well-researched and well-written; very touching details but not overly sentimental; a tour de force of global history that uses archives from multiple countries in a productive way. I esp. like the chapter on how the Chinese laborers crossed the Canadian continent by railroad. Highly recommend.
评分前几章和《中国与大战》中“以工代兵”的内容基本一样,后面多了许多加拿大的档案资料和基督教青年会的资料。

评分历史叙事一般,但是题目本身就值得一星

Xu Guoqi is Professor of History at the University of Hong Kong.
During World War I, Britain and France imported workers from their colonies to labor behind the front lines. The single largest group of support labor came not from imperial colonies, however, but from China. Xu Guoqi tells the remarkable story of the 140,000 Chinese men recruited for the Allied war effort. These laborers, mostly illiterate peasants from north China, came voluntarily and worked in Europe longer than any other group. Xu explores China's reasons for sending its citizens to help the British and French (and, later, the Americans), the backgrounds of the workers, their difficult transit to Europe - across the Pacific, through Canada, and over the Atlantic - and their experiences with the Allied armies. It was the first encounter with Westerners for most of these Chinese peasants, and Xu also considers the story from their perspective: how they understood this distant war, the racism and suspicion they faced, and their attempts to hold on to their culture so far from home. In recovering this fascinating lost story, Xu highlights the Chinese contribution to World War I and illuminates the essential role these unsung laborers played in modern China's search for a new national identity on the global stage.
