340 Moscow
When "Titanic" was selling well in the United States, Zhou Hexuan and others had already arrived in Moscow. There were many people accompanying www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, including Li Shizeng and his attachΓ©, Einstein and his female secretary, Le Corbusier and his assistants, and diplomats sent by Chiang Zuobin to Germany.
Although the Northeast Army and the Soviet Army temporarily ceased fighting, the contradictions were not really resolved.
In December 1929, Cai Yunsheng, the governor of Binjiang Province in the northeast and the negotiator of Harbin, signed the "Boli Agreement" with the Soviet representative Simanowsky. The Soviet side demanded: the Middle East Road should be restored to its pre-conflict state, all arrested Soviet nationals would be released, the Chinese side would disarm the White Russians who had taken refuge in the northeast and expel their leaders, and restore the consulates and commercial establishments of both sides. The two sides were scheduled to hold a meeting in Moscow in January 1939 to discuss how to implement the agreement.
Zhang Xueliang really wanted to settle the dispute as soon as possible, after all, the Soviet army was still stationed in the northeast, so it would be better to send these plague gods out as soon as possible.
But Chang Kaishen deliberately delayed, he was dealing with Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and other warlords, and he didn't want Zhang Xueliang to get involved, so he wanted to use the Soviets to drag Zhang Xueliang in the northeast.
As a result, the Nanjing Nationalist Government delayed sending diplomats to Moscow for negotiations, resulting in a stalemate in the situation.
The Soviet Union also had a headache, and the army had to spend money every day outside, and it was not a matter of dragging it out and not solving it. Under Chang Kaishen's deliberate delay, the Soviet Union had to withdraw its troops on its own initiative, but retained the occupation of border islands such as Black Blind Island - a border dispute that lasted into the 21st century.
In fact, if the Nanjing government sends people to Moscow to negotiate quickly, it is very likely that the Black Blind Island will be easily recovered. But for the sake of his own interests, Chang Kaishen didn't care about the life or death of the Northeast, and whether China's territory was occupied or not, his attention was on dealing with Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang.
Jiang Zuobin, the minister to Germany, as a diplomat officially appointed by the Nanjing government, was purely in a hurry for the emperor and the eunuch. This time, he actually concealed the domestic government and privately sent people to contact the Soviet Union, hoping to promote the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union.
Jiang Zuobin even asked Zhou Hexuan, hoping that he could have a dialogue with important Soviet officials and contribute to the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union. But Zhou Hexuan was not interested in this, because if the Nanjing government did not show an attitude, he said that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
After Japan invades Northeast China by force, it will be time for the Soviets to be anxious, and normal diplomatic relations will naturally be restored.
Zhou Hexuan's idea was to wait for a good opportunity, when the Soviet Union was eager to restore relations between the two countries, and perhaps it would be able to take back the Black Blind Island, so that the border issue would not be delayed until several decades later.
The Soviet government still attaches great importance to Zhou Hexuan, not to mention that Einstein and Le Corbusier are also accompanying him. As soon as they arrived in Moscow, the Soviet side immediately sent special personnel to accompany them and took them to visit factories, schools, farms, and other units.
In a Moscow secondary school, the Soviet official proudly said: "In the field of basic education, we provide free general and comprehensive technical education for children up to the age of 17, and we implement the method of closely integrating teaching with social production and labor. β
Li Shizeng asked in surprise: "In your country, free compulsory education has been extended to school-age children before the age of 17?" β
"Yes, the USSR was a country of working people, and the school of the USSR was also a school for working people." The Soviet official smiled.
Li Shizeng asked again: "How to combine education and labor?" β
The Soviet official said: "We divide all the knowledge that must be learned in school into three units: nature, labor, and human society, which is called a comprehensive syllabus. Education and social labor are closely linked, and we have established many engineering, engineering, economic, and other institutions of higher learning, which are able to train a large number of technical cadres at the grassroots level. Students who go out of school can immediately devote themselves to social work. β
"Your country's investment and execution in the field of education is truly amazing." Li Shi once sighed sincerely.
Li Shizeng also advocated the combination of education and labor, and in his and Cai Yuanpei's educational reform, labor education occupied a very important position, and even established a labor university, which was at the same level as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Suddenly, a teacher with dozens of students happily walked past the crowd and then drove away from the school in a sitting.
Li Shi once asked, "Where are these students going?" β
"Factories," said the Soviet official, "education in the USSR focused on labor practice, and students had weekly opportunities to come into contact with actual production." Before they graduated, they were already excellent operating technicians and engineers. β
Li Shi once turned around and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, the Soviet education model is worth learning from." β
Zhou Hexuan wanted to answer: Old man, don't be fooled by the Soviets!
But due to the presence of Soviet officials, this kind of thing is really difficult to say, and Zhou Hexuan can only hold it for the time being.
First of all, the situation of compulsory education that Soviet officials said was actually very watery. In many marginal areas of the Soviet Union at this time, compulsory education was not universal, let alone the age range was extended to children under 17 years of age.
Secondly, the comprehensive educational curriculum of the USSR seriously undermined the systematization of educational disciplines. All students came out of the assembly line, and even abolished the admission, entrance and graduation exams, and abolished the blood assessment of students, resulting in the quality of education being far inferior to that of the Tsarist period, and it was impossible to train great scientists.
Knowledgeable people in the Soviet education department were already aware of this serious problem and were planning educational reforms. However, there are still many problems, such as classifying a large number of workers' children as "intellectually backward" and "defective" and sending them directly to special schools, killing countless children. The role of teachers has also been infinitely reduced, and they have become machines that read from the book.
The situation did not improve until the end of World War II, especially after the end of the war, when the Soviet Union vigorously developed education and really perfected the communist education system.
The Soviet Union has taken a detour in education for nearly 30 years, and it is still in the initial stage of exploration. After such a hidden boast by Soviet officials, Li Shizeng actually felt envious, and he could only say that the old gentleman was too easy to fool.
Not only education, but also Soviet factories and farms amazed the accompanying Chinese. Everywhere there was a scene of great enthusiasm, the workers and peasants were full of energy, and everyone had the satisfaction and happiness of building the country on their faces.
Although these are model units, specially presented to foreigners, they are not completely fake.
Zhou Hexuan casually chatted with a few workers and farmers, and the tone of the other party seemed excited and genuine, they really believed that they were creating a better future.
The crowd was also invited to give a lecture at Moscow University, and the protagonist was Albert Einstein. Zhou Hexuan is only a side drum in front of the god Einstein, and it is enough to give face to be able to say a few words at school.
It was not until the day before they left Moscow that Stalin finally found time to meet them in person.
