Two days ago, the domineering speech of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spread all social media. The confidence and confidence of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the face of the United States made everyone feel excited.
In fact, our Chinese family has always been very moderate in foreign policy, and may even be considered "too weak". However, when we look back on history, it is not difficult to find that China has never given up on all issues related to the bottom line.
At the meeting when China returned to the United Nations in 1971, Qiao Guanhua talked about the heroes, leaving Western powers speechless . When the achievements of China's legal seat were announced to be restored, Qiao Guanhua couldn't help but smile, leaving a very classic photo.
This photo is still left in textbooks. The New York Times even said that Qiao Guanhua's smile "shattered the glass of the UN UN conference hall."
Qiao Guanhua's smile is not only because he is happy that China can hold his head up internationally in the future, but also because he has not let down the expectations of great men.
After all, before leaving, Chairman Mao once specifically reminded him to strengthen his courage: "Don't be afraid of saying it wrong" , and Qiao Guanhua not only did not make any mistakes, but also completed this arduous diplomatic task outstandingly!
Revolutionary talent for learning geniuses
1913, Qiao Guanhua was born in a gentleman's family in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. He was born smart and had excellent grades since childhood. He skipped the grade all the way. At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Tsinghua University and became the youngest among the same students. Even if you are now in the learning experience, it can be called a genius, let alone under the conditions of very scarce educational resources at that time.
1933, Qiao Guanhua came to Japan to continue studying , but was expelled from the country for participating in revolutionary activities. Soon after, he came to Germany again and continued to study in the Department of Philosophy. He became a knowledgeable doctor at the age of 23.
As for learning, Qiao Guanhua's experience was very smooth, just like a cheat, but in the environment at that time, Qiao Guanhua believed that his personal achievements were not as good as the independence and prosperity of the motherland.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Qiao Guanhua realized that pure theoretical study could not save China's , so he resolutely gave up the superior living conditions abroad, returned to the embrace of his motherland, and continued to devote himself to the revolutionary cause.
During the semester in Germany, Qiao Guanhua used all his extracurricular time to study military science, fully utilized his revolutionary talent, extensively studied international current affairs, and discussed war history and military geography with his friends, laying a solid foundation for writing articles later.
criticizes current affairs and must be appreciated
After returning to China, Qiao Guanhua's revolutionary path did not go very smoothly. At the beginning, he first served as a colonel in the Guangzhou Staff Office in the Kuomintang. His main work was to collect foreign military intelligence and international current affairs, and then compile and publish it in internal publications.
However, Guangzhou fell in less than a year, and Qiao Guanhua was forced to go into exile in Hong Kong. founded the "Current Affairs Evening News" in Hong Kong and served as the editor-in-chief , and began to publish editorials and political comments to the outside world.
At the beginning, everyone didn't care about this unknown newspaper weekly, but when they carefully read Qiao Guanhua's words, they were involuntarily attracted.
The famous writer Feng Yidai once praised: "The day the editorial of the "State Evening News" is the day when Hong Kong readers go around and tell each other. Especially when Qiao Guanhua's article is published, it brings a breeze to the steaming and humid southern country, and makes people see a glimmer of hope for the current situation."
Qiao Guanhua's criticism of current affairs was a great success. Due to his complex learning background - studying in a private school as a child, he laid a deep foundation of Chinese studies, and learned advanced revolutionary ideas and rich military and political knowledge during his study abroad.
Therefore, his international political comments are not only beautiful in language, but also have a sharp style of humor and humor, which makes people applaud and impress after reading.
It is said that the great man has also read Qiao Guanhua's words and praised his article "It has analysis, atmosphere, and the article is like a thousand troops. I read an article he wrote is equivalent to two tank divisions"!
However, half a year later, due to funding issues, the "Current Affairs Evening News" had to announce the suspension of publication. Qiao Guanhua left the newspaper and moved into the home of classmate Wen Kanglan.
Change of revolutionary stance
During this period of time in the Wen family, he met many communists, such as Lianguan and Liao Chengzhi. They often held salons in cafes to talk about their views on current affairs and politics.
During the contact process, Qiao Guanhua's revolutionary stance changed , so in 1939, he officially joined the Communist Party of China, founded the "China News Service" the following year and served as president. He was successively appointed as the editorial board of "HuaShang Daily" and "Popular Life".
At that time, the War of Resistance Against Japan was in a trough period. Aspiring young people were only ambitious but did not know how to act. It was Qiao Guanhua who used his reputation accumulated over the years to spread the voice of the Communist Party of China, lighting a beacon for these confused young people.
After the fall of Hong Kong, Qiao Guanhua came to Chongqing. Every Tuesday, the Xinhua Daily published an article , conquering the mountain city with his own words, and also met the two most important people in life, one is his wife Gong Peng and the other is Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou helped Qiao Guanhua start his diplomatic career, and Gong Peng gave Qiao Guanhua great help in his entire career. Since then, Qiao Guanhua has begun to be active on the Chinese diplomatic stage and witnessed various famous scenes in the diplomatic circle.
Witnesses of the diplomacy of New China
In 1949, Qiao Guanhua was transferred to Beijing to work and served as director of the International News Bureau of the General Administration of News. His wife Gong Peng served as director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In fact, before this, Qiao Guanhua witnessed the birth of the Double Ten Agreement . Under the careful training of Premier Zhou, a group of outstanding talents with a background in studying abroad, mastering many languages, and having extensive knowledge became the earliest diplomats. Qiao Guanhua is one of the best and also a witness to the diplomacy of New China.
After the founding of New China, Qiao Guanhua was appointed as the deputy director of the Foreign Policy Committee, second only to Premier Zhou in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Under the hard diplomacy of him and other colleagues, Britain recognized the independence of New China in 1950; in 1951, 38-year-old Qiao Guanhua was personally ordered by a great man to participate in the North Korean armistice negotiations, and was polished at the negotiating table for two years, and transformed into a real warrior.
The following first and second Rimova meetings, Qiao Guanhua served as the important responsibility for drafting, modifying and sorting documents, and once again exerted his literary strength.
Because the previous editorials made the great man deeply remembered, Qiao Guanhua was named and written by the great man many times. The Sino-US Joint Communiqué, which was neither humble nor arrogant, and the "520" statement that responded enthusiastically were all written by Qiao Guanhua.
In the diplomatic cause, he devoted himself to the cause of diplomacy, was able to speak loudly during negotiations, and was free to write articles. He truly achieved a glorious and passionate position in diplomatic activities. He was the founder and witness of the diplomatic cause of New China.
crisis or turning point?
In the 1970s, China's foreign policy underwent earth-shaking changes. From the one-sided policy in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the "two fists" in the 1960s to the proposal of three worlds in the 1970s, China's diplomacy is gradually maturing.
Kissinger's visit to China and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan have prevented China from being closed internationally. He finally received a letter from the United Nations and was invited to attend the 26th session of the United Nations.
On the night of receiving the letter, the great held an internal meeting, with the theme of whether to participate in UN General Assembly . At that time, China's seat was occupied by the Kuomintang for decades, and suddenly he left the market sadly because of the passage of the 23-country bill, giving the Communists a chance.
However, is this opportunity a crisis or a turning point? Everyone cannot make a judgment. In the end, the Party Group unified the view that China has never fought unprepared wars. Since the United Nations has passed the resolution, there is no need for China to go.
But people think: "Why don't you go? Go immediately. This is what the African black brothers carried us in. If you don't go, you will be separated from the masses. I have said in the past that you don't rush to enter the United Nations. That's the old emperor's history, and now it doesn't count."
and once again kissed Qiao Guanhua as the head of the delegation, as a trump card in China's diplomacy.
Chairman’s encouragement
In the face of the appointment of the chairman, Qiao Guanhua was not only happy, but also had a little concern. He was afraid that his temporary misconduct would bring disaster.
And the Chairman's words were like a stabilizing needle, magically comforting Qiao Guanhua's concerns. The Chairman said: "Be neither humble nor arrogant, and don't be afraid of saying it wrong."
As a person who suffered a lot in that special period, Qiao Guanhua was once guilty of his words, and he was inevitably scared of it. However, for the benefit of the country, he must be able to hold on to the scene in order to live up to the trust of the Chairman and the people's gaze.
With the courage of the chairman, Qiao Guanhua returned to the optimistic and humorous self of the past, and faced this Shura field with ease, allowing the world to see China's attitude. His speech was praised as "one of the most important speeches in UN history without fail."
In this way, Qiao Guanhua, who represented New China as a permanent member on the forum of the UN General Assembly for the first time, confidently faced representatives of various countries and delivered a speech drafted by himself and carefully revised by Premier Zhou.
Chairman’s encouragement is the confidence to let go of Qiao Guanhua, and the Chairman’s rights and opinions given to Qiao Guanhua is the guarantee of Qiao Guanhua’s success.
And the Chairman said this, of course, was not groundless. At that time, he had the idea of rectifying unhealthy trends, and soon appointed Deng Xiaoping to correct the situation.
Moreover, it was already the general trend that the new China led by the Communist Party returned to the United Nations at that time. As long as we speak on a full investigation, China will occupy the high ground of victory.
From then on, the previous UN General Assembly was attended by delegations led by Qiao Guanhua until 1976. They abdicated and gave way until Qiao Guanhua could no longer afford it. In 1983, Qiao Guanhua died of lung cancer. After his ashes returned to his hometown Taihu Lake after his death.
Because of a smile, Qiao Guan and Huawei worked hard in China's diplomatic career, accompanied him throughout his life, and will eventually be remembered by people!
