Introduction Among the founding generals of
, whoever loves to drink the most is undoubtedly " Xu Shiyou ".
During his more than 60 years of military service, Xu Shiyou can be said to be extremely "fascinated" by wine, almost to the point of "you can skip meals, but you must drink alcohol." Z5z
Admiral Xu Shiyou
's outrageous personality makes him often like to toast and drink when dealing with people, which can hurt many people who cannot drink enough. When I got interested, I also like to fight with others. There are many "jokes" made for this. It is a lie to say that it has no effect.
However, on the issue of Xu Shiyou wine, Premier Zhou and Xu Shiyou drank once and cured Xu Shiyou’s problem. In Xu Shiyou’s words: "Drink, I only serve Premier Zhou" . Z5z
Premier Zhou’s wine: If you say a toast, you’ll have a toast. Xu Shiyou has been "drinking party" since ancient times. Z1z
has said that since ancient times, there has been a "civilian military commander". Differentiated by military officers. Perhaps in our eyes, Premier Zhou has always played the role of a "civilian", always in the impression of being approachable and amiable.
But Premier Zhou who can lead and organize the Nanchang Uprising , many times, more often, he brought the warm side to the world. In fact, Premier Zhou is a bloody man. From a small glass of wine, from drinking, Premier Zhou's rigid, rational, and outstanding political ability was fully revealed. As a famous diplomat after the founding of the People's Republic of China,
had to drink and socialize, and his wine and the large amount of wine made many foreign leaders and officials who had contacted him praised. During the Long March of the Red Army, Premier Zhou once drank 25 cups of wine with one or two cups. During the Chongqing negotiations in 1945, Premier Zhou was the invincible Chairman Mao, and he resisted the "no-heartedness". Toast with kindness, I still have a good spirit and speak appropriately. The reporter at the time even said: "Z3z defeated the entire Kuomintang with one Zhou Enlai."
Chongqing peace talks
During the US President Nixon’s visit to China, he had a banquet with Premier Zhou. Nixon was very happy. When he returned home, he often mentioned to his family that he had drank a lot of Moutai in a happy mood. Zhou Enlai was a great diplomatic figure.
Prime Minister Zhou drank, the accompanying staff always said: Prime Minister drinks , says toast to toast, but never persuaded wine to drink . The other party can drink as much as he can, and he can't drink and drink all by himself. Not only does he respect each other, but he is also commendable.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, although contact with alcohol is essential, Premier Zhou always warned his subordinates not to make mistakes because of drinking, and to put work first. For going out to work, the entourage often severely criticized the behavior of persuading and filling alcohol.
As for Xu Shiyou's problem of "troubles" when drinking, Premier Zhou knew about it very early, and often admonished him not to listen. In the war years, this may be difficult to tolerate. However, in peace times, as a country's senior generals, this kind of "big boss" behavior is not just a personal problem, and sometimes even a national image problem. "Bagging" can be cured after drinking.
One day, when Premier Zhou returned home when he was free, he invited Xu Shiyou and the staff to gather for a drink. Hearing that Premier Zhou was going to invite himself to drink, Xu Shiyou was very happy to attend the appointment. On the
wine table, Xu Shiyou had a few cups, and started to fight again. At this time Premier Zhou came over and said to compare with Xu Shiyou to see who has a lot of alcohol. Xu Shiyou didn't take it seriously.
After drinking a bottle of white wine, Xu Shiyou was a little bit upset. For the sake of face, he drank another bottle with Premier Zhou. At this time, Xu Shiyou only felt that the world was spinning.
"I know that you have been taking this sip, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, and I have to have a good drink tonight."
Premier Zhou smiled and said to Xu Shiyou, then another person opened a bottle and gave Xu Shiyou and himself were full, picked up the glass and drank again. At this time, Xu Shiyou already knew that he couldn't drink anymore, and stood up and waved his hand to decline. It doesn't matter if you don't stand, your heels are unstable when you stand, and you sit on the ground, causing everyone to roar with laughter.
Xu Shiyou and Premier Zhou
thisXu Shiyou, who claims to be "heavy to drink" every day, was embarrassed now, and later he realized that this was a problem that Premier Zhou deliberately wanted to cure him. From then on, although Xu Shiyou did not quit drinking, he drank very little and never stopped fighting.
Premier Zhou: Three cups of wine and 300 million catties of food
Prime Minister Zhou, the hard-working state affairs, the biggest wish is to fundamentally solve the problem of people's livelihood, the minimum food and clothing problem. He often took his staff to inspect impoverished areas. When he saw that people in many places were suffering from hunger and cold, and they couldn't eat rice grains even with boiled water, Premier Zhou often had tears in his eyes and was heartbroken.
No matter where he goes to solve the food and clothing problem in poor areas, he always keeps it in his heart, as long as there is a chance, he will spare no effort to fight for it.
On September 17, 1961, Premier Zhou came to Lushan, Jiangxi to participate in the working meeting of the CPC Central Committee. On the second day after the meeting, he had a light meal with Yang Shangkui, head of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, Liu Junxiu and . During the
period, Yang Shangkui, Liu Junxiu and others kept talking to Premier Zhou about his leadership of the Nanchang Uprising in Jiangxi, and greetings to the Premier.
Premier Zhou waved his hand and smiled modestly. When Liu Junxiu got up to offer Premier Zhou a glass, Premier Zhou stood up, but he did not pick up the glass. As soon as the topic of
turned around, Premier Zhou said:
"Jiangxi is a good place, and it has contributed a lot to the country in recent years. Especially during the difficult period of the past few years, it has provided great support to the country in terms of food. This should be supported by the people. Praise. So Comrade Joon-soo, you can toast me this glass of wine, but I have the conditions."
has always heard of Liu Junxiu, the prime minister who has a good drinker, and thought that Premier Zhou would have a few more glasses with him, so I hurriedly asked Prime Minister Zhou." What are the conditions?" Premier Zhou did not speak, but he took the wine glass and filled it up, holding it up and looking up at Liu Junxiu.
"After doing this glass of wine, Jiangxi will increase the foreign grain by 100 million catties. If you do two cups, then you will give 200 million catties. If we do three cups, you will give 300 million catties. Do you think it is good."
, Liu Junxiu, who has always been bold, began to feel that the wine glass in his hand was extremely heavy. He was embarrassed and said: "Prime Minister, the country has given us a task of 1.2 billion catties. I definitely have a lot of one, but suddenly it will be 300 million catties. I am afraid that it will be difficult."
heard what Liu Junxiu said, Premier Zhou Smiled and said:
Jiangxi is rich and has a relatively high grain output. There are still grain reserves in the annual survey. Jin, Lu, and Yu, which are severely short of grain, cannot compare with you. The 300 million catties difficulty is difficult, but it is no problem to overcome it. .
Hearing Premier Zhou's comment, all those sitting there are sensible people. When the prime minister spoke on this occasion, it should be that the food issue was bothering his heart. He started to tease Liu Junxiu on this topic.
Liu Junxiu was also reasonable. After a while, he held up his glass: "We understand the prime minister's mood, and we will do what you want. 300 million is 300 million!"
Liu Junxiu
just like that, three glasses of wine, the prime minister drinks 300 million catties of relief food came. After drinking three cups, the prime minister poured another one and killed everyone. He has a ruddy complexion, but everyone knows that it is not because of the wine, but because of the 300 million catties of grain in his heart. Prime Minister
's wine: What I drank is the diplomacy and people's happiness of New China.
In the early days of the founding of New China, the Western countries headed by the United States "have eyes on and suppressed this new country."
adopted a series of policies including political isolation, economic blockade and military threat , in an attempt to strangle New China in the cradle. As the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of New China, Zhou Enlai faced him with a difficult battle to break the situation.
The Geneva conference in 1954 was a turning point for the world to recognize China. From the moment he got off the plane, he swaggered and was doomed to be extraordinary.
Geneva meeting: During the meeting of Prime Minister Zhou
, he fought against the "sixteen nations" with reason, force and discipline. To blunt the United States as the representative party is speechless.
His frankness during the meeting and in private has greatly admired diplomats from all over the world. The dramatic scene was staged. Many national representatives in the American camp gradually agreed with Premier Zhou’s views, but the United States was unable to reveal it.
is like the Canadian representative. Although he was still fighting with the Chinese representative at the meeting, he came directly to hold Premier Zhou in private and said: "Sorry, please forgive me, I have to do what I mean." He won the respect of the world with practical actions. .
Geneva Conference
Of course, the topic of diplomacy has to return to wine, whether it is receiving foreign guests or foreign guests. Premier Zhou drinks, as long as it is a toast, no matter how big or small the position is, he never leaves anyone behind.
Sometimes there are too many people, even if he makes a sip, he has to drink more than ten cups in a circle. Compared to some people’s targeted toasting to certain people, Premier Zhou’s impression is very deep. Even the concierge will remember him and praise him highly.
The world got to know Zhou Enlai and laid the groundwork for Premier Zhou's future diplomatic success. Despite the pressure and interference from the United States, since the establishment of diplomatic relations with France in 1964, the breakthrough of Western powers has been opened, and the United States cannot stop it. In 1972, the United States was also forced to put down its head and establish diplomatic relations with China. President Nixon personally visited China, and subsequently China, Britain, and China and Japan established diplomatic relations.
26 years of Prime Minister's career, the diplomatic situation of New China has not been blocked, and 107 countries have established diplomatic relations with China. This is inseparable from Premier Zhou's outstanding diplomatic ability, speaking ability, and even wine culture.
With diplomacy, there will be various economic and trade exchanges and cooperation. Only when the best is used to make up for the shortcomings will the country become stronger and stronger, and the people will live better and better.
Just as Nixon’s visit to China mentioned earlier, the 74-year-old Premier Zhou had toiled day and night and his physical condition was not optimistic. For the sake of the people of the country, he still accompanies Nixon to drink, and it is to make Nixon drink back a meal that the United States often mentions.
January 8, 1976, this great proletarian revolutionist left the motherland and people he cared for forever due to illness.
is a small glass, Premier Zhou drank " diplomatic art ". What I drank was " people happy life ".
