第七届中英庚款留学生的出国求学之路

The Road to Study Abroad of the Seventh Sino-British Boxer Indemnity Students

通过分析民国时期的一些历史资料和林家翘先生保存的护照、信件和相关证书,试图描述第七届中英庚款留学生的出国经历,并对媒体根据钱伟长和李佩二位先生回忆所报道的一些细节,提出了疑问,得出与以往历史研究不同的结论。

This paper attempts to describe the actual events experienced by the seventh Sino British Boxer indemnity students before they left for Canada in the late summer of1940.The findings are backed by several official documents in the period of Republic of China,including Chia-Chiao Lin’s passports,personal letters,and newspaper reports.Some of the findings in this article are very different from the ones reported in the Chinese literature on the same topic in the past 30 years.
