In the 1930s, a columnist for a British newspaper mentioned the glittering name, arguing that "there are few people in China who are more typical than Dr. Gu Weijun." Approachable, cultured, patient and gentle, no diplomat of the Western world has surpassed him in terms of composure and kindness. ”
Gu Weijun's life was full of magical colors. He was born in a turbulent time when China was poor and weak, and society was quietly undergoing great changes. His life began with the modern history of China. In "Memoirs of Gu Weijun", he described the oppressive atmosphere that enveloped the entire society at that time from the perspective of a child. From an early age, he received a new education and then studied abroad. During his studies at Columbia University, he gradually clarified his interests and research direction, that is, politics. His aim was to serve the nation in order to implement reforms, particularly in the conduct of diplomatic relations. In the face of backward countries, he has set lofty goals since he was a child, striving to serve the motherland and change the face of China.
At an early age, he showed superhuman talent and talent. During his studies at Columbia University, he received two degrees in Bachelor of Arts and Political Science in four years, followed by a Doctor of Laws degree. During his stay in the United States, he successively served as the manager of Columbia Monthly and the president of the Chinese Students Association in New York. He returned to China as Foreign Minister and began his career as a diplomat. He has made many achievements in his life, especially in the Paris Peace Conference with excellent debate to prove that Shandong is an indispensable part of China, "China can not give up Shandong, just as the West can not lose Jerusalem" This is a strong protest against the great powers in Chinese diplomacy, but also a patriotic act of safeguarding China's sovereignty. He has traveled for the country many times, and with his wisdom he is familiar with the essence of diplomacy between countries, sees through the surface, and has his own set of diplomatic rules.
But he has his own limitations and the limitations of the times. With the fall of the Nationalist government in China, he gradually plunged himself into the political whirlpool. He did not hesitate to win U.S. aid at the cost of losing China's sovereignty. He deviated from his original creed and sided with the corrupt Kuomintang, harming the interests of the country. Not only did he not reject Anglo-American imperialism, but he was full of admiration for it. He firmly believed that communism would destroy China and unrealistically wanted to promote American-style democracy in China. Among the 43 Kuomintang war criminals declared by the CCP in 1948, Gu Weijun was on the list, ranking 22nd, ahead of Song Meiling, Yan Xishan, and others, and was the only ambassador to the list of war criminals.
Some people commented that Mr. Gu Weijun was "a hero of the country and a class enemy." At the national level, he always put the state first, constantly campaigned for China's interests abroad, worked hard to change China, and abolished unequal treaties; at the political level, he sided with the decadent Kuomintang, and even in the face of the Kuomintang regime on the verge of collapse, he did everything in his power to win the rescue of the United States, disregarding the will of the people, and destroying communism, which was to make enemies of thousands of Chinese people.
