Yesterday, Huanhuan's circle of friends was brushed by Zhu Rongji, who had not appeared for a long time.
According to the Office of the Dean of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management, Zhu Rongji and his wife Lau An appeared at the event of The School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University on October 12.
In the photo, he is full of silver hair and looks very energetic.
In a few days, it will be Zhu Rongji's 90th birthday.
Time flies, and the once majestic "Iron Mask Prime Minister" has reached the age of the back. After the first session of the Tenth National People's Congress in March 2003, Zhu Rongji's term of office expired and he stepped down as premier of the State Council, and since then he has been reclusively reclusive, and people can only see him in his occasional public appearances or learn about his recent situation in a few news reports.
On the morning of March 5, 2003, the first session of the Tenth National People's Congress opened at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Zhu Rongji, premier of the State Council, delivered a report on the work of the government.
When we see each other, we have few thoughts, but we remember deeply. Although he has withdrawn from the public eye, the public can clearly feel that Zhu Rongji is still concerned about reality as an ordinary citizen to the best of his ability -- he has published a series of books, become a best-selling author, and established a student aid foundation, donating all the manuscript fees to develop education; he is still the honorary chairman of the advisory committee of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, conscientiously promoting the construction of the college... In the 15 years since his retirement, Zhu Rongji has still contributed to the party, the state, and the people he loves.
Several appearances caused a sensation
After his retirement, Zhu Rongji was very low-key. Most of the time, he closed his doors, immersed himself in reading at home, and called himself a "grass dweller", but his several appearances caused a sensation.
In October 2017, when the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing, when the television camera was filmed on the presidium, Zhu Rongji's serious and innocent face flashed on the big screen, the "Global People" reporter was shocked, and at the same time heard the Chinese and foreign reporters present whisper and sigh: "Look! Zhu Rongji! Outside the venue, this short video clip of just a few seconds also attracted much attention. Looking at his full head of white hair and the vicissitudes of the corners of his eyes, many netizens sighed: Premier Zhu is old.
On October 18, 2017, Zhu Rongji attended the opening ceremony of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Nowadays, except for such a major occasion, people cannot easily see Zhu Rongji. So the media tried every means to inquire from his children. In March 2016, when Zhu Rongji's daughter Zhu Yanlai attended the two sessions as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, she talked to the media about her father's recent situation: "He is still in good health, living like a person of his age, exercising every day, reading books and newspapers. ”
On the morning of September 3, 2015, on the military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, successive party and state leaders appeared together. On that day, everyone was pleasantly surprised to see Zhu Rongji's figure -- he was holding the railing with both hands, his waist and back were straight, and his spirit was strong. The screenshot of this picture "ignited" the Network, and netizens left messages to express their thoughts: "Premier Zhu, the motherland is becoming stronger and stronger as you wish, please rest assured." "Honest and honest as an official, for the country and the people, no matter how long time has passed, the people will remember you." "Have the heart to do things, and do not linger on power, true temperament!" "He is more upright than Liu Luoguo, the prime minister in the TV series!" "I sincerely wish Premier Zhu a long and healthy life." ...... The screen was full of words of blessing.
In April 2015, Zhu Rongji also appeared at the scene of the "Yuan Baohua Series of Works" publishing symposium. He personally pushed the wheelchair of the hundred-year-old Yuan Baohua, slowly entered, and waved to the guests present. Zhu Rongji congratulated the publication of the "Collected Works of Yuan Baohua," fondly recalling his experience of working with Yuan Baohua more than 60 years ago, and calling Comrade Baohua his best "enlightenment teacher." This special teacher-student relationship also moved netizens.
Earlier, in 2012, a video of Zhu Rongji appearing at the Shanghai Grand Theatre swept the Internet. He and the Shanghai cadres and masses watched the Spring Festival Peking Opera Gala together and personally arranged the repertoire for the evening. Footage from the short film shows that when Zhu Rongji appeared at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, the crowd was boiling and the applause was endless.
In the Spring Festival of 2012, Zhu Rongji appeared at the Shanghai Grand Theatre to watch the Spring Festival Peking Opera Gala. The picture shows that after the performance, Zhu Rongji visited the actors.
On April 11, 2011, the English version of zhu Rongji's book "Zhu Rongji's Answers to Reporters' Questions" was launched in London. A video speech recorded by Zhu Rongji in English was played at the scene, and he expressed his gratitude to the Chinese and foreign guests and friends who participated in the editing, translation, and publication work. He added: "My good friend Dr. Kissinger wrote a wonderful preface to add to this book, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and respect to him. For most Chinese netizens, this is the first time they have seen Zhu Rongji speak in English, and there are surprises, curiosity, appreciation, and pride in the messages.
"After the political voices are gone, public opinion is gossiping." After 15 years of retirement, this old man who has been half a life is still concerned by people, and he also serves the public in another way and continues to play the role of a servant of the people.
Written by Zhu Rongji
One way is to personally select the editor. From 2009 to 2013, "Zhu Rongji's Answers to Reporters' Questions," "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Speech," and "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Shanghai Speech" were published one after another, causing a sensation throughout the country. In the 10 years of retirement, he produced 3 sets of 6 books, each of which sold more than one million copies, and Zhu Rongji became a best-selling author in one fell swoop. In 2016, Zhu Rongji's Answer to Reporters' Questions, which was published for 7 years, launched a hardcover version with a CD-ROM. Talking about the reasons for republishing the book, Huang Shuyuan, president of the People's Publishing House, said: "Mainly at the request of the vast number of readers. When Premier Zhu Rongji held a press conference that year, every time it was expected by all walks of life and crowded with people. Today, readers also want to get a glimpse of the prime ministers of major countries. ”
Published by the People's Publishing House, "Zhu Rongji's Answers to Reporters' Questions," "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Speech," and "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Shanghai Speech."
"He writes big truths, doesn't come to fiction, and looks very enjoyable." An ordinary citizen said this after reading Zhu Rongji's writings. Qian Yingyi, then dean of the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, said: "What impressed me most after reading the "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Speeches" was that each of these speeches and articles embodied a 'real' word and a 'true' word. ”
Re-reading Zhu Rongji's million-word work today, the strongest and most intuitive impression of the "Global People" reporter is also a "true" word. He is an author of true temperament. The book records that after Zhu Rongji was elected premier, he said at the first plenary meeting of the State Council: "As soon as I came to shanghai to work, I believed in two sentences: 'The people do not obey me, but obey my public.'" That is to say, the people are not convinced of how much ability I have, and no matter how great the ability is, it is not necessarily better than others, but to serve me to do things fairly. 'The officials are not afraid of my strictness, but of my incorruptibility. The officer below is not afraid of my harshness, but of my incorruptibility, and there is no shit on my ass. If I walk righteously and sit steadily, I will dare to expose your evil tendencies and evil tendencies. 'Gong Sheng Ming, Lian Sheng Wei.' Only by being fair can we understand that honesty can have prestige, and I have always believed in this truth when I was working in Shanghai. ”
Every sentence is sincere, and the deafening is deafening.
Sharpness is another distinctive feature of the author Zhu Rongji. In 1993, at the National Financial Work Conference, in the face of all the leading cadres present, Zhu Rongji bluntly pointed out: "You are not diligent in your administration, you are not honest, you eat and drink, you criticize notes randomly, you engage in nepotism everywhere, you take state property improperly, you sit on the rostrum and make a report, can you not scold you below?" ”
During his work in Shanghai, Zhu Rongji made a very sharp criticism of the problem of some cadres and party members being separated from the masses and "pulling each other up": "Yesterday there was a message in the Xinmin Evening News saying that there was no water sprinkled on the streets this year. Why? It's just. The Municipal Sanitation Bureau has put the sprinkler truck down to each district, but the original driver of the car in each district does not want, just so ripping, pulling for more than half a year, the car can not drive out ... I don't care how you get it, anyway, within three days you will drive the sprinkler out, can't drive out, you don't want to be the director. ”
There are many criticisms that are directly named in this way, and Zhu Rongji has not shied away from these at all. The sample book was sent to the ministries, provinces, municipalities or enterprises that had been criticized and scolded in those years, and none of them proposed to be modified, erased, or even offered to help supplement the information.
In addition to being sharp, Zhu Rongji has a simple and soft heart of loving the people. The last article of the "Transcript of Zhu Rongji's Speech," "Vigorously Developing Public Transportation," reads: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, I would like to pay homage to you and wish you a happy Spring Festival... To let the masses go out everywhere can get on the bus, there are 'brothers' and 'sisters' everywhere, feel very convenient to travel, there is no need to buy a car by themselves, but also to serve it all day long. ”
Prophet Kui(yin tong pang), former director of the Central Literature Research Office, said: "Reading his books, I am often moved by his heartfelt language, and sometimes I cry. ”
Because of this, the book, although it has millions of words, is very easy to read. This time, the "Global People" reporter read it in a few days. After covering up the volume, I had a thought: How good are these books? So I opened a large electronic shopping platform to search, and found that Zhu Rongji's book is still on the hot list, and the praise rate has reached 100%. A reader left a message on October 1 this year: "It is worth reading for everyone and deeply understanding the direction of national governance and development." ”
Huang Shuyuan told reporters that after the book was published, Zhu Rongji successively donated more than 40 million yuan in royalties. In 2014, the Hurun Research Institute released the "2014 Hurun Charity List", and Zhu Rongji was on the list. Zhu Rongji made arrangements for royalties long before the publication of the book -- he himself did not handle it, and all of them were transferred by the publishing house to the practical education foundation he founded, which was used to fund teachers and students in poor areas and carry out other public welfare activities. In April 2018, Zhu Rui, chairman of the foundation, and Zhu Yanlai, vice chairman of the foundation, went to the primary and secondary schools in Changting County, Fujian Province, to investigate and donate books.
This kindness is touching.
Scholar Zhu Rongji
On the official website of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, every year there is a message that Zhu Rongji participates in the activities of the advisory committee. He is the first Dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University and the Honorary Chairman of the School's Advisory Board.
In the 1980s, Tsinghua University began to organize the establishment of the School of Economics and Management, and teachers and students unanimously hoped to "invite a talented, qualified, and famous person" to be the dean. Zhu Rongji, who was then deputy director of the State Economic Commission, was invited by Li Chuanxin, a classmate of the deputy secretary of the party committee of Tsinghua University at the time, and Lu Sen, secretary general of the university. Zhu Rong basically has the heart to do his part for his alma mater, and then considers: "What China lacks most is not technology, capital and talents, but management." He readily agreed.
Thus, from 1984 to 2001, Zhu Rongji, the dean, was 17 years old. In 2000, he facilitated the establishment of the Faculty's Advisory Board, which he has served as Honorary Chairman.
On the official website of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, there is a photo of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the institute (March 1994).
Under the impetus of Zhu Rongji and others, the ranks of the advisory committee have been expanding day by day, and the deans and entrepreneurs of world-renowned business schools have been invited to come. In October last year, Zhu Rongji and his wife Lau An attended the 2017 annual meeting of the Advisory Board of the School of Economics and Management at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and met with 24 overseas members of the Advisory Board, including former US Treasury Secretary Paulson and Apple CEO Tim Cook. He shook hands with them one by one and said that a few days ago, the Communist Party of China held its 19th National Congress in Beijing, and I attended the congress as a specially invited representative. This congress is an important meeting held in the decisive stage of China's comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society and the critical period of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics; it has made comprehensive arrangements for China's socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction; Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the latest achievement in the sinification of Marxism, and is a political declaration and action plan for our party to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. It must be adhered to and continuously developed for a long time.
On October 30, 2017, Zhu Rongji shook hands with Tim Cook, a member of the advisory board of tsinghua school of economics and management and CEO of Apple.
The advisory committee members chatted freely around this topic. Schwarzman, chairman of Blackstone, said that the advisory board of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management has enabled members to gain a deeper understanding of China, and the just-concluded 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has injected new energy into China.
Sixteen of the advisory board members also walked into the Tsinghua Business Management Classroom — Eric Maskin, a 2007 Nobel Laureate in Economics, shared his academic journey and life experience with young faculty and phD students at the school; Carlos Ghosn, chairman and CEO of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors, proposed that new energy and artificial intelligence would be two major areas of great concern to his business; and Gilfi Garrett, dean of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, shared his insights with students on the topic of "Sino-US Relations: Win-Win Economic Interaction." Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, shared with the students issues such as the development of artificial intelligence and the future of technology.
Krugg, Chairman of the BMW Group, said: "As entrepreneurs, as leaders of the company, our main concern is how to develop future leaders. As advisory board members, we should work with China to develop future leaders, which will not only benefit China, but also the world. ”
Zhu Rongji felt the same way about this. In October 2005, he personally recommended Qian Yingyi, an alumnus of Tsinghua University and a well-known economist, to be the vice president of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management. In September 2006, Qian Yingyi served as the dean of the School of Economics and Management until he stepped down in August 2018. In the news of the establishment of Westlake University this year, Qian Yingyi's name brushed the screen and became a hot search word - he served as the chairman of the board of trustees of Westlake University, and Shi Yigong, who was once a colleague of Tsinghua University, and others threw themselves into the attempt to create a new first-class private research university.
Zhu Rongji also personally led 4 doctoral students, and he paid attention to cultivating students' practical work ability and encouraged students to go down on their own to study the industrial situation in Shanghai. One of his students later became the head of the Department of Business Administration at Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.
Scholar Zhu Rongji not only emphasizes learning, but also emphasizes being a human being. On April 22, 2011, during the centennial celebration of Tsinghua University, Zhu Rongji returned to Tsinghua School of Economics and Management. On the same day, more than a thousand students warmly welcomed Dean Zhu back to the college outside the college, in the courtyard and in the hall. The lecture hall with more than 300 seats was crowded with five or six hundred people, and many people stood for two or three hours. As the senior and dean, Zhu Rongji once again taught the students not only to learn knowledge, but also to learn to be human, and to be a person is more important than being an official and an entrepreneur.
On April 22, 2011, on the occasion of the centennial celebration of Tsinghua University, Zhu Rongji returned to his alma mater to have a discussion with teachers and students.
Tao Li does not speak, and the next is a mystery. With his convictions and actions, Zhu Rongji has influenced generation after generation of Qinghua students and impressed generations of Chinese people. He is the back of an era, whether in office or in office, what he has done is destined to leave a deep palm print on the thick wall of history, making it impossible for people to forget.
