When "Titanic" was selling well in the United States, Zhou Hexuan and others had already arrived in Moscow. There were many people accompanying them, including Li Shizeng and his entourage, Einstein and his female secretary, Le Corbusier and his assistant, and the resident station sent by Jiang Zuobin.
German diplomats.
Although the Northeast Army and the Soviet Army temporarily ceased fighting, the conflict was not truly resolved.
In December 1929, Cai Yunsheng, Binjiang Daoyin in the Northeast and negotiator in Harbin, signed the Khabarovsk Agreement with Soviet representative Simanovsky. The Soviet side demanded that the Middle East Road be restored to its original state before the conflict, and all arrested
All Soviet expatriates were released, and China disarmed the Belarusians who had taken refuge in the Northeast, expelled their leaders, and restored consulates and commercial institutions on both sides. The two sides were scheduled to hold a meeting in Moscow in January 1939 to negotiate on how to implement the agreement.
Zhang Xueliang really wanted to resolve the dispute as soon as possible. After all, the Soviet troops were still stationed in the Northeast. It would be better to send these plague gods out as soon as possible.
But Chang Kaishen deliberately delayed. He was dealing with warlords such as Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan and did not want Zhang Xueliang to get involved, so he wanted to use the Soviets to drag Zhang Xueliang to the Northeast.
As a result, the Nanjing Nationalist Government delayed sending diplomats to Moscow for negotiations, resulting in a stalemate.
The Soviet Union also had a headache. The army had to spend money every day, so it was not a problem to delay the solution. Under Chang Kaishen's deliberate delay, the Soviet Union had to take the initiative to withdraw its troops, but it retained control of border islands such as Heixiazi Island.
The occupation of this border dispute continued into the 21st century.
In fact, if the Nanjing government quickly sends people to Moscow for negotiations, Heixiazi Island is likely to be easily recovered. But for his own interests, Chang Kaishen does not care about the life and death of Northeast China, nor does he care whether Chinese territory is occupied. His attention is
On dealing with Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang.
The Minister to Germany, Jiang Zuobin, was a diplomat officially appointed by the Nanjing government. It was purely because the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry. This time, he actually hid the news from the domestic government and secretly 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 talk to important Soviet officials and contribute to the restoration of Sino-Soviet diplomatic relations. However, Zhou Hexuan had little interest in this, because if the Nanjing government did not take an attitude, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
After Japan invades Northeast China with force, it will be the Soviets' turn to worry, and normal diplomatic relations will naturally resume.
Zhou Hexuan's idea was to wait for a good opportunity. When the Soviet Union is eager to restore relations between the two countries, it might be able to take back Heixiazi Island, so that the border issue will not be resolved for decades.
The Soviet government still attached great importance to Zhou Hexuan, not to mention that Einstein and Le Corbusier were also accompanying them. As soon as everyone arrived in Moscow, the Soviet side immediately sent someone to accompany them and took them to visit factories, schools, farms and other units.
In a middle school in Moscow, a Soviet official proudly introduced: “In terms of basic education, we implement free general and comprehensive technical education for children before the age of 17, and implement a method that closely integrates teaching with social production labor.
.”
Li Shi once asked in shock: "In your country, free compulsory education has been extended to school-age children under the age of 17?"
"Yes, the Soviet Union is a country of working people, and Soviet schools are also schools of working people." The Soviet official smiled.
Li Shizeng asked again: "How to combine education and labor?"
Su Fang 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. We have established many engineering, engineering and
Economics and other colleges and universities can train a large number of grassroots technical cadres. Students who go out of the school can immediately join the social labor force."
"Your country's investment and execution in the field of education are really amazing." Li Shi once said sincerely.
Li Shizeng also advocated the combination of education and labor. In the educational reforms he and Cai Yuanpei carried out, labor education played a very important role. They even established a special labor university with the same level as higher education institutions such as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Suddenly, a teacher and dozens of students walked happily past everyone, and then drove away from the school.
Li Shi once asked: "Where are these students going?"
"Factory," the Soviet official said, "Soviet education focuses on labor practice, and students have the opportunity to be exposed to actual production every week. Before they graduate, they are already excellent operating technicians and engineers."
Li Shizeng turned around and said to Zhou Hexuan: "Mingcheng, the Soviet education model is worth learning from."
Zhou Hexuan wanted to answer: Old sir, don’t be fooled by the Soviets!
However, due to the presence of Soviet officials, it was difficult to say such words, so Zhou Hexuan could only hold it in for the time being.
First of all, the situation of compulsory education mentioned by Soviet officials is actually very inaccurate. In many marginal areas of the Soviet Union at this time, compulsory education was not universal at all, let alone the age range expanded to children under 17 years old.
Secondly, the Soviet Union’s comprehensive education syllabus severely damaged the systematic nature of educational disciplines. All students came out of the assembly line, and even the entrance, entrance and graduation examinations were abolished, and the blood assessment of students was canceled, resulting in the quality of education being far inferior to that of Tsarist Russia.
Period, it is even less possible to cultivate great scientists.
Insightful people in the Soviet education department have realized this serious problem and are planning to carry out educational reforms. However, despite repeated changes, there are still many problems, such as classifying a large number of workers' children as "intellectually retarded" and "defective"
"", they were sent directly to special schools, killing countless children. The role of teachers was also infinitely reduced, and they became machines that followed the script.
This situation did not improve until World War II. Especially after the war, the Soviet Union vigorously developed education and truly improved the communist education system.
The Soviet Union has taken a detour in education for nearly 30 years, and is still in its early stages of exploration. After Soviet officials' covert boasting, Li Shizeng actually felt envious. He can only say that the old gentleman is too easy to fool.
Not only the education, but also the factories and farms of the Soviet Union astonished the accompanying Chinese people. There was a lively scene everywhere, with workers and farmers full of energy, and everyone's face showed the satisfaction and happiness of building a country.
Although these are model units, specially presented to foreigners, they are not completely fraudulent.
Zhou Hexuan randomly chatted with a few workers and farmers. The tone of the other people's voices seemed excited and genuine. They really believed that they were creating a better future.
Everyone was also invited to give a lecture at Moscow State University, and the protagonist was naturally Einstein. Zhou Hexuan was only a sideshow in front of the great master Einstein. Being able to speak a few words in the school was enough to give him face.
It wasn't until the day before they left Moscow that Stalin finally took the time to meet them in person.
