For the Sake of the Motherland - New China Sends Overseas Students and the Upsurge of Returning Students

In order to break the imperialist blockade and accelerate the pace of socialist construction, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to learn from the advanced experience of the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in Eastern Europe. At that time, shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was an urgent need for construction talents in all aspects, so the work of sending students abroad was put on the agenda. International students lived up to the expectations of the party and the country. After they returned home from their studies, they devoted their wisdom and youth and became the backbone of the later development of industry and the establishment of a comprehensive scientific research system.
