2014年3月13日，“英國(guó)駐重慶使領(lǐng)館變遷研究成果匯報(bào)暨二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期中英關(guān)系研討會(huì)”在重慶市外僑辦舉行。此次研討會(huì)由英國(guó)文化協(xié)會(huì)和重慶市外僑辦共同主辦。來(lái)自英國(guó)駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館、重慶市外僑辦、重慶與世界雜志社以及四川外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)國(guó)際關(guān)系學(xué)院等單位的近70位代表參加了本次研討會(huì)。

英國(guó)駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館領(lǐng)事米博娜、四川外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)副校長(zhǎng)樂(lè)勇、四川外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)國(guó)際關(guān)系學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)肖肅等出席開(kāi)幕式并致辭。

米博娜表示，中國(guó)與英國(guó)的聯(lián)系最早始于18世紀(jì)末，英國(guó)在重慶設(shè)立領(lǐng)事館,這是外國(guó)在重慶設(shè)立的第一個(gè)領(lǐng)事機(jī)構(gòu)，兩國(guó)地區(qū)的人民在科學(xué)、文化等領(lǐng)域展開(kāi)了交往，也經(jīng)歷了諸多變遷，也正因?yàn)轭I(lǐng)事館的設(shè)立，讓更多的英國(guó)人來(lái)到中國(guó)內(nèi)陸地區(qū)，了解重慶。在中國(guó)最受愛(ài)戴和尊敬的外國(guó)科學(xué)家之一—李約瑟博士也廣為人知。

來(lái)自四川外國(guó)語(yǔ)大學(xué)國(guó)際關(guān)系學(xué)院的四位專家分別就其研究的中英交往時(shí)間段做了精彩的陳述。宋國(guó)華副院長(zhǎng)指出，19世紀(jì)晚期，英國(guó)為鞏固其在中國(guó)的優(yōu)勢(shì)地位，重點(diǎn)發(fā)展和鞏固了其在長(zhǎng)江流域的勢(shì)力范圍。英國(guó)駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館的設(shè)立，對(duì)重慶乃至西南地區(qū)的對(duì)外開(kāi)放和近代化進(jìn)程產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。

接著，陳廣猛副教授指出，二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期，隨著國(guó)際形勢(shì)的發(fā)展，中英關(guān)系和英國(guó)駐渝使領(lǐng)館都經(jīng)歷了較大變化。太平洋戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的爆發(fā)使得英國(guó)對(duì)華政策出現(xiàn)重要轉(zhuǎn)變，英國(guó)成為了中國(guó)反法西斯統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線的盟友。英國(guó)駐華大使館于1937年隨國(guó)民政府撤離南京，最終遷往重慶。

諶華僑副教授提到，新中國(guó)成立后，因受外部環(huán)境的影響，英國(guó)陸續(xù)撤關(guān)停多處在華使領(lǐng)館，重慶與英國(guó)的官方聯(lián)系逐步中斷。直到1993年英國(guó)萊斯特市與重慶市結(jié)為友好城市，重慶與英國(guó)的聯(lián)系才重新開(kāi)始日益密切。

朱天祥副教授指出，在2000年3月1日，英國(guó)在重慶設(shè)立新的總領(lǐng)事館，總領(lǐng)館先后在五位總領(lǐng)事的帶領(lǐng)下，為促進(jìn)英國(guó)與重慶之間各層次交往與各領(lǐng)域合作做出了突出貢獻(xiàn)?！巴ㄟ^(guò)對(duì)英國(guó)駐渝使領(lǐng)館變遷歷史的研究，必將有助于英國(guó)與重慶的友好合作關(guān)系，促進(jìn)未來(lái)中英關(guān)系的順利發(fā)展?！?/p>

此次研討會(huì)上，來(lái)自英國(guó)的作家艾瑪（Emma Oxford）女士也追尋著父母的足跡，來(lái)到重慶，介紹了她的小說(shuō)《至少我們活了下來(lái)》，并通過(guò)講述書(shū)中她父母的親身經(jīng)歷，反映了二戰(zhàn)期間重慶與英國(guó)的特殊關(guān)系。

英國(guó)領(lǐng)事館在重慶的變遷歷史是中英關(guān)系史上的重要資源，對(duì)重慶的外事工作與領(lǐng)事工作有著深刻的影響，對(duì)加強(qiáng)發(fā)展重慶與英國(guó)的關(guān)系很有意義。開(kāi)展這樣的研討會(huì)，對(duì)重慶“走出去”也產(chǎn)生了積極作用，拉近了重慶與英國(guó)之間的關(guān)系，吸引雙方注意，為未來(lái)雙方在人文、經(jīng)貿(mào)等各方面聯(lián)系打下基礎(chǔ)。

據(jù)了解，2015年是世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)勝利及中國(guó)人民抗日戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)勝利70周年。二戰(zhàn)期間，中英兩國(guó)是反法西斯統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線的盟友。研討會(huì)的召開(kāi)，對(duì)這段特殊歷史時(shí)期的回顧和研究，必將有利于兩國(guó)友好關(guān)系的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)發(fā)展。
