The man who laughed in the conference hall was Joe, then the fourth minister of People's Republic of China (PRC)'s Foreign Ministry. Joe attended all previous UN General Assembly meetings before 1976 as the head of the China delegation.
This foreign minister, who played an important role in the diplomatic activities of New China, was even rated as "his articles are worth several tank divisions" by great men. Why did he move and bury several times after his death, and even four cemeteries appeared?
Qiao Huaguan, formerly known as Qiao Mu, is a pen name from Dongqiao Village, Yancheng County, Jiangsu Province. His father is an industrialist with advanced native ideas. Joe has been gifted since childhood, and has a unique hobby for ancient books and modern enlightenment documents. He often reads quietly in the yard alone.
Joe entered Tinghu Middle School after entering school. At school, he repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the rigid and outdated teaching methods of the school at that time, and organized students to suspend classes for three days to protest against the autocracy of the school. After the protest, the school still refused to change bad habits and forced students to behave, and Joe, as the leader of the protest, was expelled from the school.
After being expelled, Joe transferred to Yancheng Huaiguan Middle School to continue his studies. At that time, Huaiguan Middle School, as a missionary school, protected students' freedom and the development of patriotism because of its particularity. The president of the student union and the study committee in the school are all underground party member of China * * * production party, and Joe joined them soon after he entered school.
During his study in Huaiguan Middle School, Joe took part in the demonstration of Yancheng underground party organization of China * * * Production Party, opposing the attempt of the great powers to carve up China at that time and its various cultural invasions and the remaining feudal superstitions in China.
The parade quickly aroused the hatred of some local feudal die-hards, who set fire to students, which not only caused many deaths and injuries, but also caused Joe, who was extremely excited at that time, to be expelled from school again.
Until 1928, Joe transferred to Huai' an middle school, which was very strong in scale and teachers. Joe is exposed to more advanced knowledge here.
He once visited Guo Moruo because he couldn't put it down for the publication edited by Guo Moruo. Two people with a generation age gap chatted happily, as if forgetting the alternation of that year. "Just thinking is like a spring, and opinions are like wizards." This is Guo Moruo's evaluation of him at that time.
Later, due to the continuous advancement of the revolutionary trend, Joe started the student movement in Huai 'an Middle School. In order to make more young people wake up and emancipate their minds like themselves, Joe confronted the school leaders at that time with a fearless attitude. As a result, Joe was fired for the third time.
After this time, Joe went straight to Zhongnan Middle School in Nanjing, and directly advanced to the graduating class of senior three with excellent results. At that time, Joe, who was under 16 years old, easily finished all the courses in high school in a few months, and was admitted to two famous universities in Tsinghua and Wuhan University in 1929.
After careful consideration, only 16-year-old Joe resolutely chose to join Tsinghua University.
After entering Tsinghua University, Qiao Huaguan came into contact with Marxism-Leninism at that time, and often rummaged through materials in the library alone for in-depth understanding. In order to have more time to study and study Marxism-Leninism, he chose the philosophy department with the least required courses.
Joe has participated in various student activities for many times under the leadership of China Production Party. During his school days, he also met Hu Dingxin, a native of Yancheng. Hu Dingxin was one of the leaders of the student union at that time, and later served as the propaganda minister of the Youth League in Peiping, leading many student movements in Peiping.
When they fell in love at first sight, they came together because of the common pursuit, which was the word Joe later used to describe their conversation.
Together with many students who turned over, they organized various revolutionary movements within the school, and once drove away two principals, Luo Jialun and Qiao Wanxuan, who were sent by the Kuomintang department. They tried to control Tsinghua University under the private jurisdiction of the Kuomintang.
1933, after graduating from Tsinghua University, Joe went to Japan, which was friendly to China at that time, and continued to study the modern history of China at the University of Tokyo. Later, after participating in various political activities organized by the Japanese Production Party, he was deported by the then Japanese government.
After returning to China, Joe was invited to return to Tsinghua University, which coincided with the exchange of excellent international students between Tubingen University and Tsinghua University for further study. Therefore, under the recommendation of famous old professors, Joe successfully set foot in Germany, the hometown of philosophers such as Marx and Engels, and began to study the works of Marx, Engels and Lenin comprehensively and systematically.
1936, at the age of 23, Joe Huaguan received his doctorate from the University of Tubingen. In February of the same year, Joe and other international students got the news of the An incident in Germany. Excited, they immediately founded Time magazine, updated daily, to convey all kinds of news about War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to German students.
1July, 937, which triggered the July 7th Incident that shocked China and foreign countries. In August of the same year, the Japanese army launched a massive attack on Shanghai, threatening to occupy all of China within a few months.
Qiao Huaguan, who died suddenly in the national disaster, was still writing his graduation thesis in Germany, preparing for further study in the field of philosophy. He just got the news of the incident and decided to return to China immediately.
So he handed the paper to a professor who had a close relationship with him, then went to Paris, France, took a ferry through the French Students' Association, returned to China from the sea, and began to work in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
After returning home, Joe became a colonel's staff officer in the staff office, analyzing the international situation and collecting information about the enemy. During this period, Joe published many gorgeous and sharp articles in his own journal.
Later, Joe went to the interrupted overseas countries to set up publications, using pens as weapons to stimulate people's consciousness and hearts. At that time, his pen name was Abreu.
Joe's articles are often extremely sharp and magnificent. After reading them, people often marvel at them. The first great man in China once praised Joe's article as "enough for several tank divisions".
1945, Joe met his college classmates and fellow villagers in Chongqing. While they met happily, they encountered a problem: both of them published articles under the pseudonym of "Qiao Mu", which was easy to be confused.
Later, in the presence of the prime minister, their names were different. Known as Hu Qiaomu, Joe still uses arbor as his original name. "You are Yancheng Er Qiao!" The Prime Minister once said this.
After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Joe went to work in Shanghai, during which he kept running between various publications. 1949 After the founding of New China, Joe was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Joe continued to develop in the diplomatic field with his expertise. Finally, he was appointed as the fourth foreign minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1970.
"No one has died in life since ancient times, so we should take good care of it." Joe unfortunately suffered from cancer in his later years and passed away on the morning of September 22nd, 1983 at the age of 70.
Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery is the largest cemetery in China at present. After Joe's body was cremated, his urn was placed in the ashes hall of Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing. All the comrades in Babaoshan Crematorium have made great contributions to the revolutionary cause of New China. At that time, Joe's second wife, Zhang, took the urn out of Babaoshan and kept it at home because she missed her husband so much.
1985, in order to let her husband return to his hometown and be closer to his hometown, Joe's wife Zhang moved Joe's urn to the Overseas Chinese Cemetery in Wuxian, Suzhou for burial. The overseas Chinese cemetery is quiet and peaceful, which conforms to Joe's consistent style before his death. This is Joe's first move and burial.
Later, Shanghai Fushou Garden repeatedly asked Joe's wife Zhang to build a mausoleum for Comrade Joe in Shanghai Fushou Garden for future generations to commemorate.
Shanghai Fushou Garden is a revolutionary memorial garden, which is known as "looking up to social celebrities and seeking root culture".
Zhang, who is nearly seventy years old, finally agreed to the request of Fushou Garden and moved Joe's grave to Fushou Garden, with the aim of bringing her husband closer to her and reminding the world of this doyen who shocked the UN members. Zhang asked someone to carve a statue of Joe, hoping that the world would always remember the former foreign minister.
This is Joe's second move and burial.
Eighteen years after Joe's death, the people of Yancheng finally remembered the confident smile of the foreign minister at the United Nations General Assembly and hoped to move Joe's tomb to Yancheng. At the constant request of Yancheng government, Zhang agreed to move, so the fourth cemetery of Joe was built in Yancheng, Jiangsu, Joe's real hometown. This is the third relocation and burial.
In April 2009, the children of Joe and his first wife Gong Peng hoped to bury their father Joe and their mother Gong Peng together. With Zhang's consent, they built a cemetery in dongshan town and carved this ancient poem on the tombstone.
Although the mausoleum is divided into four places, China is the only place that really exists. Joe lived a simple and honest life. As the fourth minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China (PRC), he won a place in the United Nations for the new China and made extremely important contributions. No matter where the grave is, he will always live in the hearts of the people, and his hearty laughter will always be remembered by the people!
