Rewi Alley was born in New Zealand on October 8, 2018. He served overseas in the First World War. After returning to New Zealand from the war, he left to witness the Chinese revolution in 1926. He arrived on April 21, 1927. While in China he sought to improve the conditions of workers and helped to develop the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives with the slogan of “Gung Ho,” or work together. Part of his work with the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives included setting up training schools across China. Alley served as headmaster from 1945-1949 for one school in Shandan.
