In the 60s, in order to oppose the hegemony of the Soviet Union, during the open debate between China and the Soviet Union, Qiao Guanhua was as usual a major member of the "Xiucai Group" concentrated in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. In the "Declaration War" in 1963, Qiao Guanhua worked tirelessly day and night to draft more than a dozen statements in a row, which shows his extraordinary skills.
**Appreciate the article written by Qiao Guanhua. In the mid-60s, the chairman once wrote a congratulatory letter to an African head of state, and because the chairman was busy with his work, he asked the first comrade to draft the first draft, and after writing it, the chairman was not satisfied with it, saying: "The article is as hard as iron, and the reading is full of blood."
Subsequently, the chairman named Qiao Guanhua. 520 statement, probably due to the work counterpart, was also instructed by Qiao Guanhua to draft, it is said that after "Old Joe" was instructed, a bottle of good wine was placed on the dining table at his house that night, and one night, he took out the first draft of this magnificent article.
** Qiao Guanhua, in addition to "Old Joe" is good at writing articles, there are other factors. A major feature of Qiao Guanhua's work is that he is often able to put forward his own unique, meticulous, and pertinent views on the international situation in which there are different opinions, which reflects his solid foundation and long-term tempering in terms of theoretical and policy level and comprehensive analysis ability. At the same time, coupled with his strong writing skills, he wrote a report on current affairs, which was outlined and analyzed. No wonder *** appreciates him.
At the end of 1968, Qiao Guanhua resumed work. By 1971, three major events had occurred in China that had a profound impact on China itself and the world. Qiao Guanhua played an important role in these historical dramas, so that he quickly rose to the "apex of his life" shortly after he got rid of his bad luck.
That night, Qiao Guanhua drank heartily at home, when the wine was strong, the neighbor Fu Hao also came to talk because of excitement and sleeplessness, Qiao Guanhua turned around and took out an unopened bottle of Moutai, the two talked and drank, talking about the past and the present, improvised poems, and the interest was very high. Qiao Guanhua listened to Fu Hao chanting a Tang poem, pondered for a moment, suddenly drank the moss in his hand, stood up excitedly, and chanted as he walked: "The moon black goose flies high, ** night escape, no need to ride lightly, the fire ** burns." After chanting, he drank it all again, and soared into the sky.
Later, Guo Moruo saw his new "Plugged Song" and gave it to Qiao Guanhua: "'The moon black goose flies high......'Coincidence, wonderful, the title into a shaft, happily ordered to write, in order to show the appreciation of the strange text, good things and wishes. Comrade Qiao Guanhua sat on the motto, looking at the case and being surprised. ”
Unforgettable tension of "913 "Just over a month after the incident, Dr. Kissinger, the special envoy of the United States, came to negotiate the Sino-US joint communiqué during Nixon's visit to China. Qiao Guanhua, China's vice minister, is one of the main drafters of the "joint communique". He met and received Kissinger and his entourage.
On October 26, Kissinger was going back to the United States, and in the Hongqi car driving from Diaoyutai to the airport, Qiao Guanhua's conversation with Kissinger was no longer a serious meeting, but a relaxed and lively chat. "Doctor, do you think that my country will be able to restore its seat in this year's General Assembly? What about the current UN General Assembly voting on this? ”
Kissinger smiled without thinking: "I don't think you will be able to enter the UN General Assembly this year." "So, when do you think we'll be able to get in?" Qiao Guanhua blinked. Kissinger lifted his glasses a little deeply, thought for a moment and said: "It is estimated that next year will be about the same, and after Nixon** visits China, you will be able to enter." ”
Qiao Guanhua raised his head and laughed, still so bold: "I can't see it, right!?" It turned out that just when Kissinger was about to leave Diaoyutai, ** quietly told Qiao that the results of the UN General Assembly vote had been heard, and the proposal to restore all China's legitimate rights in the United Nations and immediately expel the representatives of the Kuomintang clique from all UN organs was passed by an overwhelming majority.
In order not to embarrass Kissinger, Zhou did not tell him the news. After sending Kissinger away, Qiao Guanhua imagined that Dr. Kissinger would receive a call from the United States when he was flying in the air, and what would he be like when he heard the news of China's entry into the United Nations, was he surprised, disappointed, or embarrassed?
In the afternoon of the same day, the relevant personnel were convened in the Great Hall of the People to discuss whether China should send a delegation to attend the UN General Assembly. In the political atmosphere of the time, people regarded the United Nations as a "forum for bourgeois reactionaries" and an undemocratic forum manipulated by the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union. At that time, after repeated discussions, it was proposed not to send a delegation to attend the current session of the General Assembly. When *** called ** to inquire about this, ** reported *** the opinion of the discussion.
Without thinking, clear instructions: "If you want to go, why not go?" I'll go in a group right away. It was the black African brothers who carried us in, and if we didn't go, we would be separated from the masses. * said to ***: "Send a delegation to the UN General Assembly and let 'Master Qiao' be the head of the delegation." "Master Qiao" is Qiao Guanhua.
At 8 p.m. on November 8, the night before leaving for the United Nations General Assembly, President ** met with all the members of the Chinese delegation in the Fujian Hall of the Great Hall of the People. When we go to the United Nations, we must adopt the principle of Aqing's sister-in-law, neither humble nor arrogant, and not be afraid of making mistakes; of course, we must conduct investigation and study, but we must not investigate everything well before talking. ”
At the Beijing airport on November 9, the visiting Chinese delegation was warmly greeted by party and government leaders and more than 4,000 people in the capital, and representatives of diplomatic envoys from more than 60 countries in Beijing were also seen off at the airport. Indeed, the specifications for the send-off are those of the highest level of national delegations.
At 10:30 a.m. U.S. time on Nov. 15, General Assembly President Malik called it a "historic moment." Qiao Guanhua, Huang Hua, Fu Hao, Xiong Xianghui and others walked into the conference hall and sat down. Perhaps by coincidence, or by deliberate arrangement, the Chinese and American delegations first met in the corridor of the United Nations Grand Chamber. In the green-carpeted hallway outside the conference hall, Bush was playing at a table at the edge of the hall. When Qiao Guanhua walked past him, he reached out and shook Qiao's hand.
Good morning, Mr. Secretary", Bush said.
Good morning", Qiao Guanhua replied with a smile.
This first meeting was friendly. Of course, the arrival of the Chinese delegation has embarrassed the Americans, who have tried to prevent China from entering the United Nations, and it is indeed much more natural and relaxed for the US side to shake hands with the Chinese delegates here than to see them in full view of the official occasions in the conference hall.
A large number of photojournalists flocked to take historic shots of the People's Republic of China's delegation sitting at the United Nations, and Qiao Guanhua sat at the top of the Chinese delegation, smiling, confident, chic and a little proud.
The welcome ceremony was unprecedented. Originally, the plenary meeting on 15 May was convened with the "World Disarmament Conference" as its agenda, but many Member States devoted their time to making speeches welcoming the Chinese delegation, and after the President of the General Assembly delivered a welcoming speech, representatives of 57 countries took the stage one after another to deliver welcoming speeches, and the welcoming ceremony lasted for a whole day.
The representative of the United States, George. Bush took only one and a half minutes to speak, while Japanese representative Kazuzu Nakagawa delivered an even shorter congratulatory message, expressing a warm welcome to Beijing in 123 words. About a minute, on the way back to his seat, he stretched out his hand to Qiao Guanhua to ask for a handshake, and "Old Joe" stretched out his hand to ...... with a calm and faint expression
The last person to take the podium was Qiao Guanhua, who was also the first time that a representative of New China officially stepped onto the podium of the UN General Assembly. His slender figure, dressed in navy blue**, holding a snow-white speech, in the solemnity and justice, he walked briskly to the pulpit, full of vitality; He was radiant, his eyes were bright and sharp, full of pride and confidence. After standing on the rostrum, he nodded gently to the President of the General Assembly on the rostrum, which was a historic moment before he was ready to speak.
At this moment, the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous applause in silence. He (and the new China he represents) was cheered for half a minute. Twice, he raised his right hand and smiled to thank the Assembly. When Qiao Guanhua finished speaking, warm applause echoed in the United Nations hall for a long time.
The high degree of witness to Qiao Guanhua's speech and his concern for himself naturally are, first of all, backed by the strong People's Republic of China. It is because of the strength and correctness of the content of his speech, and the result of the victory of the independent and peaceful diplomatic line; At the same time, Qiao Guanhua's demeanor and charm have also had a considerable impact. He made pertinent and powerful speeches on a series of issues such as disarmament, the Middle East, and the India-Pakistan conflict. His demeanor of a great country, who is neither humble nor arrogant, talks and laughs freely, is full of self-confidence, and is free to sway, has greatly enhanced China's prestige in the international forum.
A philosopher once said, "Every man has a vertex in his life, and at that apex, all causes come into play and produce effects." It is the noon of life, and the active energy reaches a state of balance and shines brilliantly. ”
It can be said that in November 1971, Qiao Guanhua's activities at the 26th session of the United Nations General Assembly were the "culmination of his life", "all the reasons played a role and produced effects", and this was the noon of his life, shining brilliantly. "Due to Qiao Guanhua's talent and his outstanding activities in this session of the General Assembly, from 1971 to 1976, China sent a Chinese delegation headed by Qiao Guanhua to attend the General Assembly.
After Qiao Guanhua returned to China, he praised him and his colleagues admired him. Less than two months after the end of the diplomatic activities of the United Nations, on February 21, 1972, Nixon's visit to China was another major event in the history of Chinese diplomacy. The talks between Qiao Guanhua and Kissinger on drafting the joint communiqué were the most arduous talks.
He and Kissinger hid in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, carefully scrutinizing every word of the communiqué. On 24 February, the two sides began substantive negotiations on the Taiwan issue. The two diplomatic geniuses of China and the United States have been invoking arguments and arguments on the basis of reason, and they have not given in to each other; And every time it comes to the moment, both sides will relax the taut strings, say a few witty words to ease the tension, and cover up their firm positions with a relaxed and friendly attitude. Both are skilled diplomats and skilled in the art of negotiation.
On a specific wording, Qiao Guanhua proposed that it is better to use the "prospect" of peacefully settling the Taiwan issue instead of the "premise." He winked and said: "The use of 'prospect' means more positive, showing that it is the opinion of both sides."And the 'premise' seems to be something unilaterally imposed by Washington. Kissinger agreed, and said with a grin: "I don't think Taiwan's fate depends on such a subtle difference in vocabulary." ”
A breakthrough has been made in the Jocki talks, at which point *** participates in the negotiations to finalize the draft. Later, Zhou asked *** and the Politburo for approval, which was the Shanghai Sino-US joint communiqué that caused strong repercussions and far-reaching significance.
In 1974, the land of China set off an overwhelming movement of "criticizing forests and criticizing holes", and in this turbulent year, Qiao Guanhua served as the first minister. He set up the ...... of the "Criticizing Forests and Criticizing Holes" movement
The domestic situation is changing, and Qiao Guanhua is in the whirlpool of history. However, in the field of "professional" diplomatic work, he still does not lose his true qualities and is majestic. In 1975, at the age of 62, Qiao Guanhua led the Chinese delegation to the United Nations General Assembly for the fifth time. In October 1976, Qiao Guanhua led a delegation to attend the 31st session of the United Nations General Assembly as scheduled, which was the sixth and last time he led a delegation to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
During his time at the United Nations General Assembly, he learned from a telegram sent from China that he had smashed the "Gang of Four" in one fell swoop. Qiao Guanhua was shocked. Qiao Guanhua hurried back to China, and he saw the red flags and flowers in Tiananmen Square, a scene that had not been seen for many years. Qiao Guanhua was silent. The three words Qiao Guanhua, which often appears in prominent positions in newspapers, are gone.
In August 1978, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. In the Beijing hospital, Qiao Guanhua is often walking with his head held high and his hands behind his back, his slender figure, wearing a cloak-like pajamas, pacing around thoughtfully; Still diplomatic; It's just that his expression is grim, his eyes are cold, and he looks a little sad and solemn.
In the fall of 1980, Qiao Guanhua recuperated at home after "chemotherapy", and he was still studying diligently at home. In the spring of 1982, Qiao Guanhua's lung cancer** metastasized and was hospitalized for a long time again**. In the autumn of 1983, everything was bleak and a cool breeze hit people, and Qiao Guanhua's condition deteriorated sharply.
On September 21st, Xia Yan came, it was Qiao Guanhua's old friend who had been friends for nearly half a century and respected very much, and a low call made "Old Qiao" open his eyes. Xia Gong asked him what he said, Qiao Guanhua only said one sentence, and the last sentence was his favorite Song Ci, full of patriotism, Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" in "Who has never died since ancient times"....
