  蒙达尔纪是巴黎南面百公里外有近千年历史的美丽小城。风景秀丽，建筑古朴美观，绿树鲜花环绕，恬静而充满诗意。 
Montargis is a town of thousands years of history in a suburb south of Paris. Due to its numerous canals and bridges, Montargis sometimes bills itself as the "Venice of the Gatinais." Though quite modern, it retains a medieval charm in its downtown area.

  20世纪20年代，这里热情接纳了数百名前来勤工俭学的中国青年，他们之中有邓小平、{MOD}、陈毅、赵世炎、蔡和森、向警予、陈延年、陈乔年、刘伯坚、王若飞、李维汉、{MOD}、{MOD}等。近百年过去，蒙达尔纪人没有忘记中国青年在此勤工俭学的历史。

Montargris is a nearly one-thousand-year-old beautiful town, 100 km away from Paris in the south. In 1920s, hundreds of Chinese youths came here for work and study, including Deng Xiaoping, Li Fuchun, Chen Yi, Zhao Shiyan, Cai Hesen, Xiang Jingyu, Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Liu Bojian, Wang Ruofei, Li Weihan, Cai Chang, He Changgong, etc. 

    从1919年初到1920年底，全国赴法勤工俭学的人员有1600余人，其中湖南青年346人。而新民学会78名会员中去法国的有蔡和森、萧子升、张昆弟、李维汉、萧三、欧阳泽、向警予、{MOD}等19人。

During 1919-1920, there were more than 1,600 Chinese youths going to France for work and study, including 346 Hunan youths. 19 of 78 Xinmin Society members went to France, such as Cai Hesen, Xiao Zisheng, Zhang Kundi, Li Weihan, Xiao San, Ou Yangze, Xiang Jingyu, Cai Chang, etc.

  李石曾故居位于蒙达尔纪雷蒙特列街15号，是一幢三层楼的法式建筑，前面临街，后面靠河，总面积260平方米左右，共有六套房间。这幢古朴建筑，就是当年革命先驱勤工俭学的寓所。

The former residence of Li Shizeng in Montargis is a three-storey French-style building, facing streets in front and rivers at back. The residence with six rooms covers an area of 160 square meters, where Chinese youths ever worked and studied.
  李石曾先生是当年赴法勤工俭学的倡议者和领导者。1903年，李石曾先生最先来到蒙达尔纪求学，并先后邀请孙中山、蔡元培、周恩来等来此访问或讲学。1912年李石曾先生关于帮助中国留学生赴法勤工俭学的倡议也是在蒙达尔纪提出来的，赴法勤工俭学学生当中，约有三百名在这里学习、工作，是当年中国留学生交流、活动的重要场所，包括李维汉、{MOD}、李立三、{MOD}、向警予等革命先辈。

Mr. Li Shizeng is the advocator and leader of the Chinese old revolutionaries studying and working in France. In 1903, Mr. Li Shizeng came to Montargis for study, and then invited Sun Yat-sen, Cai Yuanpei, Zhou Enlai, etc. to visit Montargis. In 1912, Mr. Li Shizeng advocated to help Chinese overseas students studying and working in France in Montargis. There were about 300 Chinese overseas students studying and working here; the former residence of Li Shizeng was the key location for them at that time, including Li Weihan, Li Fuchun, Li Lisan, Cai Chang, Xiang Jingyu, etc.

    目前，由李石曾故居改建成的中国留学生赴法勤工俭学纪念馆装修即将完成，预计今年8月可以正式对外开放。

The memorial hall  will complete decoration soon and be opened to the public in August 2016.

  蔡和森、{MOD}、李立三、向警予等人在湖南都有纪念馆，如果我们共同努力，把湖南的纪念馆与法国的纪念馆联系起来，就能够更好地反映这些革命先辈成长、斗争的历史。

Since there are memorial halls for Cai Hesen, Cai Chang, Xiang Jingyu, etc., we can connect Hunan memorial halls with the French memorial hall to better present the growth history of the old revolutionaries.

回望出发地：湖南

  红网系列报道《回望出发的地方——赴法勤工俭学和红色小镇蒙达尔纪》从新民学会旧址娓娓道来，展示了那一批湖湘青年赴法勤工俭学背后的故事。因为这些故事，湖南长沙的新民学会旧址在广大网民的头脑中，更形象生动了起来，回溯这些革命青年和他们在湖南学习和工作过的地方，也赋予了法国的蒙达尔纪这座小城不一般的意义。

From Hunan to Montargis: Hunan Youths’Red Stories, Rednet’s Respors on the 95th Founding Anniversary of the CPC, starts telling Hunan youths’ work-study stories in Montargis from the former site of Xinmin Society. Thanks to the stories, the former site of Xinmin Society and Montargis in France are refreshed in mind to re-memorize Hunan youths’ work-study history in France.
