On this day, 57 years ago, on May 13, 1968 (April 17, 1968 in the lunar calendar), the May storm rose in France. Students occupied Sorbonne University for five weeks. After Charles de Gaulle became president of the Fifth Republic of France, he implemented a series of domestic and foreign policies, which enabled France to develop its economy and improve its international status. However, the independent development of nuclear forces is costly and is opposed by both the left and right. The president's arbitrary actions have aroused people's dissatisfaction. The government's legislation against strikes has led to resistance from workers, and the policy of reducing small farmers has also aroused resistance from farmers. Due to the poor economic situation, the number of unemployed people reaches 500,000, and young students face the threat of being unemployed upon graduation. In 1968, various social contradictions became increasingly acute. With young students as the lead, France set off a May Storm. In March, a student movement emerged at the Nonterre branch of the University of Paris, calling for reform of the school's education system. On May 3, students at the University of Paris went on strike and occupied the university buildings in protest against the expulsion of leaders of the student movement by the university authorities. Police closed down the Nontyre branch and dispersed a mass rally at the University of Paris. In protest against police brutality, students across the country went on strike and marched. In Paris, students built barricades to confront police. The struggle reached its climax in mid-May. On May 12, workers went on strike in support of the students 'struggle and demanded a 40-hour work week with a guaranteed salary of $200 per month. On May 13, students and workers jointly held a general strike and class strike. More than 200,000 people in Paris took to the streets, shouting anti-government slogans and holding large-scale demonstrations. During Charles de Gaulle's visit to Romania from May 14 to 18, the situation deteriorated greatly. Students occupied schools, workers occupied factories, water, land and air transportation stopped, factories stopped working, shops closed, and the entire Paris was paralyzed. The strike also swept through more than 90 French provinces, and farmers also demanded higher purchase prices of agricultural products and lower taxes. Charles de Gaulle returned home in a hurry and, backed by the army, negotiated with trade unions and business owners representatives, reaching an agreement on May 25. The government basically met the demands of workers and employees for wage increases and required workers to return to work. The government promised reorganization, the Minister of National Education resigned and implemented education reform. On May 30, Charles de Gaulle announced the dissolution of Parliament and held new elections. On this day, hundreds of thousands of people marched on the streets of Paris to demonstrate in support of the president's policies. The next day, de Gaulle reshuffled the government. On June 12, the government announced a ban on demonstrations. On June 16, police stationed at the University of Paris and arrested key elements of the student movement. The May storm subsided. Parliamentary elections were held in June, and the Gaullists won. De Gaulle implemented reforms to avoid a repeat of the "May Crisis". On October 10, the National Assembly passed a law establishing university autonomy and arranging for college students to participate in higher education. The situation gradually returned to normal.
