It is more appropriate to describe the hardships of many farmers and people in China with the phrase "steaming and rusting in summer, burning in the back and burning in the sky" in Looking at Mai Niang. However, during the war, due to the turmoil at home and abroad, many hardworking farmers lost their jobs and became unemployed.

Under the temptation of foreign forces and the deception of people with ulterior motives at home, many farmers have become migrant workers and started to work abroad, but they don't know what kind of scam this is, let alone what they will face in the future. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers were cheated out of the country, saying that they were going to dig coal, but hundreds of thousands of French girls were waiting for them. What happened?

1. A turbulent country

The story took place in the Qing Dynasty 1840. At that time, western powers coveted China and always wanted to exploit the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the Qing dynasty began to move towards semi-colonial and semi-feudal. At that time, due to the closed door of the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, China's basic forces such as science and technology and military strength fell behind the world. At this time, the powers knocked on the door of the Qing dynasty with tough and rude means.

The great powers not only caused many disasters to China, but also threatened the dominant position of the Qing Dynasty by powerful means, which increased the degree of national unrest. Due to the backwardness of military power, the Qing Dynasty was doomed to failure in every war. Over time, he gradually gave up resistance and began to bow to western powers in the form of giving up national interests.

After being invaded by western powers, domestic contradictions intensified, the Revolution of 1911 started, the Qing Dynasty was fleeting, and China was also developing towards democracy. But it didn't last long. The achievements of the Revolution of 1911 were stolen by Yuan Shikai, and the country was once again in turmoil. At this time, the exploitation hands of the great powers extended to our country.

2. Exploitation of labor by foreign forces

Why do big powers always like to exploit our country? Many people think that repeated exploitation by the great powers means selling marijuana, obtaining materials and grabbing wealth. Although all this is true, they forget the crucial point, that is, the abundant labor force in China.

At that time, the domestic productivity was low, but the population was large, which caused many men to have no stable jobs and had to rely on odd jobs to make a living. But because the great powers are fighting everywhere, the soldiers in the army are all men. After years of fighting, men suffered serious losses and the labor gap was huge.

It is also for this reason that they invaded China many times, and at the same time they took away a large number of laborers to fill the labor vacancies in other countries. Over the years, almost all the great powers have plundered a large number of laborers in our country, and the largest plundering scale is France.

The first time the French plundered labor in China was during the Northern Warlords. At that time, there was a serious shortage of labor in France. In order to solve the problem of labor shortage, the internal meeting of France decided to reach a cooperation with Beiyang government to find a large number of laborers in China and bring them to France to work in basic industries.

Seeing the huge benefits, Beiyang Warlords immediately agreed to the cooperation request and began to deceive the people of China. In order to help France find labor, Beiyang warlords began to look for cheap labor everywhere, boasting about the good jobs abroad, fabricating many labor benefits, and tricking hundreds of thousands of China workers to France and began to be at the mercy of others.

3. What happened after being cheated to France?

Hundreds of thousands of people came to France without seeing any easy jobs, only all kinds of high-pressure jobs and pitiful food. In foreign countries, they are assigned to work in various roads, railways and coal mines. They have worked hard for a long time, and sometimes they can't even earn a meal, which makes people feel pity and resentment.

Although these hundreds of thousands of people have suffered a lot in France, they can only enjoy it and look forward to the day when they return to China. However, the people at home know nothing about their experiences. Under the propaganda of Beiyang warlords, everyone thought that they had a good life in France and were very envious.

After World War I, the great powers suffered heavy losses, and France, which lacked male labor, was even more miserable. After the war, the problem of serious imbalance between men and women appeared in front of the world. Because of the war, hundreds of thousands of French girls lost their husbands and their families were broken. In this case, there are few men in China, which makes hundreds of thousands of French girls become single women instantly and have no expectation for the future.

In order to solve the urgent needs of hundreds of thousands of French girls, French high-level officials decided to give certain freedom to French workers who came to China that year and agreed to marry French girls.

From then on, hundreds of thousands of French girls began to choose their own husbands, began to combine with these foreign Chinese workers, formed families, and then got married. Although I married a French girl and got married in France, life is still difficult without humanitarian assistance, but at least I have a happy support.

"Once the effort comes, there will be few stars around." This sentence in Crossing the Ocean is more appropriate to describe this matter.

When the country was in turmoil, they were tricked into working hard abroad. Faced with endless work and bad rations, they can only find pleasure in bitterness and look forward to the arrival of hope. Fortunately, being allowed to marry French girls is the best comfort for them. At this point, the story is over. So what do you want to say about hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers being cheated out of the country, saying that they are going to dig coal, but hundreds of thousands of French girls are waiting for them?
