On September 9, 2017, Wang Hairong, China's preeminent female diplomat, passed away in Beijing. In the diplomatic history of New China, there have been many talented female diplomats, and Wang Hairong can be described as the most outstanding one among them. She often shares the stage with ***, so she has become one of the most familiar female diplomats in China. It is worth mentioning that her death coincided with the dozens of anniversaries of ***'s death, and it also became ***'s memorial day. Wang Hairong was born in a scholarly family in Changsha, Hunan Province, and her grandfather, Wang Jifan, was a well-known local intellectual.
Wang Jifan had worked as an educator in Hunan and other places, and during a period of civil turmoil, students were involved in revolutionary activities in many parts of Hunan. One of Wang Jifan's cousins is a representative figure among these revolutionaries, who often organizes *** and is frequently wanted for participating in the revolution, and has been arrested by the military and police many times. Wang Jifan extended a helping hand on several occasions and secretly funded his cousin to continue his revolutionary work. This cousin later became the leader of the Chinese Revolution, that is, Wang Hairong's father had followed *** to participate in the revolution in his early years, but Wang Hairong died when he was three years old.
Despite the loss of her father, Wang Hairong still received a good education, inherited the excellent qualities of her father, and her learning ability Xi was significantly outstanding since she was a child. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Jifan was left in Beijing for a meeting, so Wang Hairong came to live in Beijing with his grandfather. In 1960, Wang Hairong was admitted to Beijing Normal University, majoring in Russian, and then entered Beijing Foreign Language Institute Xi to study English. Unlike many girls, Wang Hairong did not intend to become a teacher. On the contrary, she had greater ambitions, at a time of rapid development in China, where talent was needed in all walks of life, especially in the diplomatic field. Since the establishment of *** and others, the cultivation of talents has always been highly valued.
After graduating, Wang Hairong was appreciated by the prime minister, and the prime minister personally introduced her to the door, thus starting her diplomatic work. In the beginning, Wang Hairong was mainly engaged in some secretarial work, and she was also responsible for sending and receiving messages between the minister and the prime minister. Wang Hairong started a brilliant career with outstanding performance, quickly became the best and became a highly regarded rookie. In 1970, Wang Hairong was promoted to the head of the protocol department, and then quickly promoted to deputy director. She threw herself into her work, rose through the ranks and eventually became a high-profile female diplomat.
Wang Hairong has been working by *** for a long time, deeply influenced by him, serious and responsible work, and often personally participates in the preparations. She has shown great enthusiasm and high demand, and has a good relationship with her colleagues, and although she is outspoken and candid, she is very popular with her colleagues in the department. However, after his death, Wang Hairong was involved in some sensitive cases, which led to a setback in his career and was forced to accept suspension review. Wang Hairong went through many years of hardship and finally got through it, but he was unable to return to work immediately. In 1979, she was transferred from ***, which meant it was difficult for her to return to *** work. While awaiting reassignment, she was assigned to the Xi of the ** Party School instead of being assigned to another department.
Wang Hairong accepted these changes without complaint and spent more than 3 years of studying and Xi life in the party school until he finally got a job opportunity. In 1984, she became the deputy director of the Counselor's Office, realizing that her career development was limited. Fortunately, the organization still took care of her and maintained her deputy ministerial status. These changes have changed Wang Hairong's life dramatically, but she has always maintained a simple style of life. She was often advised to use her connections for profit, but she was always reluctant. She has worked at *** and ***, so many publishing houses want her to make an appointment for them, and even some overseas publishing houses are willing to buy her manuscripts.
However, out of consideration for the reputation of the chairman and others, Wang Hairong always rejected these invitations. It is a pity that Wang Hairong has never been married in his life. In her early years, she was in excellent condition, entered *** work, and quickly became a diplomat. However, her perfect conditions make it difficult to find someone worthy of her. Subsequently, Wang Hairong suffered a change, and his career and life suffered a heavy blow. Due to some special problems, she has become a social avoidance, and the people around her have kept their distance from her, and she is unable to pay attention to her marriage. By the time the problem was basically solved, Wang Hairong was no longer young, and this series of blows made her see the reality clearly.
In her later years, she no longer pursued these, and there were still people around her who pursued her, and even sent love letters, but she had given up her marriage and never married until her death. Although she was alone in her later years, she still had relatives by her side, lived with her brother's family, and was still bathed in the warmth of the family. Wang Hairong has experienced a magnificent life, although there are many regrets, but for her, this life is gorgeous and colorful after all.
