In the history of China's diplomacy, there is a high-profile ** that has been praised by people, that is, "Qiao's laughter", which records the scene of Qiao Guanhua's laughter when China restored its legitimate seat in the United Nations.
However, this high-profile diplomat offended his mentor in his youth and vigor *** In 1953, after three years of tragic War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the United States offered to sign an armistice.
China decided to send General Li Kenong and his deputy Qiao Guanhua to negotiate. However, Qiao Guanhua was dissatisfied with Li Kenong's leadership, and even expressed his dissatisfaction with his boss rudely after drinking. ** After learning about it, he was furious and ordered Qiao Guanhua to write a review.
What is the background and impact of this incident?First of all, after the United States offered an armistice, after careful consideration, it was decided to send General Li Kenong as a negotiator to negotiate an armistice agreement with the United States.
General Li Kenong not only made great achievements in war, but also enjoyed high prestige and strong appeal in our army as a veteran party member who participated in the revolution in the early days.
In addition, because General Li Kenong has been working on the hidden front for a long time, he has rich experience and is good at grasping the enemy's mentality. Therefore, while sending General Li Kenong to preside over the negotiations, a diplomat's deputy, Qiao Guanhua, was also appointed.
As one of the first batch of diplomatic talents cultivated by New China, Qiao Guanhua is not only a first-class student, but also a future diplomat, so this Sino-US armistice negotiation is a valuable opportunity for him to exercise.
At the same time, as a professional diplomatic talent, Qiao Guanhua can also make up for General Li Kenong's shortcomings in diplomacy.
The selection of ** can be said to be very comprehensive, and General Li Kenong and Qiao Guanhua complement each other, which will certainly enable our country to occupy a more favorable position at the negotiating table.
However, at the age of 38, Qiao Guanhua was in the prime of his youth, and he thought he was fully capable of taking charge of the negotiating table. He believes that sending a general who can only fight to lead the negotiating team is a distrust of his ability.
This kind of rhetoric became the trigger that led to the subsequent development of events.
General Li Kenong is far from being able to understand Qiao Guanhua, and there is an old Chinese saying that "when a talent meets a soldier, it is unreasonable", which may explain the contempt of pure cultural people such as Qiao Guanhua for the "martial arts" who Xi military skills.
However, Qiao Guanhua did not realize that General Li Kenong was by no means an ordinary "martial artist". He is not only experienced and well-informed in the military field, but also not inferior in terms of cultural accomplishment, which can be described as an intelligence expert.
On the whole, in addition to diplomatic means, General Li Kenong is not inferior to Qiao Guanhua in all aspects. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea lasted five years with great difficulty, and the last two years were spent on negotiations while fighting the war, and both sides were under tremendous mental and physical pressure.
After a difficult effort, the negotiations were finally brought to a complete conclusion. However, in the past two years of getting along, Qiao Guanhua's dissatisfaction with General Li Kenong gradually deepened.
He believed that the entire negotiation process was completed by him and the team, and Li Kenong only gave some guidance lightly, and the credit for the success in the end was actually attributed to Li Kenong, which made Qiao Guanhua feel very indignant.
In the end, after a drink, Qiao Guanhua couldn't help but accuse Li Kenong. At a drinking party, Qiao Guanhua drank too much, and the people around him persuaded him to rest, but unexpectedly, he insisted on continuing to drink despite the dissuasion of others.
Everyone took turns to persuade him to drink less, pointing out that drinking too much alcohol was not good for his health, but Qiao Guanhua was unhappy, thinking that no matter how much he came, someone would always come to restrain him, and Li Kenong's command of the overall situation at the negotiation table also restricted his free play, and now there is actually drinking.
Men hindered him. So under the influence of alcohol, Qiao Guanhua was open-mouthed and said indignantly: "Don't worry about me!."Why do I have to be restricted everywhere!When negotiating with the United States, old man Li Kenong did not do practical things and commanded us everywhere, and we were not tired at the negotiation table.
Yes, in the end, the credit has to be given to him, what is the reason!Hearing Qiao Guanhua's offensive words, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat, understanding that his remarks were bound to bring him trouble, and hurriedly arranged for someone to send him back to his residence to avoid further trouble.
** After hearing Qiao Guanhua's disrespectful words to his revolutionary predecessors, he was furious and immediately summoned him to come. Qiao Guanhua knew his intention to summon him, and regretted it, but he couldn't take back the offense just now.
In the face of ***'s questioning, Qiao Guanhua lowered his head in shame and was silent. ** angrily reprimanded: "What did you say to Comrade Li Kenong?"
You're so daring!I've always regarded you as a *** potential talent, but I didn't expect you to be rash and rude, without measure, is this what I taught you?You still want to be a diplomat?
When Qiao Guanhua heard this, his face was flushed, and he was even more ashamed, and he didn't dare to raise his head. **After the reprimand, let Qiao Guanhua immediately write a review and go to apologize to Comrade Li Kenong.
The next day, Qiao Guanhua deeply reflected on his behavior at home, realizing that he was blinded by prejudice and had never really understood General Li Kenong's dedication and contribution. He was ashamed of his narrow views.
After writing the review, Qiao Guanhua went to apologize to Li Kenong with sincere apologies, and he bowed deeply and said, "General Li Kenong, I apologize to you for my previous offensive words.
General Li Kenong sighed and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart, get up." Qiao Guanhua still bent down and said frankly: "General Li, please forgive me."
I know that I am disrespectful to you and that I have made mistakes in my work. When General Li Kenong helped him up, he found that Qiao Guanhua had burst into tears.
In this story, we see a young man who made a mistake in his diplomatic career, accepted the enlightenment and teachings of the older generation, and was finally able to turn a new leaf and succeed.
Qiao Guanhua was young and vigorous, but under the care and teaching of the older generation, he learned humility and change, and eventually became an outstanding diplomat.
And General Li Kenong's tolerance and open-mindedness have also given Qiao Guanhua the motivation to grow and progress, and such a spirit is worthy of our eternal admiration and Xi.
