BASH: Read all files in a directory recursively, includinging symbolic links

I got this tidy script from someone:

find  ../Classes -name \*.cpp -print

which simply loops a directory, and prints all files recursively. However, it doesn't follow symlinks. All I can find online is:

find ../Classes -name \*.cpp -type l -print

But, since the directory is the symlink, not the files, it outputs nothing. How can I solve that?

Tell find to follow symlinks with -L

find  -L ../Classes -name \*.cpp -print
