李维汉——创建旅欧少年共产党

Rednet (Changsha): Li Weihan: the founder of Chinese Young Communist Party in Europe

　　1896年6月2日，李维汉出生于湖南省长沙县高桥镇学仕桥村。20岁时，他考入湖南第一师范，与毛泽东、蔡和森一道在长沙组织新民学会。

On June 2, 1896, Li Weihan was born in Xueshiqiao Village, Gaoqiao Town, Changsha County, Hunan. 20-year-old Li Weihan entered Hunan First Normal College, and organized Xinmin Society in Changsha with Mao Zedong and Cai Hesen.

　　1919年10月31日，李维汉和张昆弟、李富春等162人乘船自沪起航赴法勤工俭学（其中湘籍青年42人）。在法国，李维汉与蔡和森组织领导了求“生存权”和“求学权”的“二•二八运动”, 同周恩来、赵世炎等人组织创建旅欧中国少年共产党，投身改造中国与世界的斗争。

On October 31, 1919, Li Weihan and other 161 students (including 42 Hunan youths such as Zhang Kundi, Li Fuchun, etc.) sailed for France to work and study. In France, Li Weihan organized February 28th Movement striving for right to live and study with Cai Hesen, and initiated Chinese Young Communist Party in Europe with Zhou Enlai, Zhao Shiyan, etc.

　　1920年1月李维汉、张昆弟、李富春等人组织成立了一个笃信工读主义的团体———勤工俭学励进会（同年8月初，改名为工学世界社）。

In January 1920, Li Weihan, together with Zhang Kundi, Li Fuchun, etc., established an organization believing in part-time job for study, later known as Engineering World Society.

　　1922年底，李维汉回国工作，经中共中央批准，由毛泽东、蔡和森介绍加入中国共产党。

In the late 1922, Li Weihan returned to China and joined the Communist Party of China recommended by Mao Zedong and Cai Hesen.

　　后来， 李维汉和毛泽东等早期共产党领导人召开了举世闻名的‘八七’会议。

Later, Li Weihan called the well-known August 7th meeting with Mao Zedong and other earlier CPC leadership.
