1985 One morning in June, an old man in China in his 60s said excitedly, "I can comfort my ancestors!" Who is this old man? Why did he say such feelings? It turns out that the old man's name is Ling Qing, 1923, from Beijing. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, while studying in yenching university, Ling Qing joined the underground organization, and 194 1 joined China. 1942, due to the exposure of underground organizations, he went to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region led by the founding marshal Nie, and first worked in the organization department of the Central North Bureau, and then worked in the enemy works department of the political department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. From 1945 to 1, Ling Qing was responsible for the reception and translation of the US military observation team, and dealt with General Stilwell of the United States and the First Secretary of the US Embassy in Chongqing successively. Later, with his outstanding literary talent and excellent translation ability, he worked as an English translator for the older generation of revolutionaries such as Chairman Mao, * * * and Zhu De. In August, the Chairman met with anna louise strong, a famous American journalist, in Yan 'an, and had an important talk on the international and domestic situation. In this conversation, the chairman put forward the wise conclusion that "imperialism and all reactionaries are paper tigers", and Ling Qing was the on-site translator of this conversation. After the founding of New China, Ling Qing began to engage in diplomatic work. In the early 1970s, she participated in the "ping pong diplomacy" to thaw Sino-US relations. In ping-pong diplomacy, Ling Qing was personally appointed by Premier Zhou to take charge of this diplomatic task. 1980, learned, steady and wise Ling Qing was appointed by the Central Committee as China's ambassador plenipotentiary to the United Nations. 1984 65438+In February, China and Britain signed a joint statement. The statement announced that China will recover Hongkong on July 6, 1997. 1985, the two sides approved the declaration respectively and registered it in the United Nations. China was registered by Ling Qing, then the representative to the United Nations. 1On the morning of June, 1985, Ling Qing, together with Ambassador Thomson, Permanent Representative of Britain to the United Nations, went to the Legal Affairs Department of the United Nations to go through the legal formalities for the registration of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs of the United Nations is German Fleischhauer. ? Ling Qing and Ambassador Thomson smiled and shook hands with each other, then submitted the Chinese and English versions of the Sino-British Joint Statement to the Deputy Secretary-General, and then took a group photo as a souvenir. Fleischer Hall said: "This is the first time in the history of the United Nations that two permanent members of the Security Council have registered treaties with the United Nations." After listening to Ling Qing, I just smiled faintly. After completing the legal procedures for the return of Hong Kong, Ling Qing excitedly said to the people around him: "I can comfort my ancestors!" Why? Originally, Lingqing was originally named Lin. After arriving in Yan 'an in 1944, it was renamed Lingqing, Lingharmonic "Lin" and Qingharmonic "Qing". Also, Lin is the fifth grandson of national hero Lin Zexu. 1In June of 839, Lin Zexu, an imperial envoy, was ordered to destroy the opium of British businessmen in Humen, Guangdong, which triggered the first opium war. The Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the treaty of nanking and cede Hongkong. 1In June, 1985, Lin Zexu, the fifth generation of Sun Lingqing, was ordered to complete the legal procedures for the return of Hong Kong at the United Nations. History is often such a coincidence. Seeing this, you will know why Ling Qing said "I can comfort my ancestors"! Of course, Ambassador Thomson didn't know until his death that the old man China who completed the legal procedures for the return of Hong Kong with him was actually the fifth grandson of Lin Zexu, who lived in Humen more than 0/00 years ago and was destroyed by opium.
