Great Diplomats and Dedication - The Story of Tang Mingzhao and Tang Wensheng
In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China faced serious challenges from talent shortages in various industries, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was particularly embarrassed. Premier Zhou was looking for talent to build the diplomatic system of the nascent People's Republic of China. At this critical moment, Tang Mingzhao responded to the call of the country, resolutely returned to China, joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and contributed his life to China's diplomatic cause. At the same time, Tang Mingzhao's daughter, Tang Wensheng, was also inspired by her father to become an excellent translator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and made outstanding contributions to China's diplomatic work. This is a family story full of patriotic fervor and dedication, and it is also part of China's diplomatic career.
Tang Mingzhao's early life and career
Tang Mingzhao, born in the 20s of the 20th century, is one of the founders of China's diplomatic career. During his study in the United States, he actively publicized the deeds of China's Anti-Japanese War, and was highly valued by the U.S. government, and was hired as a Chinese translator. He has worked tirelessly to fight for China's voice on the international stage with his bilingual ability. He worked in the United States until Premier Zhou's call for him to return to China to assist in China's diplomatic work.
In 1950, Tang Mingzhao resolutely returned to China, joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and began his diplomatic career. He was mainly responsible for external propaganda and established a more positive image for China. Tang Mingzhao not only excelled in international diplomacy, but was also an outstanding diplomatic theorist whose ideas had a profound impact on China's foreign policy.
Tang Mingzhao's sons and daughters
Tang Mingzhao's daughter Tang Wensheng has been diligent and studious since she was a child. From the age of 9, she was obsessed with reading and showed an excellent talent for languages. She received solid language training under the Chinese education system, which laid a solid foundation for her future diplomatic career.
Tang Wensheng's career is also closely related to the diplomatic career. After completing her studies, she became a full-time translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She has a very solid foundation in English and her grades are always at the top. Tang Mingzhao personally guided his daughter's diplomatic career, hoping that she would continue the family tradition and contribute to China's diplomatic career.
Tang Wensheng's challenges and achievements
Tang Wensheng's diplomatic career was not without smooth sailing. In the late 1970s, during Chairman Mao's tour to Wuhan, Tang Wensheng was selected to serve as Chairman Mao's translator because of his excellent English translation skills. This was a huge challenge, as Chairman Mao's speech style and diction were very unique, requiring a high degree of linguistic ability and political sensitivity.
Tang Wensheng successfully completed this task, and her performance was highly praised. Not only was she fluent in English, but she was also able to remain calm under high pressure and convey Chairman Mao's thoughts with unmistakable accuracy. This experience had a profound impact on China's diplomatic career and won Tang Wensheng widespread respect.
Tang Wensheng's work as an English translator has been widely recognized not only in China but also on the international stage. During the talks between the leaders of China and the United States, she undertook the task of simultaneous interpretation and successfully assisted Chairman Mao in the dialogue between the leaders of the United States, which ultimately promoted the reconciliation of China-US relations and changed the international pattern.
Tang Wensheng's retirement and family dedication
In the early 80s, Tang Wensheng transferred to the propaganda department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and became an important member of China's diplomatic propaganda. However, her diplomatic career has not always been high-pressure. In 1999, Tang Wensheng left the front-line work and entered the next stage of his career. In 2016, she officially retired, ending her diplomatic career.
Tang Wensheng did not marry in her life, and she dedicated her best years to the country and the people. In the spirit of selflessness, she silently contributed her strength to China's diplomatic cause. Her story is a truly patriotic story and a glorious chapter in China's diplomatic career.
