Features: In early 20th-century Paris, a group of students formed a cohort of overseas scholars. Some were government-sponsored, while others were self-funded. The government-sponsored students, relying on generous funding, lived a lavish life in Paris. However, due to escalating domestic conflicts, their funding was delayed, making their lives increasingly difficult. Over time, they grew restless and were constantly tempted by the alluring Parisian women. Consequently, they engaged with wealthy widows who were no longer young but possessed substantial assets.
The self-funded students, supported by their affluent and influential families, lived a extravagant life in Paris. Some neglected their studies, focusing instead on frequenting brothels and theaters, boasting about their prowess among peers. Others dedicated themselves to extramarital affairs, constantly taking their mistresses around town, even to classrooms, to compare whose mistress was the most beautiful. Some even died abroad as guests of their hometown, having spent their lives away from home.
A colorful record of life overseas, a microcosm of history.
