Hua Chunying
Not angry, self-proclaimed, dignified and decent, this gentle and gentle woman looked at the guns and cannons opposite her calmly, uttering lotus flowers in a slow and leisurely manner, polite and polite without giving in, every word. A heavy weight is a light weight. In the past days of and , Hua Chunying, the "traffic officer" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, was very busy.
Time goes back to November 16, 2012. After the question-and-answer session at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qin Gang, then director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced that Hua Chunying was the new spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are a total of 8 girls in the dormitory, and Hua Chunying is the "second oldest". "Everyone calls her Yingchunhua, because her name happens to be 'Ying Chunhua' upside down, and her birthday happens to be in April."
Sha Zukang
Another diplomat who graduated from the English Department of Nanjing University , is Sha Zukang, the former deputy secretary-general of the United Nations and the first person in China’s hawkish diplomacy.
He is a soldier with strong patriotic enthusiasm, a passionate diplomat, and a warrior who is not afraid of seeing red with his bayonet. In the international diplomatic arena, his wisdom, frankness and perseverance left a deep impression on people.
In the "Yinhe" incident that attracted worldwide attention in 1993, he battled wits with the US investigation team, causing the US government to fall into one embarrassing trap after another dug by himself. It upheld justice and exposed the hegemonic face of the United States that tramples on international law.
He is a very passionate diplomat Sha Zukang.
In 2001, when faced with the British ambassador’s accusations against China for human rights, he responded: When I saw your face, I was reminded of the Opium War. You have forcibly occupied Hong Kong for many years and have never held any elections. How can such a country have the right to criticize China's human rights?
In 2004, when the United States threatened to make anti-China proposals, he said: It is your right to make whether to make anti-China proposals. But I can tell you, I will definitely defeat you, I will definitely beat you!
In 2006, Margaret Chan was elected Director-General of the World Health Organization with 24 votes. As the frontline commander of the Chinese government in Geneva, Sha Zukang shed tears of excitement . On February 9, 2007, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced that he was appointed as the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs.
As China's diplomatic ambassador, Sha Zukang once achieved brilliant "records" that are unimaginable by ordinary people. There are even some "achievements" that today's Chinese ambassador admires. Today, I will introduce to you the legend of the hawk in the history of my country's diplomacy - the iron-blooded Sha Zukang.
Shut up the United States on the issue of arms control
On August 17, 2006, Sha Zukang was interviewed by the British Broadcasting Corporation. When answering the United States' repeated accusations that China's development of armaments threatens the security of other countries, he replied: "Ten years ago, The military expenditure of the United States is equivalent to the gross national product of our country. Let me say that our 1.3 billion people do not need food or drink. All the things we produce, our gross national product, are equivalent to the total military expenditure of the United States. Let us not say Nothing else, just rely on this one.
And we have 15 neighboring countries. It doesn’t matter what the neighboring countries want, but self-defense is our legitimate right. This is the United Nations Charter to ensure the territorial integrity of the country. It is the right of any country and any government to be inviolable.
Self-defense is our legitimate right, which is stipulated in the United Nations Charter.
Finally, he said loudly: "It's better for you to shut up and keep quiet. it ' s much much better."" You (the United States) had better shut up and stay quiet, that's very, very good."
"Why blame China? No! Forget it. It’s high time to shut up! It’s US sovereign right to do whatever they think goodfor them. But don’t tell us what is good for China. Thank you very much."" Why condemn China? No, pull it down! America would be better off shutting up on this issue! The United States has the right to do what they think is good for them. But the United States should not tell China what to do, thank you!
These remarks once again attracted widespread attention from foreign media, which believed that Sha Zukang used undiplomatic rhetoric to accuse the United States, which was shocking. Some media even described Sha Zukang as Zukang was evaluated as China's "hawkish" diplomat. Sha Zukang told reporters: "It is precisely because others do not use such language easily that I use it, so it can be effective."
I think he should shut up because we keep shutting up and we never say anything about you, so why are you harping on us? And what you say is so unfair. So I keep shutting up, why can't you shut up? I think it's normal. It's none of the other diplomats' business to say anything, and I think I should say that I'm glad they finally shut up.
In the past few years, Sha Zukang has used international public opinion and jointly proposed proposals with peace-loving countries to actively promote issues such as banning weapons of mass destruction, banning inhumane weapons and preventing an arms race in outer space. He has also dealt with the North Korean nuclear crisis, Iran He has provided advice and suggestions to the country on nuclear issues and achieved valuable results.
The TV series "Bright Sword" received great response when it was broadcast in China. There is a passage like this: Even if a real swordsman encounters a stronger opponent than himself, even the best swordsman in the world, he should not show weakness and dare to show his sword.
The video of this TV series was screened at the Chinese Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, and Sha Zukang watched it twice. He often tells everyone that to defend the interests and dignity of the country is to have this kind of sword-dazzling spirit.
In fact, this spirit is fully reflected in Sha Zukang. It was in dealing with major crises that his sword-dazzling spirit first attracted worldwide attention, and that was the "Yinhe" incident in 1993.
On July 23, 1993, the United States fabricated an accusation out of thin air that the Chinese freighter "Yinhe" had transported raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons to Iran, causing the "Yinhe" incident that shocked the world. On the high seas, U.S. warships and military aircraft tracked and photographed the freighter "Yinhe" day and night, requiring the country at the port where the "Yinhe" freighter was expected to dock to prevent the freighter from entering the port as planned, leaving the "Yinhe" drifting on the high seas for 24 days. for a long time and was forced to change course. causing serious economic losses to China.
Sha Zukang, then deputy director of the International Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was appointed as the representative of the Chinese government and the head of the Chinese inspection team.
In order to show respect for the international convention on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, China agreed to have Saudi Arabia inspect the "Yinhe" cargo ship at the Dammam port, with the United States as a technical advisor. Sha Zukang felt extremely humiliated and angry when he saw that American soldiers were about to board the deck of the "Yinhe" in disregard of international law and China's dignity.
He gathered all the Chinese crew members, faced the motherland with the most solemn expression and shouted: "Salute!" Then lowered the flag at half-mast. He always reminded all employees of the shame and pain of the "Yinhe", which has national sovereignty, being trampled by bandits. It was not until the "Yinhe" returned to the embrace of the motherland that the national flag was raised again.
The Americans couldn't wait, but Sha Zukang showed wisdom and decisiveness. It was 60 degrees Celsius during the day in Saudi Arabia with 100 degrees humidity. Not only did the Americans wear gas masks when they opened the boxes, but they actually crawled forward. After opening the boxes, they couldn't find the so-called chemicals, so they kept pestering and making trouble unreasonably and made many fools of themselves.
"I was in pain," Sha Zukang said. "Speaking of conscience, you boarded my ship and stepped on my heart every step you took. I feel very uncomfortable. I didn't invite you on board, and I don't have those two chemicals on my ship. Why do you ruin our life like this? Reputation? "
This ship is very big. There are 5 layers of container cargo on the deck, and there are 5 layers below the deck. There are air conditioners, hair dryers, and bright lights under the steel plates. In anger, the Chinese crew did a little trick and turned off the power supply. Of course, we ourselves did the same. Under the cabin, that dark energy let the Japanese enter the village. It was hard to tell the east, west, north, and south, and it was too hot. No matter who the Marines were, the youngest and strongest were tossing under the boat for an hour and a half. I couldn't bear it. When I came up, it was difficult to move while lying on the ground.
They have always responded to the Americans who have trampled on international law and acted arrogantly and unreasonably. There are many similar things. Americans increasingly feel that this Chinese representative is indeed difficult to deal with.
Sha Zukang commented: "I'm really sorry for our foreign friends. They may not feel it is very honorable to do these things, but everyone is very proud because we did not ask you to come on the ship, nor did we ask you to suffer this."
The American soldiers searched the "Galaxy" for more than a week. Every box they checked was empty, until all 728 containers were opened. In the end, the American soldiers' spirits almost collapsed. The inspection results proved that there were no illegal goods on the "Yinhe". Sha Zukang angrily told the Americans: "After a thorough verification, it is categorically shown that there is no such thing at all. In other words, you, the United States, are wrong!"
Before the American representative left, Found Sha Zukang and said: Through the week-long verification, I have deepened my understanding of China, especially Mr. Sha himself. I think that although this happened under special circumstances, I am very honored, I got to know a diplomat like you. You embody China's six thousand years of civilization and wisdom (note: we only have five thousand years, he added one thousand years to me), and I have learned a lot from you.
After the victory, Sha Zukang walked into the press hall. Facing the swarming foreign reporters, he mercilessly exposed the hegemony of the United States and condemned it righteously.
Sha Zukang was born into a peasant family. He graduated from university in 1970 and devoted himself to the diplomatic career. He handled the world-famous Yinhe incident, was responsible for negotiating the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and responded to major diplomatic events such as the first North Korean nuclear crisis. In defending national interests and dignity and striving for fairness and justice, he has achieved victory after victory with his unique diplomatic style.
During his diplomatic career, people remembered a unique saying - If I win, you will win, otherwise you will carry my body out;
Faced with the accusations against China from Western countries, he Let the opponent "take a good look at yourself in the mirror";
When they meet in a narrow road, he said: If you are a man, show your sword and gun;
When he is in a hurry, he will say: If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, hurry up, I don't have time to listen to you. In a roundabout way;
, he even dared to raise his fist and warn the other party: It is your right to make a proposal or not. Just wait, I will definitely beat you;
He dared to slap his chest in front of anyone: I, Sha Zukang, have never lost a battle or lost.
At various meetings held by the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva, as long as Sha Zukang spoke, many representatives would go and listen. Everyone wants to know what wonderful words Lao Sha said at the meeting today. In China's Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, many young diplomats are also imitating him. They are often heard saying: "Did I look like Lao Sha today?"
Some people say that he is too passionate and is completely temperamental. Some people say that he is too flamboyant, fearing that others will not hear what he says; others say that he is too aggressive, disregards diplomatic etiquette, and often loses face to his opponents; others say that he is too principled and will follow anyone who touches him. Who fell out.
But it is recognized that has the ability to defeat his opponents, win happily, and make the Chinese feel proud. As a result, the term "Sasha style" has been widely circulated in Western diplomatic circles. In August 2006, talked about the US accusation of China's military spending. He told Americans to shut up, causing an uproar in the Western media.
Western diplomats said that Americans knew Sha Zukang's temper very well, otherwise they would have sent a note and discussed it carefully. Everyone said that this is the charm of "Sasha style".
Regarding Zhang Yang’s character, Sha Zukang said: "You can only gain respect from your opponents by doing this, and your opponents will not look down upon you. Because every word you say represents your motherland, so others value you. If you are in At this time, if you hesitate and cannot speak clearly, then I think it is a dereliction of duty.
needs to be put in quotation marks and should be 'publicized'! Because your interests are only yours to fight for, fight for, and protect. Others will not protect your interests, because he has no obligation."
He also emphasized: "Whether it is publicity or straightforwardness, this is a style, but there is one thing that must be firmly grasped. That is, you must control policies on major issues. As an ambassador, you are performing your mission on behalf of the country. You must faithfully and unswervingly implement the country's policies. On policy issues, no differences are allowed and must be maintained with the central government. Consistent.
We diplomats are also human beings, with flesh and blood, and people with emotions. In a sense, they are even more emotional, because the most important sign of a diplomat is that he deeply loves his motherland and loves his motherland deeply. Our own people!"
Sha Zukang often calls himself a peasant diplomat. He said: "I was indeed born as a farmer, and I have a rustic flavor. My speech also carries farmers' humor, farmer's boldness, or farmers' "rudeness". My speech is more frank and straightforward, and I don't like to beat around the bush. At the same time, I also have The wisdom of farmers given to me.
I think farmers are very simple and hard-working. They love their land and their hometown. I am a farmer diplomat and I love my motherland.
Looking back on my hometown. During the days in Geneva, he said: "A lot of things happened in these five years, and the work was very tiring. During the four months when I took office, I went to bed at 4 o'clock in the morning, every day, and then it was 3 o'clock. Go to bed, now it's 2 o'clock to 2:30. I don't have holidays, I never have Saturdays, I don't have Sundays.
Except for playing ball and getting sweaty from playing, I spent all my time working. I never entered a store. It seems like there's never enough time, it's been an intense 5 years.
I have faithfully implemented our country's policies, played our country's role on the international stage, and demonstrated our country's fair image. I was relieved that I didn't lose, so it was a very enjoyable 5 years. If I had to do it again, of course I could do it better.
