or work part-time to support his study abroad life.

But this is the norm, and it seems that their enthusiasm for studying abroad cannot be weakened. During the Republic of China, people often borrowed a few hundred yuan and dared to go abroad to Europe and the United States. After the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the Japanese students sent by the government were clamoring to strike and return to China, and their first request to the Nanjing government was to give some money so that they could buy tickets back to China.

Tong Dizhou carried a large box and stood silently in the middle of the team. A total of 28 students in his class as a teaching assistant registered for the exam, but only he and another student were admitted, and both of them could only stay in France to study part-time.

Although the international students lined up, they were not neat, standing on the dock crookedly, and the carry-on luggage they carried was also varied.

The team next to them was much more formidable, although there were only a few people, but they were all straight. The uniform clothing and uniform luggage show a solemn and majestic atmosphere - the Whampoa military academy students who are sent to study in Germany (funded by the Kuomintang Party Department).

Suddenly, an international student shouted, "Mr. Zhou and Mr. Cai are here!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and even those Whampoa cadets looked over there curiously.

Cai Yuanpei and Zhou Hexuan walked side by side, talking and laughing, but they didn't know what they were talking about. When he came to the team of international students, Cai Yuanpei said: "Mingcheng, let me tell you a few words." ”

Zhou Hexuan looked at the shabby-dressed but energetic students, and said with emotion: "I have nothing to say, you are the future of China, I hope that after you go abroad, you will study hard and learn professional knowledge to serve the motherland; Second, it is necessary to safeguard the country's reputation and not do things that steal chickens and dogs, violate laws and disciplines. The country is very difficult now, and my personal ability is limited, so the funding for studying abroad is not much, and you have worked hard. ”

"It's not hard!"

"Mr. Zhou has a lot of money, and we are very grateful."

"All you need is a ticket."

“……”

The international students responded one after another, they were telling the truth, and they really only needed a ferry ticket. Especially in France, many types of schools are free of tuition fees, and they can fully maintain their studies by relying on work-study, which is the main reason for the large number of students studying in France in the 20s.

As for Zhou Hexuan's annual donation of 160,000 oceans to fund study abroad, it is ridiculous to say that he has more money than the central government.

Let's take a look at the funding for public students in China this year, the International Student Supervision Office in Japan (staying in Japan) is 47,600 yuan, and the general study abroad fund (in Europe and the United States) is 33,996 yuan, which adds up to less than 100,000 yuan (the study abroad funds of Huangpu military academy students are not included in it).

This is the entire China's public study abroad fund for a year, and the government often spends tens of millions of dollars on military expenses when it fights a war.

However, Tsinghua University is the most popular, although the funds for studying in the United States have been exhausted, but the total amount of funds for studying in the United States is still left. Tsinghua President Luo Jialun did a great thing, he succeeded in making the U.S. Geng money no longer go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but directly into Tsinghua University's account.

If the money continues to be held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the devil knows what it will be misappropriated for, and it may even be enriched by some people.

Last year, Tsinghua University's study abroad fund was 0 yuan, and after receiving Geng money directly this year, how much is Tsinghua University's study abroad fund?

695,060 yuan!

Nearly 700,000 oceans!

Tsinghua University's spending on studying abroad is more than seven times that of government funding, which is unimaginable.

With such sufficient funds, international students are naturally treated better, and they can complete their studies without having to work at all. Therefore, the best students in the country have all gone to apply for Tsinghua University study abroad funds, and those who applied for the "Zhou Hexuan Study Abroad Fund" belong to the weaker batch.

However, Tsinghua University gives priority to students from its own school, and all of them are guaranteed places, and students from other schools can apply for very few.

After Zhou Hexuan and Cai Yuanpei each spoke, Zhou Hexuan went over to shake hands with the students one by one, and he kept saying: "Study hard and serve the motherland!" ”

"Remember, students!" The faces of the international students were solemn and excited.

After shaking hands, Zhou Hexuan walked to the Huangpu Military Academy students next to him, and said with a smile: "Commanders, I will also see you off." ”

"Don't dare," a military cadet took two steps forward and respectfully saluted Zhou Hexuan, "In Xia Chen Jiesheng, the fourth phase of Huangpu Buke, I have seen Mr. Zhou." ”

"Hello, I hope you can succeed in your studies in Germany and contribute to the country." Zhou Hexuan said.

Chen Jiesheng stomped his feet and stood upright: "Don't dare to burn out for a day!" ”

This Chen Jiesheng is not simple, he is a member of the Sichuan Party Affairs Guidance Committee of the Kuomintang Party, which is equivalent to a member of the Standing Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee of the Kuomintang Party. It's a pity that there are many warlords in Sichuan, and he doesn't listen to the propaganda, and he, a member of the provincial Standing Committee, doesn't have much real power.

Chen Jiesheng was obviously very much used by Chang Kaishen, and this time he went to Germany to study economics, statistics, and international public law, and later became the head of the Berlin branch of the Fuxing Society (one of the predecessors of the Blue Coat Society). After returning to China, he became the director of the Education Department of the Central Party Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and held important positions in the Fuxing Society, the Three Youth Leagues and the Central Union, and belonged to the real power figures in the "Jinyiwei" system of the Republic of China.

The Whampoa Military Academy students who can be sent by the government to study abroad belong to the key training objects of the Kuomintang, and none of them are vegetarians.

No, Zhou Hexuan's second handshaker is called Yu Dawei, this person is not a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, but he is a Harvard doctor, Chen Yinke's cousin, and Zeng Guofan's great-great-grandson. This time, he went to Germany to study at a military academy, and also served as the commercial commissioner of the Central Army, responsible for purchasing military equipment from Germany.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I often read your "Chrysanthemum and Knife". Yu Dawei is much more casual, and his words and deeds are not as rigid as Chen Jiesheng's.

"Hello Brother Yu, I will have time to communicate more in the future." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Dawei was in charge of the weapons and equipment of the national army, and later took the lead in the development of the atomic bomb, and sent many scientists to the United States to study (including Hua Luogeng, Li Zhengdao, Zhu Guangya). It's just that the Kuomintang doesn't have so much money to engage in scientific research, and Yu Dawei's atomic bomb program can only be stranded, but it has contributed talents to New China's atomic bomb building. Zhu Guangya, who was sent by him to study in the United States, was awarded the "Two Bombs and One Star" Meritorious Service Medal of New China.

Zhou Hexuan sent all the international students on the ship before opening the list of study abroad funds. He didn't know most of these people, but there were a few who were more familiar, in addition to Tong Dizhou, there was also a work-study person named Nie Er who went to France for work-study.
