摘要
近代中国饱受列强侵略,庚子事变后被迫签订《辛丑条约》,背负了沉重的赔款负担。列强为谋求长期利益,以退还部分赔款为手段,推行文化与经济渗透。20世纪初,美英相继启动庚款退还。退款资金最初用于实业与文教建设,后因全面抗战爆发导致教育与科研体系濒临崩溃,中英庚款董事会迅速调整投资策略,重点资助科学研究,以维系国家学术命脉。通过规范的管理机制与资助实践,中英庚款不仅支持了战时军需、医疗与民生需求的科研突破,同时也为战后科技体系的重建培养了中坚力量。
In modern China,relentless foreign aggression culminated in the Boxer Rebellion,forcing the signing of the Boxer Protocol and imposing a heavy indemnity burden.To secure long-term interests,foreign powers used partial indemnity refunds as a means to advance cultural and economic penetration.In the early 20th century,the United States and Britain initiated indemnity refund programs.The refund was initially allocated to industry and education.However,the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War caused the near-collapse of the educational and scientific research system,prompting the Anglo-Chinese Indemnity Board to shift focus on supporting scientific research to sustain the nation’s academic lifeline.Through structured management and funding practices,the Anglo-Chinese indemnity supported scientific breakthroughs in wartime military,medical,and civilian needs while cultivating key talents for post-war scientific reconstruction.
