xh207hi Posted October 22, 2015 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 at 12:09 AM Hello, I am interested in the history of Chinese who appeared in Europe in 20s/30s, generally before Second World War. I need to do a little query in order to know if there is sufficient info on it to write a thesis. To be honest, I don't know much about it so far. I know about few migrant waves, about Cantonese mostly going to Great Britain and Zhejiangese settle in almost everywhere else in Europe where Chinese ever went, but no details... I know there has been a lot of info about France because of the communist leaders who studied there (they didn't settle though, and that's what I'm most interested in), maybe England or Germany, but is there anything more about Eastern Europe? I'm particularly interested in this area, although I noticed a significant lack of info... Before suggesting searching cnki, I would kindly ask you to suggest any materials that you know for sure that exist. I'm sorry for my crappy English, hope I am understood.

roddy Posted October 22, 2015 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 at 09:13 AM Might be worth looking at the members of the Chinese Labour Corp that stayed behind. Eastern Europe though - hard to imagine there was much immigration in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xh207hi Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:24 AM Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:24 AM There was some I know of. I was wondering if there exist any records about it though. I know there is something about Czech Republic, there was an early organization called the Association of Chinese Business (捷克华人工商业者协会), but that's basically all I know about Chinese organizing in this area. Thank you for the link~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
