One day in 1974, Beijing had ushered in spring, and in early spring, the earth was like a girl who had just woken up, and the breeze was blowing everything that had not yet fully woken up.
The chairman, as usual, walked around the dean after breakfastThose kind eyes were like ancient wells without waves, quietly gazing at the world, although his back was already a little rickety, but still standing straight.
The guards hurried over, and said softly: "Chairman, the guest you invited has arrived. ”
Immediately came Lee Tsung-dao, who had just won the Nobel laureate, and he was accompanied by Luo Qingchang, who was the secretary general of *** at the time, and others.
Several people accompanied the chairman into the studyIn the chat, the chairman also asked humorously: "Dr. Li, I know that you are from Shanghai, so do you know that you are in the sea." ”
Lee shook his head and smiled at the chairman.
The chairman said with a slight smile"It's normal that you don't know, in fact, there is really a sea, there is a village in Maoming, Guangdong, and the name of the village is Xiahai." ”
After the chairman's remarks, the scene immediately became more enthusiastic, and the original nervousness of Lee Tsung-dao and others disappeared.
After a pause, the chairman pausedjoked to the familiar girl next to her: "Her name is Tang Wensheng, but I have always felt that her name is not good, so I persuaded her to change her name." ”
When the chairman finished saying the name change, there was loud laughter in the room.
In addition, Tang Wensheng has been working for more than ten years, and he was known as the Five Golden Flowers in the diplomatic community at that time, and Tang Wensheng was also one of them.
She was even praised by Kissinger: "Nancy Don can run for the United States."
However, it is such a translator who has made outstanding contributions to our country with beauty and talent, why has he never married in his life?
How brilliant is the life of Tang Wensheng, a figure of the times?
In March 1943, a baby's cry was heard in a hospital in New York, USA.
And Tang Wensheng's name is also very meaningful, at that time, Tang Wensheng's father did not rush to the hospital in time to accompany his wife to give birth because he had just returned to the United States.
After the birth of the child, the husband rushed to the hospitalThe wife dragged her weak body to hold the child and said to her husband: "Since it is born after hearing the father's return, the child is called perinatal." ”
Tang Wensheng's father, Tang Mingzhao, was China's first deputy secretary-general of the United Nations, a famous diplomat, and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, a world-renowned institution of higher learning.
In Tang Wensheng's childhood, some scholars often came to the family to talk with his father about learning, and under the influence of his father, Tang Wensheng also had a different interest in learning Xi since he was a child.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, although Tang Wensheng's family was in a different place, they had been silently sending supplies to the front line of our army.
And kept talking to her daughter"Now that the country is being invaded, although we as Chinese are thousands of miles away from home, our patriotism cannot change, and my father does not expect you to become more talented in the future, I only hope that you must be an upright Chinese." ”
Even Tang Wensheng, who spent his childhood in the United States, has always loved his motherlandShe said firmly to her father: "Don't worry, my father will definitely contribute to the country when I grow up, and I will not forget your instructions." “
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the newly established New China was in urgent need of a large number of talents, and his father Tang Mingzhao resolutely returned to the motherland with his wife and children.
Tang Wensheng has also been very smart since he was a child, and he has maintained excellent grades in school and was successfully admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Chinese.
After Tang Wensheng entered the school, Tang Wensheng was cheerful and could speak fluent English at the same time, and there were many admirers.
However, Tang Wensheng just wanted to devote himself to his Xi studies at this time, and his hard work paid off, and Tang Wensheng took three years to finish all the courses that he should have Xi.
One day in 1965, when New China was actively carrying out various diplomatic work and urgently needed a large number of translators, he sent Ji Chaozhu, a translator around him, to Beijing Institute of Foreign Chinese to look for translation talents.
After arriving at the school, I was introduced by the school's teachers and studentsJi Chaozhu met the very excellent Tang Wensheng.
When he saw Tang Wensheng for the first time, Ji Chaozhu was attracted by her dignified temperament and gentle personality.
Ji Chaozhu said even more firmly: "You are the person we need to find." “
And Ji Chaozhu is also Tang Wensheng, and he is also an important Bole in his life, and he is also a good teacher.
With his excellent performance, Tang Wensheng became a member of the English team of the translation office, and Tang Wensheng was only 22 years old at this time.
And Ji Chaozhu also attaches great importance to his apprentice, as long as he has the opportunity, he will vigorously respect Tang Wensheng.
In July 1966, after the successful conclusion of the AFAB Writers' Emergency Conference in Beijing, observers from 53 countries traveled all the way south to Wuhan.
For this meeting, ** came to the meeting in person, and there were three translators around him, and Tang Wensheng was also one of them.
Tang Wensheng, who had just received the news, refused very much"I'm really not sure, and it wouldn't be a shame if something went wrong. “
The rest of the people also dispelled her concerns"It doesn't matter, are you afraid that you won't understand the chairman's Hunan dialect, don't worry, we will give you an inscription next to you at that time." “
In the end, Tang Wensheng also agreed, and Tang Wensheng and his entourage came to the location of *** overnight that night.
As the meeting was about to start, Tang Wensheng fainted due to excessive nervousness, which made everyone around him anxious.
They shouted loudly in Tang Wensheng's ear"Wake up quickly, the meeting is about to start, why did you faint at this time." ”
Fortunately, the chairman did not speak at the meeting that day, and Tang Wensheng and his entourage were also relieved.
In 1970, ** hereby met with Edgar ** and his party in Zhongnanhai, and Tang Wensheng served as an English translator.
During the chat, ** talked with ** in Hunan accent with some loose English, and Tang Wensheng on the side couldn't help but laugh secretly, and felt that *** was an approachable and lovely person.
As the conversation time came to night, ** even warmly invited** and his party to dinner, and Tang Wensheng, who was in charge of recording, also came to the banquet hall.
During the period, when clinking glasses enthusiastically, ** looked at Tang Wensheng next to himdeliberately jokingly said to **: "I see, you often say that respect for women is fake, and you don't raise a glass to a lady when clinking glasses." ”
* Raised his wine glass with a smile and hurriedly apologized to Wang Hairong and other ladies.
The meeting lasted for more than five hours, and after the meeting, ** had a brief chat with Tang Wensheng.
Said with a slight smile"Your translation skills are good, but you still need to look at some classical literature and historical background, you are still young and work hard, and your future will be limitless." ”
After that, Tang Wensheng remembered the chairman's entrustment, and after every day of work, she would go back to her room to check the historical literature.
When the chairman met with Mr. and Mrs. Marcos of the Philippines, the chairman even quoted an ancient proverb from the Three Kingdoms period.
When everyone thought that Tang Wensheng couldn't translate, she fluently said the ancient language and meaning, and nodded to her on the side.
In May 1974, at the invitation of ***, Nobel laureate Tsung-Dao Lee and his party came to Zhongnanhai.
During the meeting, *** adhered to his usual humorous style, and during the conversation, ** also talked about science with Lee Tsung-dao.
**Whispered"If it's a theory, I'm definitely not as good as you, but the theory comes from the first, it is from the practice of science, for example, birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal feelings of people, this is the truth from ancient times to the present, and this is the theory."
Seeing that everyone else was full of questions, ** pointed to Tang Wensheng beside him and said"For example, Tang Wensheng is a small premise, and the small premise should of course be included in the major premise, and the three major theories often referred to are the major premise, the minor premise and the conclusion. ”
After listening, ** even joked about Tang Wensheng"Her name is Tang Wensheng, I often persuade her to change her name and call her Tang Wensheng, she doesn't sound good. ”
After saying this, there was loud laughter in the venue, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became warm.
And Tang Wensheng and *** are getting closer and closer, and they have long lost their original apprehension.
One day in April 1971, ** met with Graham Bush at the Great Hall of the People. The table tennis delegation headed by Stinhoven, and Tang Wensheng also served as a translator.
During the conversation, Stinhoven even said"When we go to other countries, they always ask us if we have any advice, and we have to find a way to find a little bit of it. ”
Tang Wensheng on the side translated:"Oh yes, what is that. ”
Stynhoven continued:"One time when we went to eat, a cold dish came up, we thought it was a meal and ate him, but we didn't expect that there were several dishes later, and you gave us too much to eat. ”
** said with a slight smile on the side"We should have told you in advance, the menu is not clearly marked, the front is all snacks, and the main meal is often in the back. ”
A few months later, Henry Kissinger, the adviser to the United States on affairs, came to our country for the first time.
After sitting down, he suddenly pointed at Tang Wensheng and said"It's a pleasure to meet you,' Ms. Nancy Tang. ”
Seeing that everyone else was full of questions, Tang Wensheng explained"The name he just said was the name I had when I was in the United States. “
At the dinner, ** also warmly welcomed their arrival and happily raised his glass to touch the old with them, but Tang Wensheng on the side was in a very staggered mood.
At that time, the medical staff also hereby explained that ***'s physical condition was not able to drink more.
When *** picked up the wine glass again, Tang Wensheng suddenly stood up, said with a serious expression: "Prime Minister, you can't drink anymore, the doctor just explained, and we also have to consider your body." “
For Tang Wensheng's words, **There was no trace of anger, considering the mood of the guests, ** could only raise the wine glass and drink the last glass.
***, who has entered the twilight years, often told Tang Wensheng and others more than once"After I'm gone, you have to promise me that you must listen to ***." ”
However, after the person in charge reported to the chairman the news that *** had passed away, ** silently closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.
At this time, the chairman's body is no longer able to attend the prime minister's memorial serviceThe day before the memorial service, ** listened to the eulogy and cried loudly.
Since Tang Wensheng entered the *** work in 1965, he has dedicated everything to the cause of my country.
After passing away one after another, Tang Wensheng was also transferred to the China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese as vice chairman, and Tang Wensheng was even more conscientious in the face of his new position.
