In the depths of Culai Mountain in Laiwu, Shandong，There is a small mountain village called Shangyu。over 100 years ago，11 ordinary farmers walked out of the mountains from here，Assemble in Zhoucun，Going to the European battlefield of World War I via Qingdao。End of World War I，Ten farmers returned to the village to continue farming，And one of the farmers named Beatrice died in the war，Buried in the British Military Cemetery at Bolencourt in northern France。His descendants only found the burial place of their ancestors in recent years。Thousands of bet365 mobile betting like Bi Cuide were killed on the Western Front in Europe (according to statistics，A total of about 20,000 missing and dead bet365 mobile betting)，But only more than 2,000 people left tombstones。

European Western Front Battlefield，It is the work of Chinese laborers in World War I、Place of Sacrifice。During World War I，More than 140,000 bet365 mobile betting (hereinafter referred to as "bet365 mobile betting") - about 80,000 of whom are from Shandong - rushed to the European battlefield，For world peace and post-war reconstruction of Europe，Made significant contributions，Many people left their lives on that land。An ordinary Shandong village and the European battlefield on the Western Front are so dramatically connected but at a heavy cost of lives。

The Shandong Peninsula plays a decisive role in modern Sino-Western relations。Before the First World War，Germany in Shandong except Qingdao，It also extends its sphere of influence to the interior of the peninsula through the Jiaoji Railway，Obtain road construction rights and mining rights within 30 kilometers along the railway。Except English、Germany，There are still days、The United States is watching with eager eyes，Ready to intervene in Shandong at any time，As a strategic stronghold into the interior of China。The outbreak of World War I was regarded by Japan as an excellent opportunity to occupy Shandong。Japan went to war with Germany in October 1914 with the help of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance，Quickly occupy Jiaozhou Bay and control the Jiaoji Railway and the areas along it。This is the direct source of the outbreak of the May 4th Movement - Japan seized the rights and interests in Shandong and refused to return them，The powers at the Paris Peace Conference were in cahoots with each other、Might prevails over justice，Finally triggered strong protests from the bet365 mobile betting people。

But what is overlooked is，In Politics、Under the sword and shadow of diplomacy，There is another clue to public participation。More than 140,000 bet365 mobile betting since the second half of 1916，Going to the European battlefield one after another，"Replacing soldiers with work" has become a weak China to win international sympathy、Actively participate in the transformation of the new international order。This is the first time that ordinary Chinese people have stepped onto the international political stage with a positive attitude on a large scale。

People who are not familiar with the background of World War I，bet365 mobile betting in World War I are often equated with previous private labor immigrants such as going to Nanyang，In fact, the biggest difference between the bet365 mobile betting in the First World War was that they had an official background。The then Beiyang government had negotiated a contract with France and Britain in advance，bet365 mobile betting are guaranteed benefits in the form of "replacing soldiers with workers"。According to the contract，The wages of bet365 mobile betting are very attractive，In the initial stage, it will cost 20 yuan per month (10 yuan will be distributed to the families of bet365 mobile betting，10 yuan sent to individual bet365 mobile betting)。

Most of the bet365 mobile betting peasant workers are in a difficult situation to make a living，Go to Europe tempted by high wages，At the same time, there are also many literati and intellectuals (such as Sun Qian、Gu Xingqing, etc.) is to broaden their horizons、Those who studied Western knowledge and volunteered to go to Europe。Also，Recruitment targets people from Shandong，Climate conditions on the European Western Front、The physical characteristics of Shandong people are also related。Most Shandong people are tall and strong，Can endure severe cold，Compared to the high-intensity labor requirements of the battlefield，These factors have contributed to the movement of northern workers, mainly Shandong people, to Europe。

Weihai and Qingdao are the starting ports for bet365 mobile betting going overseas。At first it was because of the convenience of the British occupying Weihaiwei，The waiting place and departure port for bet365 mobile betting are located in Weihai，Because it is not on the main line of Jiaoji Railway，Large-scale labor transportation is not as convenient as Qingdao，Change to Qingdao as the departure port。Labourers recruited along the Jiaoji Railway have arrived in Qingdao to gather，Skilled bet365 mobile betting recruited from Shanghai and other places are also transported by sea to Qingdao before going overseas。The gathering and training place for bet365 mobile betting is a triangular piece of land in front of the original Dehua Silk Reeling Factory built in 1902，Not far from Cangkou Railway Station and port，It is very convenient for labor transfer and departure。

Dehua Silk Reeling Factory was founded by Germans，is the earliest light textile enterprise in Qingdao。1913，National capitalist Zhou Xuexi acquired Dehua Silk Reeling Factory，Renamed "Qingdao Huaxin Cotton Mill"。After the outbreak of World War I，The Zhou family took refuge in Tianjin，The factory was seized by the British businessman Hutchison & Co.。As the main base for recruiting bet365 mobile betting，Until the end of the war，After litigation，The factory was returned to its original owner。According to oral historical materials from descendants of the Zhou family，During World War I，More than 100 skilled workers from Huaxin Cotton Mill have been recruited to work on the Western Front in Europe，But it’s a pity，Few people know the final destination of these technologies after the war。

Such a large number of bet365 mobile betting went to Europe，It was originally a very important historical event，But so far，The Western world rarely mentions the sacrifices and contributions of Chinese laborers in World War I。This is a kind of selective forgetting，I have to say it is a deep regret。

Although from an individual point of view，Most bet365 mobile betting go to Europe because of their livelihood，But this does not mean that their contributions and sacrifices can be ignored and ignored。As viewed from an extended timeline，Although Shandong’s rights and interests were sold to Japan by the great powers in Paris，But this unresolved case was finally resolved at the Washington Conference。What’s interesting is，The recovery of Shandong’s rights and interests depends largely on the contribution of Huagong。Therefore，bet365 mobile betting go beyond the ordinary dimensions of immigrants or indentured labor，They have made significant contributions to the country, the nation and the world。Although they are not warriors，But it has the same and even more important and positive meaning of peace than warriors。

In fact，bet365 mobile betting have experienced the shock of the battlefield and participated in the education of bet365 mobile betting，Their ideas and concepts will inevitably change to varying degrees，Therefore we can no longer look at the main body of bet365 mobile betting simply。As a way to actively integrate into the post-war international order，bet365 mobile betting’ cultural contacts and exchanges during their large-scale journey to Europe，Shows a fresh and vivid national outlook，This is for both European and Chinese people，all had a strong impact。

As Yan Yangchu, who participated in the education work of bet365 mobile betting laborers in World War I, said，“Getting along with coolies，This is how we know the situation of coolies，Know the ‘pain’ of coolie and the ‘strength’ of coolie。Their physical strength is superior to ours，And the intelligence is not inferior to ours，The difference，Only educational opportunities”，“Seeing such workers who are so diligent in studying and forgetting to eat，It’s really embarrassing for us as college students”。This kind of ideological touch，Directly led to Yan Yangchu’s lifelong engagement in the “civilian education” and “rural construction” movements。

Kang Youwei, Lu Xun and others have all spoken highly of the contribution of bet365 mobile betting。1918，Cai Yuanpei proposed "labor is sacred" in his speech，This also marks a fundamental shift in the intellectual elite’s understanding of lower-class workers，Made China’s Enlightenment Movement have an obvious color of labor liberation from the beginning，The associated nation-state narrative and national consciousness also have newer forms。It is precisely because of the experience of bet365 mobile betting going to Europe，It inspired Mao Zedong and others to promote the work-study movement in France。While in Europe，Work-study students have had close contact with bet365 mobile betting，A group of bet365 mobile betting with progressive consciousness were influenced by the revolutionary ideas of Zhou Enlai and others，Grow into an early revolutionary，Like Yuan Zizhen、Ma Zhiyuan、Yan Shibin、Wang Qingtai and other progressive bet365 mobile betting have successively joined the European Youth League or the Communist Party of China。The work-study program in France had a crucial impact on the founding of the Communist Party of China。

The Flanders Field Museum collects the solidarity telegrams received by the Chinese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference before and after they refused to sign the contract，One of them comes from a Chinese worker named Feng Chi Ling。He said in the telegram，The Chinese delegation’s refusal to issue a visa is fully supported by the bet365 mobile betting，They can even give their own blood and lives if necessary。Therefore，At the historical moment of the May 4th Movement，Except domestic，In fact, we also got international workers across Eurasia、The enthusiastic support of young people。

November 11, 2018，The French government held a grand national commemoration event for the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris。At the commemoration ceremony，Dignitaries from many countries attended。For the first time, a Chinese girl reads the diary of Chinese translator Gu Xingqing，This marks that the contributions and sacrifices of bet365 mobile betting have been publicly and officially recognized by major European countries。In addition，France、Belgium and other countries have erected sculptures of bet365 mobile betting in different forms，The UK is also planning to set up a "Huabiao" in London，To commemorate the historical achievements of bet365 mobile betting。For China，Through the shock and reflection of World War I，The ideological and cultural structure of China has undergone fundamental changes，We also have a clearer judgment on the choice of the development path of modern country construction，People’s political participation in the country is becoming more and more common，Precisely in this sense，Modern China can be truly established。

Historical memory is the cultural structural force that no country can ignore to condense identity，Therefore，How to look back on the past，In fact, it is also related to how to build the future。But for a long time，Academic research on World War I focuses too much on the upper-level perspective，Like international politics、Paris Peace Conference、War process, etc.。Observations and descriptions of ordinary people，Especially the labor contribution，There is still a lack of compilation and evaluation with international value and historical depth，The rich correlation between World War I and China and its transformative significance in constructing modern thought and culture have not been deeply explored。In the context of building a community with a shared future for mankind in the new era，Strengthening research on bet365 mobile betting in World War I，Learn from history，Promote exchanges and dialogue among human civilizations，Obviously it has important academic value and practical significance。
