Qiao Guanhua has a very special position among many historical figures in China, who was appointed as foreign minister in the 1970s, and he was the backbone of provoking the country's foreign affairs.
In history, when Qiao Guanhua was talked about the most, it was the photo of him returning to the United Nations on behalf of the People's Republic of China - sitting on the seats of the five permanent members, Qiao Guanhua smiled on his back and showed the world Chinese self-confidence and self-improvement.

Qiao Guanhua's life is legendary, this diplomatic genius was admitted to Tsinghua University as early as the age of 16, and his level of knowledge is very top among the many talents in China.
When he was young, he absorbed knowledge at Tsinghua University; in the revolutionary era, he traveled everywhere to preach the revolution; in the anti-Japanese era, Qiao Guanhua represented China in the great power game field; after the founding of New China, he formed the first professional diplomatic team of New China with the premier.... Qiao Guanhua has too many places worth saying, and his life is full of legendary flavor.
For his daughter Qiao Songdu, Qiao Guanhua is just an ordinary father. Josson often recalls the days of living with her father, and she says that the days with him are the happiest times. By contrast, after her father was appointed foreign minister in the seventies, that life was a "bitter years" for her. In Josson's own words:
"It was my furthest years from my father."
For Qiao Guanhua himself, the hardship of those years was far more than that of his previous work. Due to the special period in China, Qiao Guanhua not only needs to deal with various domestic emergencies, but also needs to deal with a number of major powers in the international community. Because of his work relationship, he was forced to be separated from his family, and the white silk on Qiao Guanhua's hair became more and more during those days.
In 1976, Qiao Guanhua was forced to leave his post as foreign minister due to unfair treatment, a former foreign minister who had worked for the country for many years, and after leaving his post, he did not get up easily, and some radicals flocked to his suspicions...
< h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > dismissal, censorship, serious illness - the trough of Joe's life</h1>
Qiao Guanhua resisted the pressure, cooperated with the inspection work during the day, and insisted on handling the stranded foreign affairs at night. At that time, China was in a situation of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and the diplomatic situation was in an empty window. Qiao Guanhua must maintain a high degree of work to ensure that China is in a state of convergence in foreign affairs.
During the review, Qiao Guanhua never showed any excessive behavior, even if his words were restrained and rational. This is a very difficult and not easy thing for a politician who is in a low period.
The following year, due to long-term and high-intensity work, Qiao Guanhua finally fell ill in his job, and he was subsequently transferred to Beijing Hospital for convalescence. Hospital staff informed Qiao's family that Qiao Guanhua had suffered from a heart attack. Josson was shocked by this, and his father used to have regular health checks, but he was never mentioned as having a history of heart disease. But now the fatigue of work has made Qiao Guanhua's health deteriorate. He kept taking the medicine for his heart disease, just to get better as soon as possible and get back to the diplomatic post where he was needed. Qiao Song recalled with tears in his eyes:
"I was in college and I couldn't imagine what my father had been through in those years."
The family was very concerned about him, and often asked the hospital and relevant departments if they had a way to see Qiao Guanhua. But the person in charge always shakes his head, qiao Guanhua is an important political figure, not a casual person. In this regard, Qiao Songdu's eldest brother spent a lot of energy to continue to travel around, and finally got the opportunity to enter the hospital to visit his father. But this meeting has strict restrictions on the number of people. According to the requirements, only Qiao Songdu's eldest brother was allowed to enter the ward.
When Qiao Guanhua saw his eldest son, tears had already come out of his eyes. After experiencing so many changes, Qiao Guanhua still exhorted his children to firmly believe in the achievements of the Marxist revolution and the cause of communism. He told his eldest son about the past, and finally sighed:
"I don't regret going down this road, it's worth it."
Qiao Guanhua understands the state's censorship of him and actively cooperates with relevant work.
Qiao Guanhua during his recuperation
As the days in the hospital passed, Qiao Guanhua's body was slowly recovering. His face was a little more red, and he walked with a tiger's wind. Qiao Guanhua also quit his decades of smoking addiction. Most of the things he said to the paramedics were about his children. According to the recollections of later generations, Qiao Guanhua said with emotion in the hospital at that time:
"When I was at my reddest, the kids left me. When I got into the hardest time, they had all returned to me, and they were still their own children. ”
In February 1978, Qiao Guanhua returned to his home after one last treatment. At this time, he no longer needs to be responsible for foreign affairs. After unloading the political burden, his children became the biggest concern of Qiao Guanhua's life. When he returned home and talked to his children about the past two years, he learned that Josson had also operated on the same hospital as him before. Qiao Guanhua was very remorseful about this, saying that he had not been able to accompany his children as a father, which was his dereliction of duty as a father.
Josson also comforted his father, saying that he should not pay too much attention to these small things. Josson said to his father:
"Coming back, better than anything. We have another home away from home! ”
For Qiao Songdu, the days of accompanying his father are the happiest.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-center-line" > Joe's old heart knot - the entanglement of his daughter</h1>
After returning home, Qiao Guanhua no longer had the burden of work and his life became idle. For such a life, Qiao Guanhua is extremely uncomfortable.
Every day at home, Qiao Guanhua's biggest hobby is counting the calendar and looking forward to the weekend. Only when the weekend comes, his daughter Qiao Songdu will return to his side and chat with Qiao Guanhua about home. But every time the two of them talked halfway, they couldn't talk anymore, and the atmosphere became very awkward. Qiao Song knew that his father still had a knot in his heart. For the past, my father still cared a little about it. But she didn't know how to comfort her father and what kind of words to use to deal with him when she spoke. She finds her best friend and talks about awkward conversations with her father. Friends have comforted Qiao Songdu, telling her not to be too nervous in the face of her father, and to show her happy and positive side. As long as he saw that his children were happy, Qiao Guanhua's heart knot could naturally be lifted.
Qiao Guanhua's daughter - Qiao Songdu
Josson came to his father's house every weekend and worked extremely hard to bring happiness and joy to his father. Her father was active and cheerful on the surface, but in Qiao Songdu's heart, she did not see her father in this way. She knew that her father was not comfortable with his current state. In his early years, Qiao Guanhua was a diplomat who was in the limelight outside, and now he is just an idle person at home. Such a huge psychological gap, it is difficult for anyone to adapt.
Josson had always disliked his father returning to politics. In her eyes, her father would become very busy with his diplomatic career. And because of the nature of the work, he often keeps his distance from his family. This is absolutely unacceptable to Qiao Songdu, who misses his father. But seeing her father's various situations at home, she always hoped that her father would return to her post, and only Qiao Guanhua at that stage was the most reassuring state for her family.
In 1982, Qiao Guanhua finally got the opportunity to return to his post and was appointed as an adviser to the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries. Qiao Guanhua returned to his diplomatic post and surrendered his passion to the country and foreign affairs.
But the sky did not go according to people's wishes, and the good times did not last long. In 1983, Qiao Guanhua's cancer recurred, and he was admitted to Beijing Hospital for the last time to fight the disease. This process is painful, although the former Qiao Guanhua was called "the person who shocked the parliament building" in foreign affairs, but in the face of the disease, Qiao Lao is still like ordinary people, and he is also tormented by the disease. The taste of the torture made his family look very heartbroken.
Qiao Songdu recalled that looking at his father's appearance at that time, they couldn't bear to say more. Every time he talks about something political, he avoids talking about it and just keeps Qiao Guanhua relaxed. Qiao Dusong also often comforted his father:
"Rest until the day you recover, and continue to work at your job."
But this time, Qiao Guanhua could not see the day when he would return to work. The diplomat who had worked against imperialism in Germany; who had campaigned for the revolution in Places like Chongqing and Shanghai; and who had shocked representatives of the Great Powers in the United States. After all, it was the urge of time that could not be resisted, so I had to stop here. On September 22, Qiao Guanhua died in Beijing at the age of 70.
Qiao Guanhua stopped, but the problem behind him was not yet solved. Where should Qiao Guanhua's urn be buried? With whom should we dock? These problems have once again become a big problem for Joe's family. According to the existing records of history, it can be seen that in the years after the death of Elder Qiao, where to be buried has been a rather sensitive topic.
After his death in Beijing Hospital, Qiao's family first stored Qiao Guanhua's urn in Babaoshan Cemetery for three days, and then placed it in the bedroom of Qiao Guanhua's wife, Zhang Hanzhi, for two years.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > destination - "I'll be Joe's tomb keeper"</h1>
In 1985, Zhang Hanzhi personally carried her husband's urn to Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and solemnly placed it in the Yangwan Overseas Chinese Cemetery in Dongshan. Qiao Guanhua is a native of Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, why did he choose to place his ashes in Suzhou? The story behind this is very emotional.
In 1940, Qiao Guanhua, a doctor of philosophy at the University of Spengen in Germany, came to Chongqing to work and was appointed as the editor-in-chief of international news in Xinhua Daily. The most popular article for the people of Chongqing is the international news written by Qiao Guanhua. Where are the Allies fighting fascism today; how many Germans will be defeated by the Soviets tomorrow; and how many Japanese warships will be sent to the bottom of the sea in the Pacific the day after tomorrow. Qiao Guanhua, who was proficient in the three Chinese, used easy-to-understand words to bring the people of Chongqing the hope of victory in the War of Resistance.
Late at night in 1943, Gong Peng ran to the Chongqing Qixinggang Civic Hospital to seek help from Li Hao, the attending surgeon. Through communication with Gong Peng, he learned that a patient was in a very critical situation and urgently needed surgeon Li Hao for surgery. Li Hao did not say much, and ran out of the hospital with Li Hao with the emergency box. The patient lies in an ordinary private house, looking thin and tall with a pair of thick glasses. This person is Qiao Guanhua, and after Li Hao's careful diagnosis, it is concluded that Qiao Guanhua suffers from acute diffuse peritonitis caused by intestinal perforation.
With the help of Li Hao, he successfully entered the Civic Hospital for treatment, but the situation at that time was very critical, and he urgently needed a blood transfusion to save Qiao Guanhua's life. Knowing that the editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily had difficulties, ordinary people from all over Chongqing Rushed to run to the citizens' hospital for blood transfusions, just to help the editor-in-chief who broadened the horizons of the Chinese people to survive.
Li Hao used superb medical skills to pull Qiao Guanhua back from the death line, and the two became friends. Li Qiao Guanhua has always regarded him as his close friend, and under the influence of Qiao Guanhua, Li Hao constantly provided assistance to the party's secret operations personnel, transporting a large amount of important intelligence. The two have a close relationship.
During the turbulent times, Qiao Guanhua's life situation was much worse than before. After learning the news, Li Hao sent his children to take Suzhou specialties to comfort the Qiao family. Only true brotherhood can do such a righteous deed.
In 1980, Qiao Guanhua fell seriously ill in Beijing, and Li Hao learned about it and asked his second son to visit Uncle Qiao. Qiao Guanhua often sighed, and after the ups and downs, he could tell who was the true friendship.
On September 22, 1983, Qiao Guanhua died in Beijing, and where to place the urn became a big problem.
In 1985, Zhang Hanzhi came to Suzhou, and after Li Hao saw Zhang Han, he said that if there was no suitable place to bury his old man, he would put him in Suzhou. Li Hao said in the same chapter:
"I want to make old Joe, an old friend, brother, and comrade a qualified gravekeeper."
Tomb of Qiao Guanhua
The placement of Qiao Guanhua's urn could not be achieved only with Li Hao's consent. Previously, Zhang Hanzhi had traveled to Jianhu County, Yancheng City, Qiao Guanhua's hometown, hoping that the relevant departments would find a good home for her husband. However, after the consultations, there was still no breakthrough. After Li Hao proposed to resettle him in Suzhou, Li Hao took Zhang Hanzhi to the office of Guan Zheng, the secretary of the Wu County Party Committee in Suzhou, and asked if there was a chance to find a suitable resettlement site for Qiao Lao.
Guan Zheng heard that Qiao Guanhua, a famous talent, was going to be buried in Wu County, so he actively cooperated with Zhang Hanzhi and Li Hao, and finally found a suitable cemetery for this diplomatic genius in Dongxiang, Wu County. In later generations, some people asked Guan Zheng if he hesitated when he heard that it was Elder Qiao who came to be buried. Guan Zheng laughed and said:
"I only know that Qiao Lao is a talented man who speaks for China in the United Nations General Assembly, can speak on behalf of the Chinese people on the world stage, and contribute to the construction of the country." I believe That Joe is always a capable man, and he won't have any big problems. ”
