民国时期赴澳留学章程变迁(续) :一九八至一九一年赴澳的中国留学生

如前所述,民国初年即一九一二年达成并实施的《澳洲外务大臣新订中国商人学生来澳章程》,是中国在澳大利亚设立外交机构——中国驻澳大利亚总领事馆三年之后的事情,也是中国总领事馆为争取华人入澳权利所做的一件大事。大清国虽在光绪卅四年(一九○八年)与英国达成协议可在澳大利亚设立中国总领事馆,但直到次年首任总领事梁澜勋才抵任,直到一九一一年黄荣良总领事与澳大利亚联邦政府外务部部长(外务大臣)几轮协商,方才在翌年初订好中国学生及商人来澳章程。

从目前可以查阅到的档案来看,早在一九○四年,即澳大利亚联邦成立三年之后,就有一位在雪梨(Sydney)的著名华商李春(即李临春,Phillip Lee Chun),向外务部申请办理其妻和刚刚二岁的儿子前来澳洲探亲,当然也是期望其子来澳后稍长便送其入读当地学校,接受现代西方教育。李春是广东省香山(中山)县隆都涌头村人,一八六二年出生,十七岁时(一八七九年)便跟随乡人赴澳淘金,定居雪梨,一八八三年归化入籍,一八八五年便与他人一起在雪梨中国城创办广和昌号(Kwong War Chong & Co.)商行,是当地著名华商。一九○○年,李春返乡,迎娶十六岁的余氏为妻。四年后,李春向澳洲联邦政府内务部申请其在乡妻小前来澳洲探亲,获外务部部长特批。次年,其妻及二子李深(李源深)从香港搭船来到雪梨与其团聚,但其长子李芳(Lee Fong,或者Thomas Lee Fong)则留在乡间,直到五年后即一九一○年方才入境来到澳洲,与父母团聚并入读雪梨的基督堂学校(Christ Church School)。由此可见,李芳和李深应该是最早被澳洲批准来澳与父亲团聚并入读学校的中国留学生,尽管李芳真正赴澳留学的年份则稍微迟了一些。。

事实上,在大清国确定要在澳大利亚设立领事馆后,澳大利亚外务部就开始审批居澳华人申请其在中国之子女及亲属来澳留学事宜。档案显示,一九○八年,外务部准允一位名叫Pow Ah Hin(鮑亚显,音译)的华商将其子Pow Ah Won(鮑亚文,音译)带到澳洲读书。一九○九年,总计批复了十九名中国留学生前来澳洲留学,到一九一○年,则有十一人获批入澳就读各地不同学校,比包括前述在同年抵澳就读的李源深。

下面是一九○八年至一九一○年间获澳大利亚内务部批复入澳留学的中国学生名单,总计三十一名。

上面提到的李芳,一直在澳呆到一九二八年。读完书后,他得以留下来协助父亲经营广和昌号。一九二六年,他曾经申请归化入籍但被拒。一九二八年初,他因身体不适,在父亲李春建议下,打算回国治疗和休养,也申请到了再入境签证。只是他的档案到当年就结束,再未能找到后续与他相关的信息。据新南威尔士州档案馆的信息,Thomas Lee Fong死于一九二八年五月八日。可能他当时患病严重,未及登船出发,就不治而亡。
