Chapter Containedrequested, Qiao Guanhua's funeral arrangements were controversial, **agreed
On September 22, 1983, Comrade Qiao Guanhua, a well-known diplomat in China, unfortunately passed away at the age of 70. For the funeral arrangements of this outstanding diplomat, people from all walks of life have put forward their own opinions and suggestions, among them, Qiao Guanhua's current wife, Comrade Zhang Hanzhi, who also works in China, finally made a decision.
After learning of his condition, Zhang Hanzhi made three requests to **, and the central government decided to respect her opinion after careful consideration and agreed. What are the three requirements put forward by that chapter?
What kind of affectionate story does she have with Qiao Guanhua? They are a couple who love each other, and their love is true and pure, deep and intense. In 1982, Qiao Guanhua, who was already in his late teens, suddenly fell ill, and after a careful examination by doctors, he was diagnosed with lung cancer**, which was so serious that even doctors did not have much hope for his condition this time, asserting that he only had a few months to live.
After nine years of companionship, after ups and downs, they finally became married, but the heavens were not beautiful, and Qiao Guanhua's condition deteriorated sharply in the ninth year of their happy life. Hearing the news, Zhang Hanzhi was in pain, but she did not give up, and still took care of Qiao Guanhua after work, her sincerity touched the heavens, Qiao Guanhua's condition miraculously stabilized at the most dangerous moment, although it was repeated from time to time, but the overall development was in a good direction.
In the summer of 1983, Qiao Guanhua suddenly became seriously ill, and his health deteriorated, which made Zhang Han's heart like a knife. But she held back her tears, smiled at his bedside every day, accompanied him, read books to him, and told him interesting things.
Qiao Guanhua knew her pain very well, but seeing his wife trying so hard to comfort him, he could only obey. Between the two, the wordless tacit understanding and understanding are moving.
Qiao Guanhua woke up on September 22, 1983, feeling refreshed. Zhang Hanzhi also noticed this, and the two looked forward to the improvement of their condition. Qiao Guanhua held Zhang Hanzhi's hand tightly, hoping to say more, but the sentence was still choppy.
Zhang Hanzhi fed him some warm water, but after a few sips, she found that she couldn't feed it anymore. She nervously touched Qiao Guanhua's nose and found that he had passed away.
At 10:40 a.m. that day, Qiao Guanhua passed away. Although they had a premonition of his departure, they still couldn't resist the arrangement of Destiny.
As a well-loved diplomat in our country, Qiao Guanhua's funeral has attracted widespread attention. There are different opinions on how to deal with issues such as the publication of the first newspaper and the placement of ashes.
In the face of the controversy, Zhang Hanzhi was grief-stricken, but did not clearly express his opinion. In the end, she proposed to **, which mainly includes the following three points: first, the official farewell ceremony can be omitted, organized by the family itself, and the public is welcome to participate voluntarily; Second, there is no need for official announcements and eulogies; Finally, the ashes can be disposed of by the family themselves, and there is no need to be buried in Babaoshan Cemetery.
After full discussion and respect, it was decided that Zhang Hanzhi would be personally responsible for Qiao Guanhua's funeral arrangements. On October 25, this simple and solemn farewell ceremony was held in Beijing Hospital, and Qiao Guanhua's old friends came to see him off.
Zhang Hanzhi received Qiao Guanhua's urn, looking at this box that was only one foot square, as if he saw the time they spent together again. They met and fell in love with the chairman.
Zhang Hanzhi's father was Zhang Shizhao, an educator and scholar, who was the secretary general of the **army** in 1920 and had a great influence in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles.
When Cai Hesen and others asked him for funding for participating in the work-study program in France, they especially brought a letter from Zhang Shizhao's old friend Yang Changji, and Zhang Shizhao immediately donated a huge amount of 20,000 yuan.
This money was eventually used as a financial aid for students going to France, and the rest was used for revolutionary activities in Hunan. As a result of this selfless help, Zhang Shizhao and *** have established a deep friendship and have kept in touch ever since.
At a party, ** got acquainted with Zhang Shizhao's daughter Zhang Hanzhi. During the chat, ** learned that Zhang Hanzhi taught English at Beijing Foreign Chinese College, and his level was very good, so he offered to let Zhang Hanzhi become his English teacher.
Zhang Hanzhi was both surprised and happy when he heard this proposal, and readily agreed to his request.
In the 70s of the last century, China's diplomatic undertaking entered a new stage, and the demand for qualified personnel was also increasing. At that time, the number of female diplomats in China was relatively small, so I hoped that Zhang Hanzhi could join the team after completing the foreign language education reform.
With his excellent eloquence and outstanding talent, Zhang Hanzhi has taught in the School of Foreign Languages for many years, and his foreign language level has reached a very high level.
And Zhang Hanzhi did not live up to the expectations of ***, she was promoted step by step from a general clerk in the *** Asia Division, and finally became the deputy director.
She has won unanimous recognition and high praise from her colleagues for her outstanding diplomatic skills, and is known as one of the "Five Golden Flowers". What's more coincidental is that here, she met the love of her life - Qiao Guanhua.
Qiao Guanhua's original wife Gong Peng has been dead for more than two years, and he was attracted by Zhang Hanzhi's talent and charm, and he had a hazy good impression of her in his heart.
Working together, they spend more and more time together, and their understanding of each other is deepening day by day. Qiao Guanhua's feelings for Zhang Hanzhi became clearer and clearer. So, he found Zhang Hanzhi and confessed to her in English: "I love you, will you marry me?."
I love you, will you marry me? Faced with this sudden marriage proposal, Zhang Hanzhi was very surprised, but she firmly rejected Qiao Guanhua, bluntly saying that the possibility of the two of them being together was very small.
Zhang Hanzhi's reaction actually stemmed from his deep admiration for Qiao Guanhua's talent and charm. Although Qiao Guanhua is nearly sixty years old, he is personable, gentle and elegant, and charming.
This kind of charm made Zhang Hanzhi have deep feelings for Qiao Guanhua, and also made Qiao Guanhua bravely propose to her. Therefore, bravely chasing love and eventually becoming a family member is the real answer to this story.
Because of his failed marriage in the past, Zhang Hanzhi was afraid and resistant to re-entering the marriage hall, and at the same time, he was also very interested in the unexpected world, so he rejected the marriage proposal with Qiao Guanhua.
Although Qiao Guanhua's wife has been dead for two years, the two of them coming together in this situation will still attract doubts and discussions from the outside world.
Zhang Hanzhi poured out his doubts on the letter paper and handed it to Qiao Guanhua. After Qiao Guanhua read it, he wrote back to encourage her: "This is a matter that belongs to the two of us, don't give up your dreams and your right to love because of the guidance of outsiders!" ”
The two began to communicate through letters, Zhang Hanzhi poured out his troubles unreservedly, while Qiao Guanhua was like a warm-hearted friend, patiently enlightening her and helping her open up to this relationship.
Qiao Guanhua's soft and firm strength gradually melted the stubbornness in Zhang Han's heart, and her attitude slowly softened. In the end, she accepted Qiao Guanhua's love.
In March 1973, they were frank with each other and confirmed their affection for each other, and from then on, they were not only colleagues, but also lovers and revolutionary comrades-in-arms, facing challenges together.
Although their relationship did not sprout for a long time, it was full of sincerity and purity. In December, Qiao Guanhua moved into Zhang Shizhao's former residence, lived with Zhang Hanzhi, and officially became husband and wife.
A few months before the two got married, ** invited Zhang Hanzhi to become China's first female ambassador abroad through Qiao Guanhua, but Zhang Hanzhi considered that the relationship between the two had just budded and was unwilling to endure the pain of long-term separation, so he took the initiative to go to *** to give up this job.
Zhang Hanzhi chose love between career and love, and missed the opportunity to become China's first female ambassador abroad, although she had some regrets, but she gained a deep relationship with Qiao Guanhua.
In love and career, they have always been connected, supported each other, and spent nine years together. Qiao Guanhua's death made Zhang Hanzhi grief-stricken, and he wanted to go with him several times, but he was rescued.
Eventually, she let go of her grief, picked herself up, and started her own creative path. With her outstanding talent, she has created a series of works, including "Qiao Guanhua and Me", "My Father Zhang Shizhao and Me", "Crossing the Thick Red Gate", "Ten Years of Wind and Rain" and "Hometown Trip".
In January 2008, Zhang Hanzhi died in Chaoyang Hospital in Beijing at the age of 73. Epilogue At the UN General Assembly in 1971, Qiao Guanhua officially stepped onto the podium of the UN General Assembly for the first time as a representative of the People's Republic of China, and he delivered an impassioned speech, which won warm applause from the audience, and China also restored its legitimate seat in the United Nations at this meeting.
Qiao Guanhua's laughter at the meeting was named "Qiao's Laughter" and published in major newspapers, and it is still included in China's history textbooks. From Qiao Guanhua, we can see the glory and pride of New China's diplomacy, and he has won dignity and respect for China with his wisdom and courage.
Qiao Guanhua's life was devoted to China's revolution and diplomatic cause, and his outstanding performance has made great contributions to the development and construction of the country in any field!
