Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the diplomatic undertaking has gradually been put on the right track, and its role in promoting the economy should not be underestimated. Behind this, it is inseparable from the joint efforts of previous leaders, especially the ministers, who have made great contributions to the development of diplomacy.
**, known as "the greatest diplomat of the 20th century", is a pioneer of China's diplomatic career. Among many outstanding diplomats, Ji Pengfei, Qiao Guanhua, Huang Hua and others can be called outstanding, and the "godfather of diplomacy"** is even more amazing.
His excellent diplomatic ability is embodied in "never putting on a show, making friends, and seeking peace together", and he is deeply respected and praised by the people.
**, a prominent figure in the diplomatic community, despite his numerous achievements, has never been arrogant. Compared to the honorific title that others give him"Foreign Minister Qian"or"Vice Premier Qian", he prefers to be called by others"Old money"。
There have been many interesting things that have happened to this incident. Once, the newly appointed minister Li Zhaoxing went to visit *** when the guard shouted at the door"Vice Premier Qian", Li Zhaoxing also shouted like him, but was responded to by *** in a weird tone, which made people laugh.
I haven't seen you for so long, and I actually forgot three words of my name, only remembering 'money'. Said with a smile. In fact, this is not the first time Li Zhaoxing has called him "money".
The two met as early as when they were young, and *** was Li Zhaoxing's mentor and friend in his diplomatic career. So, what contribution has ** made to the diplomatic cause of our country?
What is the relationship between him and Li Zhaoxing? Why is he so modest in his title? Let's take a look at the story of this diplomatic wizard. In 1928, ** was born in Tianjin, and his parents hoped that he could contribute to the country, so he named "**".
Although his family was well-off, he spent a carefree childhood in peacetime. However, at that time, China was suffering from internal and external troubles, where could there be a stable life?
In 1931, the "September 18 Incident" broke out, and the Chinese nation began a 14-year period of humiliation.
**During the period of frequent wars and turmoil in China, after the fall of Tianjin, he fled with his family to Shanghai and studied at the High School Affiliated to Datong University. With his excellent results, he showed a "promising future".
However, unlike those "self-preservationists" who only care about their own safety, he has great ambitions at a young age and actively participates*** He firmly believes: "Our country is in turmoil, and as young people, we all have the responsibility to serve the country, save the people, and pull the nation back from the brink of life and death." ”
In 1942, adhering to the legacy of his revolutionary ancestors, he joined the Communist Party of China and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause of saving the country and trying to survive. With his higher education, he joined the Shanghai Underground Party and provided valuable intelligence to the frontline battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that he was one of the founders of the party's underground cause, and under his leadership, he was deeply inspired and his revolutionary conviction became more and more firm. He actively organized and mobilized students to participate in "anti-**, anti-hunger, anti-civil war" activities, and performed particularly well.
In 1949, he successively served as a member and deputy secretary of the Xulong District Student District Committee of the Shanghai Underground Party, and a member of the Shanghai Xuhui, Changning and Yangpu District Committees of the Communist Party of China.
He made some achievements in the rear work during the Anti-Japanese War, but his popularity was not high. However, this did not affect his determination to contribute to the country. In his spare time, he studied Russian and other pioneering talents, which not only enriched his knowledge, but also laid a solid foundation for his later career in the field of diplomacy.
**After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he accepted the organization's arrangement to go to the Soviet Union ** regimental school to study. Despite the hardships of his studies, he quickly adapted and became the best in his profession with the knowledge he had accumulated before, and successfully completed the tasks assigned by the organization.
However, his path back to China was different, as he devoted himself to diplomacy during his time in the Soviet Union, and in 1956 he became the second secretary of the Chinese embassy in the Soviet Union.
During his time at the embassy, he gained a wealth of practical experience.
**After returning to China in 1963, he devoted himself to a career in foreign service, and with his outstanding ability and determination, he gradually rose through the ranks to enter the field of education. If it weren't for his ability and determination beyond ordinary people, he might not have been able to make a name for himself in the industry.
In 1972, he returned to work at the Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union, and for several years, he made great efforts and contributions to the diplomatic cause of our country.
During the tense period from 1982 to 1987, Sino-Soviet relations almost fell to a freezing point, with constant friction and crises between the two sides, and even the possibility of large-scale military operations.
However, in this context, he showed excellent diplomatic wisdom and negotiation skills, and repeatedly consulted and negotiated with the Soviet Union, successfully avoiding a head-on conflict between China and the Soviet Union and promoting the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations.
His outstanding performance has brought our country's diplomatic career into the spotlight, and he has been given greater opportunities to make greater contributions to the country.
In 1988, he was appointed as the seventh governor of the People's Republic of China, and five years later, he shined in the post of prime minister, not only put forward many new diplomatic concepts, but also left a strong mark on China's diplomatic career.
Among them, there is nothing more commendable than his meticulous preparations and brilliant speeches on the events of Hong Kong and Macao's return to the motherland. In October 1993, in his spare time at the United Nations General Assembly, he had a conversation with British Foreign Secretary Hurd.
During this conversation, they discussed specific issues in Hong Kong's return to the motherland, such as "the specific date of the handover" and "what kind of return method should be adopted".
**On behalf of our country, in the negotiations, in the face of Hurd's strong attitude and many difficulties, he always remained calm, did not fight hard with Hurd, but talked with a calm attitude, even if Hurd was aggressive, he was not afraid and always maintained a calm face.
Although the two argued over various opinions during the negotiations, Hurd's calmness and stability finally deflated. Despite this, they have not been able to reach a unified consensus on many issues related to Hong Kong's handover.
Despite Hurd's attempt to leave, he concluded with a warm smile: "Overall, there were some positive outcomes from the talks. First of all, the importance we attach to Hong Kong's return to the motherland has been reflected in the fierce debate, which is the basis for our continued deliberations.
Second, despite the controversy, we are all willing to continue the dialogue, which lays the foundation for our future communication. ”
Li Zhaoxing and his ability to observe words and colors have played an important role in controlling the diplomatic negotiations. This ability not only reflects their low-key and introverted character, but also shows their wisdom in "listening to their words and watching their deeds" and negotiating with the strategy of "seeking common ground while reserving differences".
Their way of negotiating has played a positive role in promoting China's early realization of territorial integrity.
** He has made great contributions to China's diplomatic cause, and his influence is far-reaching. Among them, Li Zhaoxing is a typical example. However, what is amazing is that under the guidance of ***, Li Zhaoxing has not only become a new star in the field of diplomacy, but also a key figure.
Li Zhaoxing's growth began with his talent and hard work. He was admitted to Peking University with excellent grades and entered Beijing Foreign Chinese University for further study at the postgraduate level.
These rich experiences opened the door for him in the diplomatic field. Therefore, we can say that Li Zhaoxing's achievements are inseparable from his teacher, and his path is full of gains.
