On 25 October 1971, a special day, the 26th session of the United Nations General Assembly took a historic decision to restore all the rights of the People's Republic of China at the United Nations. On November 15 of that year, after the adoption of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, then Foreign Minister Qiao Guanhua led the Chinese delegation to the 26th session of the UN General Assembly for the first time and delivered a speech at the General Assembly, comprehensively expounding the foreign policy of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, Qiao Guanhua sat in the first seat of the Chinese delegation, and it was he who finally appeared on the podium and was also the first time that the deputies of New China officially boarded the podium of the Ungalactic General Assembly. He laughed out loud at the meeting and the photo "Joe's Laugh" has long become a historical classic and has won the Pulitzer Prize for Photojournalism. "Qiao Guanhua's laughter" is dashing and bold, which has undoubtedly become a symbol of new China's diplomatic self-confidence, and some Western reporters described Qiao Guanhua's laughter as "shattering the glass of the UNITED Nations deliberative hall".

Chen Duo introduced that his dream in his early years was to become a soldier, followed by a diplomat. "Later, these ideals were not realized, but I became an actor, and then I stepped into the radio and television industry." As a veteran journalist, Chen Duo recalled that the news of the restoration of all rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations came that year, and the whole country rejoiced, "I remember chairman Mao designated Qiao Guanhua as the head of the delegation of the 26th SESSION of the UN General Assembly and led the delegation to attend this meeting. Before the Chinese delegation led by him left Beijing by special plane, Premier Zhou Enlai, Marshal Ye Jianying, and other party and government leaders and thousands of people also sent them off at the capital airport. ”

"At that time, Ye Shuai also wrote a poem 'SendIng Old Master Qiao to the Car' for the delegation's grand march, and later many people in the diplomatic circles privately called Qiao Guanhua 'Old Master Qiao'." Chen Duo recalled that he and "Old Master Qiao" once had a relationship, "Just in Dongjiaomin Lane, we met once, and we talked about me as his little fellow. He is from Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, and I am from Huai'an, both from northern Jiangsu. I grew up in Shanghai, and in the past northern Jiangsu people were not looked up to in Shanghai. The whole country was liberated, and the talents of northern Jiangsu straightened their waists and showed their talents in various fields. Minister Joe can be said to be the best of us. ”

Chen Duo introduced that Qiao Guanhua is not only his fellow countryman, but also a peer. In his early years, he served on the editorial boards of China Business Daily and Public Life in Hong Kong. Later, at the assignment of the central authorities, he came to Chongqing and presided over the "International Column" in Xinhua Daily, which can be said to have made great contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people and to the party's journalism. "In Chen Duo's memory, Qiao Guanhua was a tall man and very elegant." When the crew of "Five Star Red Flag Fluttering in the Wind 2" came to me, I was very happy and honored to take over this role. I immediately asked someone to find the original text of Qiao Guanhua's speech at the Unipotentiated General Assembly that year, and read it repeatedly, which can really be said to be loud and loud. And he talked very broadly, mentioning that 'China does not do now and will never do aggression, subversion, control, interference and bullying of others as a superpower.' A lot of it still makes a lot of sense to read today. Chen Duo said.

Audiences and listeners who are familiar with Chen Duo's style of hosting broadcasts know that his style of speech has always been unhurried and eloquent. Talking about the "highlight" of Qiao Guanhua's speech at the UN General Assembly, Chen Duo introduced, "At the beginning of the speech, 'Mr. Chairman, mr. delegates!' At the outset, allow me, on behalf of the delegation of the People's Republic of China, to thank you, Mr. President, and the representatives of many countries for the welcome they have extended to us ... 'I am still speaking at the customary pace and tone. But when Qiao Guanhua spoke of 'Chinese people suffered from imperialist oppression. For more than a hundred years, imperialism has waged many wars of aggression against China and forced China to sign many unequal treaties... 'In this section, I have intensified the emphasis on 'pain'. I spent my childhood in old China, and I can feel it very much. ”

In addition to carefully studying the full text of Qiao Guanhua's speech that year, Chen Duo also consulted experts and scholars in diplomatic circles and Qiao Guanhua's family in order to truly restore the historical scene. "Qiao Guanhua used to speak with his head on his back, I had been working on the desk for a long time, somewhat hunched over, and when performing, I had to subconsciously remind myself to raise my head. In addition, I am not used to frowning, this performance I came to see the effect later, I involuntarily added some posture language, and I couldn't help but frown where I was. I hope to express Minister Joe's style a little bit, and I am satisfied. Chen Duo said.
