In 2023, Hun Sen of Cambodia ended his 38-year career as prime minister and handed over power to his eldest son, Hun Mane.
Hun Sen admitted that his life as prime minister was very difficult, he had to stay up until 12 o'clock every night to go to bed, and he had to get up at 4:00 in the morning to work. He also participates in various public events, and after each event, he comes home feeling exhausted and lying in bed panting for breath.
He said that he was 71 years old and not as healthy as before, and could not withstand such work pressure, so he decided to give up the position of prime minister to his eldest son, Hun Mane.
After Hun Sen stepped down as prime minister, he happily said that from now on, he would be able to sleep before 12:00 every night.
He said his son Hun Mane was young and capable of taking on the responsibilities of prime minister, and he believed his son would do better.
Soon after Hun Mane took over as prime minister, he attended the ASEAN summit, and he also felt that it was not easy to be prime minister.
He himself said that this was his first time attending an ASEAN summit, and he was very busy, sometimes even meeting with leaders of other countries on an empty stomach, and after a few days, he lost 15 kg.
He said that if he had a little free time, even if it was only 10 minutes, he would use it to have bilateral talks with leaders of other countries.
Once, when I was about to have lunch, I was called by a foreign leader to talk, and after the conversation, we had to take pictures together, so I didn't have a chance to eat. ”
Hun Mane's staff said that Hun Mane had to send emails every night and get up at 4:00 a.m. to work.
It seems that being the prime minister is really tiring, but when the news came out, netizens said: "If you think being the prime minister is tired, you can give up the position of prime minister to your brother, and you won't be tired." ”
This sounds reasonable, but Hun Mane would not do this, he would rather be tired than give up the "emperor" he has been waiting for for a long time. How could he easily give up this position to his younger brother?Unless he and his younger brother fight a battle of Xuanwu Gate.
In fact, many people in office say that they are tired, but they don't want to give up their position to others and let others be tired.
Take, for example, the prime minister of Cambodia. Prince Ranariddhid and Sam Rainsy both wanted to be prime ministers, but they were both ousted by Hun Sen. Hun Sen is going to hold the prime minister until he passes it on to his son.
It seems that the job of being prime minister is both tiring and happy. The joy of being prime minister is far greater than the tiredness of being prime minister!It's unstoppable, happy like a fairy.
