The Chinese delegation attending the Paris Peace Conference was led by Foreign Minister Lou Tseng-Tsiang. The result of the negotiations was disastrous for China. For Lou, it was a personal failure and led finally to his disillusionment with political life, as explained by Prof. Vanhaelemeersch of Howest University.

On 15 November, 1917, thirteen Chinese labourers were killed in a German air raid in Busseboom in Flanders. Prof Philip Vanhaelemeersch of Howest University recounts the tragic story and Annemie Morrisse of Belgium Town Council describes how they will be remembered.
