我本來很好奇西班牙內戰中那些中國或日本參戰者的下落----但都找到很
奇怪的地方XD
首先,中國大陸那邊,網路上居然找不到這方面的相關資料,我本來以為會去
參加的左派學生那麼多,多多少少會寫一點吧?尤其是那邊多的是超自high...
...非常支持全世界共產運動的傢伙.結果居然沒有,讓我吃驚吃很大.
然後找著找著,結果反而是在台灣這裡的左派網站上找到隻字片語的資料,
以及"菲律賓華僑",只不過後者是天主教徒,反而不左.....好吧,我不得不
承認這樣子的可能性也是存在的.
(看樣子當年54左派憤青反法西斯主要還是嘴炮運動,我看錯他們了XD)
然後找著找著,發現這個:
Ca. 1880-1935: A Chinese Soldier in Nebraska
美國內戰的中國兵
The state of Nebraska has at least two claims to fame among
Chinese-Americans. First, in 1898 it hosted a world fair in
which at least 177 Chinese participated (see Midwestern World
Fairs). And second, it was the home of a truly remarkable
Chinese immigrant, Edward Day Cohota.
大意:內戰時期有個中國兵名叫Edward Day Cohota
Found as a 4 year-old stowaway on the American sailing ship
Cohota en route from Shanghai to Massachusetts, he was adopted
by the ship's captain, Silas Day, and named after Day and the
ship itself. In 1864 he joined the Union Army and fought in
several battles of the Civil War. He rejoined the Army after
the War. After serving at various military posts in Kansas,
Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Illinois (at Fort Sheridan,
in suburban Chicago), he settled at Fort Niobrara near Valentine,
Nebraska. He and his Swedish-American wife, whom he married in 1883,
had six children. He died in 1935, ninety years after leaving Shanghai.
大意:他四歲的時候,被人在從上海到麻州的船上發現,於是船長認養他,
入籍美國,後來美國內戰時從軍作戰,戰後跟瑞典移民妻子成婚並有六名
子女,1935年過世,享年94歲.
In 1929, an article in the Rapid City Daily Journal paid tribute to him:
"It is not an uncommon thing to see a grand old gentleman at the
national sanitarium standing uncovered and at attention at 'flag-down.'
This refined, splendid looking old gentleman, who stands with such
reverence and respect for the flag of his adopted country, is
Edward Day Cohota, the only native-born Chinaman who went through
the Civil War."
大意:報紙上說他是內戰中唯一出生地在中國的華人士兵.
We now know that other Chinese fought in the American Civil War
(1861-1865) too. There were at least sixty. None were Californians,
a few were Southerners, and the rest lived on the East Coast. As far
as we know, the only Chinese in the Midwest during the Civil War was
Alla Lee in St. Louis (see above, 1857), and there is no evidence that
he fought on either side..
大意:美軍雙方至少總共有六十人是華人,全都是東岸各州的,沒有一個是加州
來的.大部分屬於北軍,少部份屬於南軍.有個中西部來的華人聲稱他也有參軍,
不過沒證據能夠證明.
感想:
如果以前在國外看到這種資料,我的論文就多了一個了:P
