A Historical Study of China's Students in Japan

从世纪初到1937年甲午战争爆发前，中国留日学生约有1.2万人，这些事实清楚地表明，中国在近代化进程中受到了日本的巨大影响，不能说这些留学生是这一时期近代化主导力量的重要组成部分。例如，中国重要的政治领导人蒋介石（*）、周恩来（*）、著名作家鲁迅（**）、郭沫若（*）都是在日本大学学习的，但一个历史事实其他许多学生并不清楚。尤其是抗战时期他们对日本的感情和态度更是不被理解。本研究采用田野调查的方法，于1991-1993年对40名抗战时期留日中国老学生进行了大量的访谈。本研究的主要调查问卷为：（1）选择日本作为访问国家的动机;（2）主要领域、教育程度和经济支持;（3）回国后在中国的职务和地位;（4）抗日战争时期的行为和行动。其影响：（5）日本对过去和现在的看法;（6）对未来中日关系的看法，以及近年来中国留日学生的情况。本报告对调查结果进行了总结，并对中国留日学生的留日思想进行了简要分析。
