第69屆聯(lián)合國世界婦女大會官方論壇主持人、“情歌王子”、著名國際主持人王國權(quán)（Prince John）此次應(yīng)法國愛心團團長董鳳珍女士的盛情邀請，首次出席這一意義深遠的儀式，以嘉賓身份見證并參與，為活動注入藝術(shù)與情感的獨特光芒。作為在國際社會具有影響力的國際主持人，王國權(quán)的影響力早已跨越國界：今年上半年，在紐約市政廳，他舉辦個人演唱會，綻放中西合璧的音樂魅力；在卡內(nèi)基音樂廳、林肯中心及哥倫比亞大學(xué)，他主持高端文化盛會，推動藝術(shù)與學(xué)術(shù)的深度對話；在布魯克林，他積極投身美中文化交流活動，橋接兩國青年與社區(qū)的脈動。更令人矚目的是，紐約州參議員和紐約市議員親臨頒獎，表彰他為文化橋梁所做的貢獻。此外，他還分別獲得聯(lián)合國教科文組織、聯(lián)合國加勒比聯(lián)盟基金會以及聯(lián)合國全球婦女基金會的殊榮表彰，這些國際組織肯定了他長期致力于全球文化交流與人文關(guān)懷的卓越貢獻。被譽為“國際婦女之友”的王國權(quán)，今年上半年在聯(lián)合國總部主持第69屆聯(lián)合國世界婦女大會官方論壇，倡導(dǎo)全球性別平等與和平發(fā)展。他的國際聲譽，不僅讓他能輕松將此次華工紀念活動分享給全球和平大使們和聯(lián)合國相關(guān)渠道，更為這一歷史緬懷注入全球視野與人文溫度，進一步放大其在中法乃至國際社會的影響。

王國權(quán)近日在巴黎從事一系列國際文化活動，將個人藝術(shù)之旅與歷史緬懷自然交融。從11月6日下午開始，他出席了塞努齊博物館（Musée Cernuschi）“Printemps Asiatique”（亞洲之春）展覽開幕式及其他文化交流活動，助力中法藝術(shù)對話的深化。次日，11月7日，他于埃菲爾鐵塔下，與全球頂尖朋克搖滾樂團The Offspring的主奏吉他手Noodles（本名Kevin Wasserman）進行了一場簡短而深刻的專訪。這場跨界對話，不僅橋接了朋克搖滾的叛逆激情與中法文化交流的深邃主題，更彰顯了The Offspring作為國際樂壇傳奇的非凡地位——作為朋克樂隊的巔峰代表，他們的經(jīng)典之作如《Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)》和《Come Out and Play》已然成為全球搖滾史詩，影響數(shù)代樂迷與文化潮流。這些活動的余韻猶存，便讓他在11月9日的凱旋門之行中，繼續(xù)延續(xù)這份藝術(shù)與歷史的雙重回響。

此次活動是旅法僑界繼2023年后第二次獨立在停戰(zhàn)紀念日于凱旋門舉辦此類儀式。一戰(zhàn)期間，法國與英國因勞動力短缺，與中國政府簽約招募約14萬華工遠渡重洋赴歐。他們雖未上前線，卻在后方修建鐵路、道路、橋梁、戰(zhàn)壕，并從事農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)，逾2萬華工客死他鄉(xiāng)。戰(zhàn)后，許多華工定居法國，成為首批旅法華人，并為中法友誼架起橋梁。此次凱旋門活動進一步擴大影響力，讓更多法國人了解這段被遺忘的歷史。王國權(quán)的出席，更是注入了一抹藝術(shù)與情感的溫度，他表示，未來將通過自己的國際平臺，繼續(xù)推廣華工故事，推動中法文化交流。

International Host Wang Guoqiang Attends WWI Chinese Laborers Memorial Ceremony at Paris Arc de Triomphe

New York Comprehensive News, Paris Report　On the evening of November 9, 2025 local time, just one day before the 107th anniversary of the Armistice of World War I, over 200 members of the French Chinese community gathered at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris for a solemn memorial ceremony to honor the Chinese laborers who sacrificed their lives for France during the Great War. The event was hosted by the Chinese Veterans Association of the French Foreign Legion, with co-sponsorship from organizations including the French Chinese Overseas Association, the French Qingtian Hometown Association, the France-China Chamber of Commerce, the French Wencheng Friendship Association, and the France-China Friendship Mutual Aid Association. Special support was provided by the France Love Group, aiming to preserve historical memory and promote Sino-French friendship.

Host of the Official Forum of the 69th United Nations World Women’s Conference, “Prince of Love Songs,” and renowned international host Wang Guoqiang (Prince John) made his first appearance at this profoundly meaningful ceremony upon the warm invitation of France Love Group President Dong Fengzhen. As a distinguished guest, he witnessed and participated in the event, infusing it with unique artistic and emotional resonance. As an influential international host in global society, Wang Guoqiang’s impact has long transcended borders: In the first half of this year, he held a solo concert at New York City Hall, showcasing the charm of Sino-Western musical fusion; at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Columbia University, he hosted high-profile cultural galas, fostering deep dialogues between art and academia; in Brooklyn, he actively engaged in U.S.-China cultural exchange initiatives, bridging youth and communities across nations. Notably, New York State Senators and New York City Council members personally presented awards, commending his contributions as a cultural bridge. Furthermore, he received honors from UNESCO, the United Nations Caribbean Community Foundation, and the United Nations Global Women’s Foundation, recognizing his long-standing dedication to global cultural exchange and humanitarian care. Dubbed the “Friend of International Women,” Wang Guoqiang hosted the official forum of the 69th United Nations World Women’s Conference at UN Headquarters in the first half of this year, advocating for global gender equality and peaceful development. His international stature enables him to effortlessly share this Chinese laborers’ memorial with global peace ambassadors and UN channels, infusing the historical remembrance with a worldwide perspective and humanistic warmth, thereby amplifying its significance in Sino-French and broader international relations. Recently in Paris, Wang Guoqiang has been immersed in a series of international cultural activities, seamlessly blending his artistic journey with historical commemoration. On the afternoon of November 6, he attended the opening ceremony of the “Printemps Asiatique” (Asian Spring) exhibition at the Cernuschi Museum (Musée Cernuschi) and other cultural exchanges, advancing Sino-French artistic dialogue. The following day, November 7, he conducted a brief yet profound interview with Noodles (real name Kevin Wasserman), lead guitarist of the world-renowned punk rock band The Offspring, beneath the Eiffel Tower. This cross-cultural conversation bridged the rebellious passion of punk rock with the profound themes of Sino-French exchanges, highlighting The Offspring’s legendary status in the global music scene—as pinnacles of punk rock, their classics like “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” and “Come Out and Play” have become epic milestones in rock history, influencing generations of fans and cultural trends. The lingering echoes of these activities carried into his Arc de Triomphe visit on November 9, continuing the dual resonance of art and history.

As the sun set, participants in neat attire formed orderly ranks along the Champs-élysées, marching slowly to the Arc de Triomphe accompanied by the solemn melody of a band. Wang Guoqiang, as a special guest, walked at the rear of the elite overseas Chinese delegation and ahead of the honor guard, his steady steps merging seamlessly with the procession, silently conveying reverence for history. In an interview, he shared emotionally: “Walking along the world-famous Champs-élysées with the entire group toward the Arc de Triomphe filled me with immense pride and honor. This was more than a mere procession; it was a tribute to our forebears’ spirit. As a global landmark with traffic controls and drawing worldwide attention, it underscores the French government’s Attach importance for this event. It deeply moved me to sense that the status of overseas Chinese in France and internationally is steadily rising—from forgotten history to this solemn commemoration, we have finally taken our place on such a stage.” The ceremony began with young Chinese descendants offering wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc, symbolizing the younger generation’s awe and inheritance of history. Subsequently, Chai Junyan, secretary of the Consular Department’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Section at the Chinese Embassy in France; Ding Shiding, first vice president of the French Chinese Overseas Association; Zhou Wei, president of the French Qingtian Hometown Association; Ren Jiaodan, secretary-general of the France-China Chamber of Commerce; Zhu Liangshun, president of the French Wencheng Friendship Association; Chen Chenghui, first executive vice president of the France-China Friendship Mutual Aid Association; Chen Jiahui, president of the French Chinese Youth Association; Wang Yulong, president of the Chinese Veterans Association of the French Foreign Legion; and French dignitaries offered floral baskets in turn. Amid the somber music, all attendees observed three minutes of silence to pay the highest tribute to the fallen Chinese laborers of World War I.

The ceremony reached its climax as President Wang Yulong and French five-star General Bruno Dary jointly lit the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The firelight illuminated the majestic arches of the Arc de Triomphe, symbolizing the undying hope for peace. Members of the Chinese Veterans Association of the French Foreign Legion saluted in formation, while active and retired French Navy personnel and middle school students stood solemnly in observation, creating a profoundly moving atmosphere. French dignitaries, including the mayor of the 8th arrondissement, Jean Doselle, and Senator Vincent Luau (a descendant of WWI Chinese laborers), attended in person, joining in this historic moment.

In an interview, Senator Vincent Luau, a descendant of Chinese laborers, said emotionally: “My great-grandfather came to France in 1916 and married in 1923; my grandmother was born that year. She had five children, so our family knows our history well. Though tracing roots back to Guangdong is difficult now, everyone knows this story. It is an eternal symbol of Sino-French relations and friendship. The conditions were extremely harsh; many laborers came to France with no choice and lost their lives. I believe France needs to say thank you to them.”

This event marks the second time the French Chinese community has independently held such a ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe on Armistice Day since 2023. During World War I, facing labor shortages, France and Britain signed agreements with the Chinese government to recruit approximately 140,000 Chinese laborers who crossed oceans to Europe. Though not on the front lines, they built railways, roads, bridges, trenches, and engaged in agricultural production in the rear, with over 20,000 perishing abroad. After the war, many settled in France, becoming the first generation of French Chinese and bridging Sino-French friendship. This Arc de Triomphe ceremony further expands its influence, enabling more French people to learn about this forgotten history. Wang Guoqiang’s participation adds a touch of artistic and emotional warmth; he stated that he will continue promoting the Chinese laborers’ stories through his international platforms to advance Sino-French cultural exchanges.

Following the ceremony, Wang Guoqiang reflected deeply: “This event is not merely an echo of history but a call to the future. It strengthens my belief that through bridges of culture and emotion, we can ensure more people remember our forebears’ sacrifices and ignite the eternal flame of Sino-French friendship. This experience has made me profoundly appreciate that the laborers’ contributions, though a century old, stand as enduringly as the Arc de Triomphe itself—their dedication forges who we are today, and I am truly honored and moved to participate.” He extended special thanks to France Love Group President Dong Fengzhen for her warm invitation, which allowed him to delve into the little-known contributions and sacrifices of the WWI Chinese laborers and feel this timeless warmth and strength firsthand. Wang also expressed heartfelt gratitude to all co-sponsors and participants: “Thanks to the meticulous organization by the Chinese Veterans Association of the French Foreign Legion, the enthusiastic companionship of every overseas Chinese compatriot, and the strong support from French dignitaries—we together safeguard this precious historical memory.” Founded in 2023 by elite French Chinese, the France Love Group upholds the philosophy of “Truth, Goodness, and Beauty,” dedicated to advancing Sino-French grassroots exchanges and charitable causes. Over the past two years, it has organized numerous heartwarming initiatives, including community mutual aid, women’s rights advocacy, cultural and artistic promotion, and support for Chinese laborers’ historical commemorations, earning widespread acclaim in the community. President Dong Fengzhen remarked: “Love knows no bounds; we welcome more like-minded individuals to join us in spreading positive energy and solidifying the bridge of Sino-French friendship.” This commemoration not only revives historical memory but also infuses new vitality into Sino-French people-to-people exchanges.
