Speech by Zhao Jin, former Chinese Ambassador to France

Zhao Jin, one of the Chinese representatives and former Chinese ambassador to France, has special feelings for Lyon. Looking back, he talked about Lyon's role in promoting the development of China's nuclear power industry. From 1919 to 1920, more than 2000 people went to France to work and study, reaching an unprecedented point. Among them are Zhou Enlai, Cai Hesen, Li Fuchun, Chen Yi and a large number of well-known talents. Work and study prepare their own outstanding leaders for the liberation of the Chinese nation. In these years, Deng Xiaoping was also involved in this trend and began his career of studying abroad, which determined the fate of his life. the experience of studying abroad made Deng Xiaoping have an open vision and laid the tone of vision for him to become the designer of China's reform and opening up.When imagining the future of cooperation, Zhao Jin hopes that more French culture can be introduced to China, and that more French enterprises can settle in China.
