A dog is the only friend, and a wild vegetable is the only taste of life.
I've walked the world alone countless times, and I've never felt as lonely as I am now. ”
Today, it took about 3 hours to read Lu Shan's "Bungee Jumping", and the story tells the story of Zhong Liang, a senior diplomat, who went to Guido alone to serve as chargé d'affaires.
With his high sense of responsibility and mission, as well as his patriotic enthusiasm, he endured great loneliness and went through many dangers and obstacles, and finally established the embassy in Guido, which brilliantly fulfilled his diplomatic mission.
The protagonist of "Bungee Jumping" is my country's outstanding diplomat - Wu Zhonghua.
Diplomat Wu Zhonghua has been obscure, hardworking, and putting the interests of the country first.
Over the years, with his excellent work ability, he has made great contributions to the cause of China's diplomacy and greatly expanded China's influence.
For Wu Lao, the words I can think of are: lonely and brave, selfless dedication, loyalty to the motherland, hard-working, outstanding diplomatic ability, and so on.
But these words are not enough to describe his magnificent life.
As a diplomat, you naturally have to deal with other countries. Diplomacy is a battlefield without gunsmoke, and diplomats are soldiers without guns.
In 1990, Wu Zhonghua was officially transferred to Kiribati, a small island nation in the South Pacific.
There are hardly any recreational facilities here, not even a decent tiled house to be found.
Under the pressure of time and the international situation, Wu Zhonghua could only use the rented hut as an embassy, and despite his physical exhaustion and discomfort, he immediately began to prepare for the first reception of the embassy.
Since the people of Kiribati live on fishing and have a simple diet, Wu Zhonghua brought liquor and canned food from China as part of the banquet.
It is gratifying to note that liquor and canned food are loved by Kiribati's leaders and ambassadors.
During his tenure, all diplomatic matters, no matter how big or small, were handled by Wu Zhonghua alone.
In the face of the leaders of Kiribati and the ambassadors of other countries, Wu Zhonghua won everyone's support and appreciation with his outstanding diplomatic skills and peaceful and friendly attitude.
During his tenure in Kiribati, Wu Zhonghua faced two life tests.
One night, Wu Zhonghua was in the hut to process the work documents to be sent to the state, when there was a rapid knock on the door, and the people outside the door knocked on the door and told Wu Zhonghua to leave the place immediately.
Wu Zhonghua, who didn't know why, immediately picked up the important documents and walked out, and on the way to evacuate, Wu Zhonghua was not thinking about his own life safety, but about the documents in his arms must not be lost.
Later, Wu Zhonghua learned that a 500-pound bomb was found under his thatched hut, and once it happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wu Zhonghua, who was scared after thinking about it for a while, was glad that he was not in danger, but what made him more worried was where he should go in order to ensure the safety of documents and foreign affairs.
After much consideration, Mr. Wu chose a safe place for the embassy on other small islands and, with the help of locals, built a new thatched hut.
However, some time later, after just returning to his embassy after a diplomatic conference, Wu Zhonghua couldn't help but speed up his pace with the unease along the way.
When he walked to the door of the embassy, Wu Zhonghua heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, thinking of the documents in the house, Wu Zhonghua changed his previous composure, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, and strode into the house.
It's just that after entering the house, there is no one in the house, only a house full of messy papers and windows that have not yet settled, and the people in the house have run out for a long time.
Wu Zhonghua didn't care about anything else, immediately sorted out the documents and checked them, until he found that no documents were missing, and then he let go of his hanging heart.
Wu Zhonghua, who was relieved, also realized the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately sorted out all the documents according to their importance, and summarized a table of contents.
In order to facilitate the faster and better receipt of these documents by diplomats sent by the State in case of danger themselves.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been the most difficult to achieve both.
During his stay in Kiribati, Wu Zhonghua did not have any communication tools except for one ** used for work, which also made Wu Zhonghua fall into the pain of missing his family all day long, and at the same time, it also caused a big regret in his life.
In April 1990, Wu Zhonghua received a letter from home, and just as he was looking forward to the thoughts from his parents, wife and children with joy, he didn't want to, but what was waiting for him was the news of his father's death.
This news made Wu Zhonghua, who has always been strong, leave tears in a foreign country.
As a son of man, not being able to fulfill his filial piety by his parents' side has made Wu Zhonghua very guilty, and not being able to see his father for the last time makes him even more painful.
Unfortunately, there was an important meeting to be held that afternoon, and Wu Zhonghua could only endure the pain and go to the meeting with a smile. For his father's guilt and missing his family, Wu Zhonghua can only endure it alone in the dead of night.
In addition to work, one of the things Wu Zhonghua must do every day is to raise the national flag.
Although the conditions in Kiribati were difficult and the embassy was poorly equipped, the flagpole for raising the national flag was designed and installed by him with great painstaking work and months, and the flag was well preserved by him and did not stain a single dust.
No matter whether it is windy or rainy, there is no mistake in holding the flag-raising ceremony on time every day, singing the national anthem, and saluting attention.
After installing the flagpole, when he saw the five-star red flag raised in a foreign country for the first time, Wu Zhonghua left tears of excitement.
At that moment, a sense of pride and belonging filled his heart, and it was also at that moment that he strengthened his confidence in working hard to complete the diplomatic work.
Someone once asked him: "Is it tiring to live such a lonely and difficult life?" ”
His reply was: "No matter what, as long as you have the motherland in your heart, you won't feel tired." ”
Greatness comes from the ordinary, Wu Zhonghua was born in an ordinary family in Hebei, and the open-mindedness and foresight of his parents made Wu Zhonghua develop a strong and brave habit of being able to endure hardships since he was a child.
At the same time, Wu Zhonghua loves to read, and has read books in all aspects at a young age, such as astronomy, calendar, political history, literature, etc., which can be said to be very wide-ranging, and Wu Zhonghua was very interested in foreign languages when he was a child.
In the environment of internal and external troubles at that time, Wu Zhonghua, who was young, was determined to become a diplomat and contribute to the prosperity of the motherland.
Since then, Wu Zhonghua has worked hard to realize his dream, and finally his hard work has paid off, and Wu Zhonghua was admitted to Nankai University in Tianjin, majoring in diplomacy with his own efforts.
During his university years, he earnestly studied professional knowledge, was proficient in many Chinese, studied excellent diplomatic cases, and cultivated excellent diplomatic ability, and entered China in 1963
During his tenure in Kiribati, Wu Zhonghua relied on his excellent diplomatic skills to win respect and support for our country in many meetings, conveyed our country's goodwill to the world, and always maintained a rigorous and dignified attitude on issues of principle, neither humble nor arrogant.
Wu Zhonghua did not give any opportunity to slander the motherland, greatly safeguarded China's rights, and made great contributions to China's diplomatic cause.
When he was stationed in Kiribati, diplomat Wu Zhonghua was so busy with his work that he often forgot to sleep or eat.
From repairing houses and creating things, to washing and cooking, Wu Zhonghua has always done it alone, and the food on the island is poor, so it is difficult to have fresh vegetables and pork.
Diplomat Wu Zhonghua's chronic malnutrition and overwork caused him to fall ill and lie in bed for several days without getting out of bed.
There was only a pot of rice and a pot of water next to the bed, and I spent a few days of illness like this.
Later, after Wu Zhonghua's wife learned about his situation, she gave up her job, the elderly and children in Beijing and came to the island to accompany Wu Zhonghua and take care of his daily chores.
With the care and companionship of his wife, diplomat Wu Zhonghua's work is more handy, and there are no distractions from so many trivial matters.
Therefore, Wu Zhonghua can devote most of his energy to diplomatic work, and the husband and wife can work together to carry out diplomatic work, and get twice the result with half the effort until they return to China after the expiration of their term of office.
When Wu Zhonghua was first mentioned, most people were not familiar with him, even his colleagues when he worked after returning to China did not know about his deeds.
It wasn't until we saw the memoir "Nan Tai Love" written by Wu Zhonghua himself that we realized how great he was.
He braved hardships and made great contributions to the diplomatic cause of our country in obscurity.
Mr. Wu Zhonghua loves to write, and "Nan Tai is Loveless" is a memoir of his diplomatic work written by Mr. Wu Zhonghua after his retirement. The book chronicles the experiences of diplomats Wu Zhonghua in the South Pacific, the United States, Singapore and other countries.
Nan Tai is not only a memoir of Wu Zhonghua, but also an indispensable part of China's diplomatic history.
When some countries wanted to isolate our country, Wu Zhonghua accepted the order in danger, lived up to the trust, stabilized the diplomatic position in the South Pacific, and defended this diplomatic position for our country.
Walking like dust, great love is boundless, but seeking dedication, not seeking fragrance.
In ancient times, Su Wu did not succumb to the Huns, shepherded sheep in the desert, held a festival, and cherished the Han in the vast desert.
Hold a camel bell and wander among the desert grass.
Su Wu chose to kill himself after the accident when he went to the Huns, and did not change his faith after being rescued.
In the big kiln, the snow is swallowed with felt wool to satisfy hunger, and even if all the yak hair on the runes falls off, it is not put down.
Finally, nineteen years later, he returned to Dahan in vain.
Today, Wu Zhonghua is not afraid of difficulties and goes to a foreign country alone.
Digging wild vegetables, living in a hut, a dog is his only companion.
In his many years of diplomatic life, Wu Zhonghua lived up to the hopes of the motherland and adhered to the country's diplomatic position.
The difficult environment did not shake him, and the dangerous situation did not make him retreat, and he always put the national interests first.
Such patriotic ancestors deserve our respect and learning.
