I don't know if you remember this vice minister of foreign affairs Qiao Guanhua who was printed in the textbook. His laughter at the United Nations was hailed as a calling card for China's diplomatic confidence, praised as being loud enough to "shatter the glass of the parliament building."
But you know what? Qiao Guanhua, who is so spirited, also has a controversial love with Zhang Hanzhi, let's talk about it today.
Joe laughed
Qiao Guanhua's first wife was Gong Peng, and the two had a son and a daughter, and their lives were happy. But God is jealous, when Qiao Guanhua was 58 years old, Gong Peng died of illness.
The death of his beloved wife made Qiao Guanhua's whole person silent. Coupled with the special period of the sixties and seventies, Qiao Guanhua's life was very sad.
His first encounter with Zhang Hanzhi was in April or May 1967, when Zhang Hanzhi was still teaching at the Beijing Foreign Chinese Institute, and one Sunday morning she went to a stationery store near the hutong, ready to buy something.
Just as Zhang Hanzhi was browsing the stationery, a man with glasses and a stern expression walked in the store, looking very extraordinary.
After the saleswoman took out the things, he neatly paid the money and left. Because the masculinity was too special, Zhang Hanzhi couldn't help but take a few more looks.
As the man left, the two salespeople began to discuss. "Do you know who he is?" "It's Qiao Guanhua from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Qiao Guanhua
At this time, Zhang Hanzhi knew that he was Qiao Guanhua!
This chance encounter left a deep impression on Zhang Hanzhi, and after many years, she still clearly remembers the scene when they first met. Of course, at that time, Qiao Guanhua did not notice Zhang Hanzhi, or Zhang Hanzhi took the initiative to tell him later.
After Qiao Guanhua knew it, he immediately laughed and said that it was the first red thread drawn by Elder Yue.
To say that Beijing is so big, how can the two meet in the same stationery store, which has to mention Zhang Hanzhi's family background.
Zhang Hanzhi was born in 1935, his biological mother Tan Xueqing is a saleswoman at Shanghai Yong'an Company, mainly responsible for selling American Conkling gold pens. Because of her bright eyes and bright teeth and generous demeanor, she also won the reputation of "Miss Kang Keling", and even had a special newspaper report.
Ink pen advertising
Such a beautiful and excellent girl, naturally there is no shortage of suitors. Among the many suitors, the one who impressed Tan Xueqing the most was Chen Du.
This person basically comes to report every day, and when he is talking, he will always pull out a few oceans and buy a kangke gold pen to go back. Who needs to buy a pen every day? Chen Du did this, not that the drunkard did not mean to drink!
Under Chen Du's love offensive, Tan Xueqing soon fell, so she quit her job as a salesperson and built a love nest with Chen Du. But Chen Du had already been married, and he made such a trouble, which naturally caused the Yue family to be dissatisfied.
In order to calm the dispute, Chen Du's father Chen Xiaoyuan made a move, wanting to talk about Xueqing's breakup with his son. Chen Qiaoyuan is a Kuomintang general, and his move is naturally extraordinary.
Warlord Chen Qiaoyuan (Zhang Han's grandfather)
But Xueqing is not vegetarian, and immediately hired Zhang Shizhao, the most famous lawyer in Shanghai, to fight a lawsuit for herself.
Zhang Shizhao made a wide range of friends throughout his life, and he was kind and kind, and many people sold his face. He had rescued Li Dazhao and defended Chen Duxiu, and even Chairman Mao had been favored by him.
At that time, Tan Xueqing was pregnant with Liujia, and she did not want to be a concubine, and under the mediation of Zhang Shizhao, she finally went private at a price of 50,000 yuan.
After that, Tan Xueqing lived alone with her daughter. After surviving the most difficult time, Tan Xueqing met the second spring and was ready to get married. At this time, the daughter naturally became an obstacle.
Later, Zhang Shizhao came forward and adopted the child and named it Zhang Hanzhi.
After becoming Zhang Shizhao's adopted daughter, Zhang Hanzhi's starting point in life was very high. You must know that Zhang Shizhao and Chairman Mao, but they have been good friends for decades, and they have helped the Communist Party a lot; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the deputy director of the Central Research Museum of Culture and History, and was also elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Talk about Xueqing
And the place where he lives, naturally, is not ordinary, it was found by Premier Zhou personally instructed by the State Council, at No. 51 Shijia Hutong. This place is located in a prosperous area, on the edge of the imperial city, and has always been a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries compete to settle in.
Zhang Hanzhi grew up in this place and got married in this place. Even after marriage, he still took her husband and daughter to live in Shijia Hutong and jointly supported her adoptive father Zhang Shizhao.
Qiao Guanhua lives in the alley of the newspaper room. These two alleys are less than 500 meters apart. It is precisely because of this that the two will choose the stationery store nearby and have their first chance encounter.
Although impressed, at that time, both sides had their own family lineages, and they did not take this seriously. That feeling, like meeting a celebrity by chance, is not only exciting, but it is impossible to have other ideas. The two really intersected when Zhang Hanzhi entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Due to the close relationship between his adoptive father and Chairman Mao, Zhang Hanzhi became a junior that the chairman paid great attention to. December 26, 1963 was Chairman Mao's 70th birthday. At that time, there was no big event, except for his family, Chairman Mao only invited four fellow Hunan villagers, and Zhang Shizhao was among the invitees. At that time, the chairman also specially advised that he could take a child with him, and Zhang Shizhao brought Zhang Hanzhi.
Zhang Shizhao (Zhang Han's adoptive father)
At that time, Zhang Hanzhi was teaching English at the Beijing Foreign Chinese College, and when Chairman Mao learned of this situation, he immediately asked: "Teacher Zhang, would you like to be my teacher?" I'll learn English with you. ”
Zhang Hanzhi was stunned, and thought that the chairman was joking with himself! After all, a character like Chairman Mao, what kind of English teacher does he want, how can he need to teach it himself?
So he hurriedly resigned, but he did not expect the chairman to seriously request again, and Zhang Hanzhi realized that Chairman Mao was not joking. Can be an English teacher for the chairman, Zhang Hanzhi hesitated, can he be competent?
Just when Zhang Hanzhi didn't know how to answer, his adoptive father Zhang Shizhao rounded the scene for her: "When the chairman wants Hanzhi to come, just tell her." So from New Year's Day in 1964, Zhang Hanzhi became Chairman Mao's English teacher.
I went to Chairman Mao every weekend and taught him English for an hour and a half, for a total of half a year.

It was this experience that made Chairman Mao realize Zhang Hanzhi's English proficiency and appointed her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In March 1971, Zhang Hanzhi joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Qiao Guanhua became vice minister of foreign affairs.
The same unit, chance encounters are inevitable. Once, Zhang Hanzhi was in a hurry to go to the fourth floor, but the elevator broke down and he could only climb the stairs.
There were four or five people on the stairs at that time, and they were slowly going upstairs. In order to hurry, Zhang Hanzhi was ready to surpass them. Before she could take a step, she was pulled by someone: "Don't run, it's Minister Qiao in front." "Minister Joe? Which Minister Joe? Zhang Han didn't react for a while.
"Which other Minister Joe? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a minister surnamed Joe! "So it's him! Looking at the back of the faltering and aging dragon bell in front, Zhang Hanzhi was shocked, how did Minister Qiao age so fast? Obviously four or five years ago it was still very Xuanang.
Qiao Guanhua
Later, she learned that at this time, Mrs. Qiao Guanhua died not long ago, plus he himself had just been seriously ill, so the whole person was so emaciated. When he learned the truth, Zhang Hanzhi couldn't help but feel distressed, what a good person, why did he encounter so many ups and downs?
After this chance encounter, Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua did not have much intersection. Until one day, his father Zhang Shizhao's book "Liu Wen Zhizhi" was published, ready to send a copy to Qiao Guanhua.
It just so happened that Zhang Hanzhi worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Qiao Guanhua had a work unit, so she simply ran an errand.
At that time, Zhang Hanzhi entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs not long ago, afraid that there would be any bad impact on sending the book to the minister, so he hesitated again and again and simply sealed the book in the cabinet.
Or once, Zhang Shizhao and Qiao Guanhua met in the hospital, Zhang Shizhao asked, and Qiao Guanhua knew that there was such a thing. When he went back, he asked the secretary to investigate, and then discovered the existence of Zhang Hanzhi, and the secretary retrieved the book.

Of course, there is a follow-up to this. In November of the same year, the United Nations restored China's lawful seat, and the mainland's first diplomatic delegation was about to leave. Because of his excellent strength, Zhang Hanzhi was selected into the delegation and became one of the interpreters, and Qiao Guanhua served as the head of the delegation.
Now that the delegation has been decided, it is natural to get to know each other. At that time, Qiao Guanhua was calling on it, and when Zhang Han was pointed, she was still squeezed outside the door and could not enter.
So he said hello to everyone outside, and when he was about to sit down, Qiao Guanhua said in an astonishing way: "You are Zhang Hanzhi?" Is it you who deducted my "Liu Wen Instructions"? ”
Zhang Hanzhi was embarrassed, nodding is not, shaking his head is not. Just when she was at a loss, Qiao Guanhua ended the evil taste: "Well, I know you today!" "This special meeting left a deep impression on both of them.
It was also from this time that Qiao Guanhua paid attention to this beautiful girl with character.
When Zhang Han was young
On the 12th, the Chinese delegation arrived in New York, and during this time in the United States, Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi had many unpleasant encounters. One afternoon, Qiao Guanhua made an appointment with Bhutto for a meeting and reported on the morning conversation.
Since his translation had other important matters, he arranged for the chapter to follow. But this conversation involved a lot of difficult content, and the translation of the chapter was not smooth.
The translation was not good, and Qiao Guanhua also felt embarrassed, and criticized her at that time: "Why are you so confused." Immediately after, he replaced Zhang Hanzhi.
Zhang Hanzhi couldn't help but feel aggrieved, she was called temporarily, and she didn't participate in the morning translation, and it was inevitable that some places could not be translated clearly. However, Qiao Guanhua didn't have time to listen to her explanation, so he waved his hand and went back to work.
Qiao Guanhua at the United Nations
Of course, Qiao Guanhua may feel that this is not good for a woman, so he took the initiative to show favor the next day: "Bonjour, still thinking about yesterday's incident?" ”
When Zhang Hanyi heard this, he suddenly became angry again. Even if you criticized your work yesterday, today you even call yourself a "stupid pig", this is to see that you are unpleasant! Zhang Hanzhi shot back angrily at that time.
Bonjour means good morning in French, pronounced more like "stupid pig", Zhang Hanzhi thought that Qiao Guanhua cursed!
Qiao Guanhua immediately reacted and apologized, saying: "My French pronunciation is not good. At this time, Zhang Han was still angry, but he also understood that he had misunderstood, so he replied angrily: "Better than my English." ”
Qiao Guanhua at the United Nations
On another occasion, the General Assembly had to vote on more than 20 proposals, with the chapter containing it as the interpreter in the room. Since there was a vote in the afternoon, after Zhang Hanzhi finished translating, the leader asked her to hurry up and ask Qiao Guanhua for instructions.
Zhang Hanzhi hurriedly ran away, it was lunchtime at this time, Qiao Guanhua was not happy, he wanted to eat quietly, was it so difficult? Therefore, the tone of Zhang Hanzhi is very impulsive.
Zhang Hanzhi was quite aggrieved, but he also felt that this time point was not very good, so he went to Qiao Guanhua's reception room and waited. As soon as Qiao Guanhua came in, Zhang Hanzhi immediately took out the documents. Qiao Guanhua was furious again. Don't even give a little rest, when he is an iron man?
Touching the mildew twice in succession, Zhang Hanzhi did not wait, after all, she was a person who dared to argue on the basis of reason in the face of Chairman Mao. Throw the document on the desk: "The head of the regiment loves to look at it, anyway, I have to vote in the afternoon." With a stomach full of anger, Zhang Hanzhi left.
Originally, he was very angry with Qiao Guanhua, but later Zhang Hanzhi heard that Mrs. Qiao Guanhua died not long ago, and she had been in a bad mood. Coupled with the heavy responsibility, the pressure is very high, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to control your temper. As soon as he heard this, Zhang Hanzhi immediately understood Qiao Guanhua and felt a sense of sympathy.
Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng
Day by day, as Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi got along for a long time, they became more and more familiar with each other's temperaments.
At that time, the delegation visited Pakistan, and the negotiations fell behind, and Zhang Hanzhi sorted out the materials and prepared to show them to Qiao Guanhua for review. Pushing open the door, she saw at a glance the tired head of Qiao sitting on the sofa.
This made Zhang Hanzhi realize that he would be lonely and sad like himself!
At that time, Zhang Hanzhi was only in his thirties, and he had been separated from her husband for a long time. If it weren't for the children, they would have divorced long ago.
Qiao Guanhua is over sixty, and his wife has died for two years. He has both children, but the children have their own things to do. After a long time, it is inevitable to feel lonely.
Seeing Zhang Hanzhi come in, Qiao Guanhua sighed: "I know that you have an opinion about me, don't take it to heart." ”
Qiao Guanhua who is full of spirit at work
Qiao Guanhua said that anything that a minister is not a minister is empty, saying that he is a pitiful person, and asking Zhang Hanzhi not to be angry with him. These words made Zhang Hanzhi feel compassion for the same disease, the same bright appearance, and the same loneliness around.
There was such a rumor about the union of the two. It is said that when he attended the United Nations General Assembly in 1971, Zhang Hanzhi went to Qiao Guanhua's room with two cups of coffee and did not come out for a long time. As a result, the US media, who did not know the truth, took photos and threatened the Chinese delegation with this.
At that time, Qiao Guanhua immediately reported the matter back to China, and Premier Zhou instructed to "immediately announce the marriage."
It's hard to say whether it's true or not, but it is undeniable that the combination of Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi has definitely broken through a lot of shackles.
First of all, at that time, Zhang Hanzhi was in his thirties and had not yet divorced. Qiao Guanhua is 60 years old, and has a pair of adult children, and the eldest son is only 8 years younger than Zhang Hanzhi.
Zhang Hanzhi and ex-husband
If nothing else, just saying that the difference between the two is 22 years is enough to make the world wear colored glasses. Many people feel that Zhang Hanzhi's climbing to Qiao Guanhua is likely to be for the identity of the other party.
But seriously, Zhang Hanzhi has a good background and excellent ability. He has participated in a series of major activities such as the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States and Nixon's visit to China, and his translation level is very high, which makes Nixon praise.
It is normal for Zhang Hanzhi to divorce her ex-husband. Their relationship has long been shattered, and they have been separated for many years.
It's just that for various reasons, it has been dragged. Later, when someone asked Zhang Hanzhi the reason for the divorce, she took Chairman Mao's words, "Your man is already good with others, why don't you divorce?" ”
Chairman Mao
Of course, this statement was said by Zhang Hanzhi himself, and it is not easy to verify whether it is true or not. However, Zhang Han's former husband Hong Junyan did not believe this.
Hong Junyan admitted to cheating, but according to him, it was Zhang Hanzhi who cheated first. Hong Junyan is a professor at Peking University, and he was very badly rectified during the Cultural Revolution, and it was also during that period that Zhang Hanzhi and his colleague Zhang were mixed together.
After Hong Junyan found out, he decided to endure it for the sake of his daughter. But Zhang Hanzhi still went his own way, openly contradicting Zhang. Just when Hong Junyan was in pain, a female teacher who was full of sympathy for him appeared. The two saw the true love in hardship, coupled with similar interests, so the couple both cheated on each other.
Until the end of 1972, Zhang Hanzhi filed for divorce, and Hong Junyan had never heard of Chairman Mao asking her to divorce.
Therefore, in recent years, when Zhang Hanzhi said this to the public, he was also shocked and specially issued an article to explain. And even the divorce of the two was also Zhang Hanzhi who found a relationship, which was successfully done.
Hong Huang
When the husband and wife divorce, the most injured are the children. The only daughter of the two, Hong Huang, was still young at the time, and in her memory, after her parents divorced, her father talked to her and said that he would not go to Shijia Hutong again.
But my mother's attitude is to avoid and say nothing. This attitude deeply hurt Hong Huang and made her relationship with her mother stiff for a while.
Zhang Hanzhi divorced in March 1973 and married Qiao Guanhua in December. During this time, they have experienced many twists and turns. At the beginning, Qiao Guanhua proposed to Zhang Hanzhi over the phone: "I love you. Will you marry me？ ”
At that time, Zhang Hanzhi was going through divorce procedures, and she knew that the two were together, and there were too many difficulties to face, so she tearfully refused.
But Qiao Guanhua did not give up, and on the night of Zhang Hanzhi's divorce, he ran to Zhang Hanzhi and showed his intention again. Zhang Hanzhi was also moved, but soon after, she received a warning from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that Chairman Mao encouraged her to liberate herself in the hope that she could speak for Chairman Mao's diplomatic line, not let her marry Old Master Qiao.
At that time, the Foreign Ministry was in a bad situation and had already been determined to lean to the right. As the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qiao Guanhua was naturally also branded as "Old Master Qiao". So after this warning, Zhang Hanzhi had to collect his heart and began to avoid Qiao Guanhua.
Zhang Hanzhi's avoidance made Qiao Guanhua very sad, and one day he was drunk and drunk, and he called Zhang Hanzhi countless times since 12 o'clock at night.
Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi
At that time, Zhang Hanzhi was busy with work, and it was three o'clock in the morning when it was over. As soon as he returned to the ministry, he was pulled by Qiao Guanhua's secretary.
Seeing Qiao Guanhua's appearance, Zhang Hanzhi was distressed, and then listened to him say indistinctly: "Don't leave me, don't hide from me!" Zhang Hanzhi couldn't help but burst into tears.
After this incident, Zhang Hanzhi finally made up her mind that she wanted to be with Qiao Guanhua, and nothing could stop their love. In December 1973, the two got married, and their union was strongly opposed by Qiao Guanhua's children.
Qiao Guanhua's eldest son, Qiao Zonghuai, did not want to have a stepmother with a difference of 8 years, and he believed that Zhang Hanzhi was not politically mature enough, not only could not help his father, but was likely to drag his feet, so he resolutely opposed it.
Daughter Qiao Song was more direct, and a sentence of "You are sorry for my mother" lowered the father-daughter relationship to a freezing point.
Qiao Guanhua's family
But at that time, Qiao Guanhua was in love, and his children's opposition could make him change his mind? In the long confrontation, the relationship between the family became worse and worse, and later Qiao Guanhua changed the door lock and asked his children to move out.
Qiao Zonghuai is also a tough man, and moved directly to his mother-in-law's house with his daughter-in-law, and lived for seven years.
Of course, when moving, Qiao Zonghuai did not inform his father, and in the presence of other people in the family home, he took his luggage and left in a huff.
When Qiao Guanhua came back, even though he knew that it was his son, he still called the police to say that his home had been stolen and everything had been looted.
Qiao Guanhua's actions made his daughter Qiao Song equally chilled. What she regretted the most was how she didn't take her birth mother's piano with her when she moved. So much so that this piano that left her with infinite beauty was ultimately missing.
It's all like this, and there is naturally little left of Qiao Guanhua's relationship with his children. However, he didn't seem to care too much, even his daughter Qiao Song had surgery to remove the lymph gland tumor, Qiao Guanhua did not appear.
Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi
Correspondingly, his relationship with Zhang Hanzhi became stronger and stronger. For this love, the two were both snubbed by officialdom and alienated by their relatives, but they were willing to eat.
In the five years since, they have been inseparable and tender. Until 1983, Qiao Guanhua died of illness. And Zhang Hanzhi still used the second half of his life to remember this love.
