青年毛泽东的赴法勤工俭学朋友圈

Rednet (Changsha): The Work-study Circle of Friends in France of Young Mao Zedong

　　猎猎风中，青年毛泽东几次在黄浦江畔，为赴法勤工俭学的中国青年和他的新民学会朋友送行。青年毛泽东赴法勤工俭学的朋友圈，除了主义、政党、革命这些热词，还有青春、热血和爱情。

Young Mao Zedong would see off Chinese youth and Xinmin Society friends to work and study in France at the Huangpu River for several times. During the work-study circle of friends in France of young Mao Zedong, there emerged communism, the Communist Party of China, revolution, but also youth, passion and love.

　　毛泽东留在国内研究本国问题，蔡和森去了法国小镇蒙达尔纪。1920年下半年至1921年初，正是在蒙达尔纪，蔡和森在与毛泽东的通信往来中首提“中国共产党”。在中国共产党的创建史上，“毛蔡二子”协力建党功不可没。

Mao Zedong stayed in China to study Chinese revolution, while Cai Hesen went to Montargis, France. Both of them contributed great to the founding of the Communist Party of China. From the second half of 1920 to the early 1921, Cai Hesen mentioned the Communist Party of China for the first time in his letter to Mao Zedong.

　　1918年4月，毛泽东同萧子升、蔡和森（人称“湘江三友”）在长沙发起成立的新民学会，成为这个倡导留法勤工俭学运动的中坚力量。这使得湖南成为当时留法勤工俭学运动开展得最好的省份之一。新民学会其他18个有志有为的青年包括何叔衡、陈绍休、萧三、邹蕴真、张昆弟、陈书农、邹彝鼎、周明谛、叶兆桢、罗章龙、陈昌、李维汉、周世钊、罗学瓒、熊光楚、曾以鲁、傅昌钰、彭道良等。

In April 1918, Mao Zedong, Xiao Zisheng and Cai Hesen, known as Top 3 talents in Xiangjiang region, launched Xinmin Society in Changsha. Other 18 aspiring youths included He Shuheng, Chen Shaoxiu, Xiao San, Zou Yunzhen, Zhang Kundi, Chen Shunong, Zou Yiding, Zhou Mingdi, Ye Zhaozhen, Luo Zhanglong, Chen Chang, Li Weihan, Zhou Shizhao, Luo Xuezan, Xiong Guangchu, Zeng Yilu, Fu Changyu and Peng Daoliang. Xinmin Society became the dominant force of advocating the work-study movement in France, and thus Hunan became one of the best provinces carrying out work-study movement in France at that time.

　　1920年7月初，新民学会会员从法国各地先后来到蒙达尔纪，开了五天会议。会上蔡和森提出了以“改造中国和世界”为学会的方针，得到了大家的赞成。

In the early July, 1920, Xinmin Society members across France came to Montargis for a five-day meeting. Cai Hesen proposed the guideline of “Transformation of China and the World” at the meeting.

　　1920年5月，蔡和森和向警予在法国宣布结合，其结婚照为二人并肩同读一本《资本论》，昵称“向蔡同盟“。他们是中共历史上惟一一对能够同时进入中央政治局的夫妻。蔡和森是提出要“建立中国共产党”和主张“无产阶级暴力革命”的第一人；向警予则是第一位女中央委员。

In May 1920, Cai Hesen and Xiang Jinyu married in France, and their wedding photo depicted their reading Das Kapital side by side. Xiang-Cai marriage enables them to be the only couple who entered the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in the history of the Communist Party of China. Cai Hesen is the first to propose the founding of the Communist Party of China and to advocate violent revolution of the proletariat; Xiang Jingyu is the first female member of the Central Committee.

　　近百年后，湖南和蒙达尔纪再相逢。湖南已在蒙达尔纪买下李石曾故居，并计划将其改造成中国赴法勤工俭学纪念馆。

About one hundred years later, Hunan came across Montargis again. Hunan governments buy the former residence of Li Shizeng in Montargis, and plan to transform it to be the memorial hall of Chinese youths working and studying in France.
