Yan Youyun's home in Shanghai is Jing 'an Temple, and he travels to and from Fudan by car with license plate number 84. Coupled with his natural beauty, Fudan boys described his beauty with the Shanghai homonym "Love Flower" in 1984. 1929, after graduating from Fudan University, Yan Youyun married a young diplomat, Yang Guangling.
One is a Shanghai celebrity, and the other is a talented young man. Both of them have prominent family backgrounds, which naturally attracted the attention of the whole Shanghai beach. 1942, Japanese troops occupied Manila and arrested seven consular officials, including Yang Guangling.
It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that Yan Youyun knew that they were all dead. In desperation, Yan Youyun made the decision of 1945 to immigrate to the United States. When she set foot on the land of San Francisco, her second daughter's appendicitis had reached the critical point where she needed surgery. At that time, Gu Weijun, a famous diplomat who led the China delegation to the San Francisco Conference, extended a helping hand.
From 65438 to 0946, Gu Weijun was appointed as the ambassador to the United States, and they began to have contacts. 13 years later, Yan Youyun, 54, married Gu Weijun, 7 1 year-old.
They lived together for 26 years until Gu Weijun died in 1985. Both husbands were outstanding diplomats during the Republic of China, and they were socialites themselves, which made Yan Youyun have a huge circle of friends.
During his stay with Yang Guangling in Europe, Yan Youyun became good friends with Jiang, Bei Zuyi, Zhang Fuyun and others. Jiang is also a celebrity in Jiangnan. She had an affair with Zhang Xueliang and later married Bei Zuyi, the father and banker of the famous architect I.M. Pei.
Victor Hoo Chi-tsai was the first UN Under-Secretary-General in China, and Zhang Fuyun was the first scholar in China to study at Harvard and a modern jurist in China. He used to be the director of the General Administration of Customs of the Republic of China and the director of the General Administration of Taxation. During his stay in Europe, Yan Youyun had a good relationship with Huang Huilan.
In Hongkong, Song Ziwen's wife Zhang Leyi became another close friend of Yan Youyun. In Manila, besides Philippine politicians, American generals MacArthur and Miss Zhao Si Zhao Yidi are also frequent guests at the banquet.
After combining with Gu Weijun, the circle of friends of China's most famous diplomat naturally joined in. For example, He Fengshan, former Consul General of China in Vienna, and Zhang Qun, Secretary General of the "Presidential Office" of Taiwan Province Province.
In the autobiography, we can also see Zhang Shuxun, Rong Hongsan of the Rong family, his daughter, a businessman and his son, Tung Chee-hwa, the first chief executive of Hong Kong, Zhu Rutang, the boss of Shanghai Bank, Zhang Youyi, Xu Zhimo's wife, Jeffrey Chang, Zhang Youyi's sister, Tan Duan's daughter and other ancient coin collectors. This is not to mention the huge relatives of the two husbands' families.
Therefore, through Yan Youyun's circle of friends, if you dig carefully, you can almost get a glimpse of the whole modern history of China.
2. Yan Youyun's height and weight 1905. He was born in Tianjin on September 27th.
My ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang. After finishing high school in Tianjin, Yan Youyun moved back to Shanghai with his family and entered Hujiang University on 1925.
From 65438 to 0927, Yan Youyun transferred from Hujiang University to Fudan University to study business, becoming the first group of girls in Fudan University. At school, I was famous for my nickname "Flower of Love" on and off campus.
1929, Yan Youyun married a young diplomat, Yang Guangling. Shortly after marriage, Yang Guanghao was sent to work in Europe by the National Government, accompanied by Yan Youyun as the wife of a diplomat.
1938, Yang Guangling became the Consul General of China in Manila, with the rank of Minister. After the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese army occupied Manila. 1942 in April, Yang Guangliang and seven China diplomats were killed by the Japanese army and died for their country.
In the following three years, Yan Youyun led the widows and children of other sacrificed officials to overcome many difficulties and stubbornly lived in Manila until the Japanese army was defeated. From 65438 to 0945, Yan Youyun went to the United States with his three daughters, and soon joined the United Nations as a protocol officer.
1958, Yan Youyun married the famous diplomat Gu Weijun. Now lives in new york.
3. Yuan Gong was a diplomat born in the early years of the Republic of China.
Gu Weijun is known as the first diplomat of the Republic of China. The word shaochuan. Born in Shanghai, his family was well-off, and his father was the first president of Bank of Communications in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Gu Weijun has been influenced by a good education and a family style of combining Chinese and Western styles since childhood. After graduating from St. John's University in Shanghai, he went to Columbia University in the United States (only 16), and obtained two degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Political Science in four years, and then obtained a doctorate in law. After returning to China, he served as Yuan Shikai's English secretary, cabinet secretary, adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, constitutional drafter, foreign minister, finance minister and acting prime minister. 19 15, and served as the minister of Beiyang government in Mexico, the United States, Cuba and Britain. At the Paris Peace Conference on 19 19, he argued against imperialist pressure, especially Japanese threats and inducements, and insisted on not signing the contract (before the Beiyang Central Government's order not to sign it).
This is also an opportunity for Gu Weijun to return to China. At that time, Tang, the special envoy of the late Qing Dynasty, visited the United States. When meeting with overseas students, Gu Weijun, a charming young man, made a speech on behalf of overseas students. Don Shao Yi admired Gu Weijun's eloquence and demeanor and thought he was a talented person. In the early years of the Republic of China, Zhao prepared to recruit talents. At this time, Tang Shao Yi, a former foreign minister of Yuan Shikai, thought of Gu Weijun and highly recommended him. This is the beginning of his brilliant diplomatic career. This year, he was a 24-year-old young man. Later, he was lucky enough to become Tang's son-in-law, and his career was smooth and he rose step by step. How many young men and women he once worshipped.
191565438+1October 18 The Great Japanese Empire put forward the infamous Article 21 to Yuan Shikai. At that time, the Japanese had a guilty conscience, fearing that too much interest in China would lead to the interference of other imperialist countries. When Article 21 was put forward, a condition was attached: the relevant contents of Sino-Japanese negotiations should not be disclosed. Gu Weijun felt that China needed external support at this time. So, without the consent of Yuan Shikai, he quietly revealed the news to Britain and the United States. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers or getting into trouble. ) Yuan Shikai, seeing that certain disclosure would be helpful to China, not only did he not pursue the responsibility, but also began to intentionally let Gu Weijun continue to disclose the news. In this diplomacy, Gu Weijun showed extraordinary courage and talent, and had a background of studying in the United States. Soon, Yuan appointed him as the ambassador to the United States. At the age of 27, he became the youngest diplomatic envoy of the Republic of China. I'm afraid he is still the youngest ambassador in China today. At the age of 34, he became the foreign minister of the National Government.
It was the Paris Peace Conference that made Gu Weijun famous and truly became an outstanding diplomat. Japan, one of the victorious countries, proposed that the rights and interests of Germany, the defeated country, in Shandong should be directly inherited by it. Although China is also one of the victors, it is unfairly discriminated against. Gu Weijun, who was ordered by the crisis, made a detailed and wonderful speech on the Shandong issue, explaining that Shandong is an inseparable part of China from the aspects of geography, history, economy and culture. He can speak fluently in English without a manuscript.
Strongly refuted Japan's unreasonable demands. However, in the end, the big powers ignored China's interests and just and reasonable demands, and reached a dirty sharing agreement under the blackmail of Japanese threats to withdraw from the Peace Conference, forcing the China delegation to sign it, and Gu and the members of the delegation flatly decided to refuse the visa (different from the textbook's refusal under domestic pressure). Gu Weijun shot to fame. The world diplomatic community has received a lot of praise. This visa refusal was the first time that China resolutely said "no" to a big country, which finally broke the diplomatic situation of "contending at the beginning and finally making concessions" and did not give in. Later, at the Washington Conference, after 36 arduous tug-of-war, China escaped and recovered his territory, and Gu Weijun was also in charge of the negotiations.
Gu Weijun later served as Foreign Minister of Chiang Kai-shek's National Government, Ambassador to, Representative of China Government to the League of Nations, and Ambassador to Britain and the United States. 1June, 945, attended the San Francisco conference, participated in drafting the Charter of the United Nations, and signed it on behalf of China. China became one of the founding members of the United Nations.
Gu Weijun is proud of her career, but her marriage is bumpy. She has been married four times in her life. Pei Yuan Zhang Runru (divorced). Later, the three stepfamilies were Tang Bao (died of illness), Huang Huilan (divorced) and Yan Youyun.
I lived in the United States in my later years,1985165438+1October 14, and finally I lived in an apartment in new york. At the age of 98.
Lu Zhengxiang. Zi, a native of Shanghai, graduated from Guangfu Dialect Museum and Museum. His father Lu Yunfeng was a missionary, and Lu Yunfeng hated the bad habits of officialdom. He didn't want his son to take the imperial examination and be his first teacher. As many people know, one of the pioneers of diplomacy in the Republic of China learned it from the May 4th Movement. He is a great traitor in people's minds, but history is often not so simple and either-or. He has a famous saying: "A weak country has no justice and a weak country has no diplomacy." It should be the deep feeling and inner pain of his decades of diplomatic career.
At the age of 2 1, he graduated with honors from Guangdong Dialect Museum (French and Russian) and was recommended to Beijing Wentong Museum for further study. A year later, he was selected by the Prime Minister's yamen to study abroad and became the fourth secretary and translator of the Qing Embassy in Russia. Lu Zhengxiang worked in the Russian legation for 14 years. And Gu Weijun's young and successful career is smoother than Lu Zhengxiang's step by step, and his promotion is slower. 1906 was promoted to ambassador to the Netherlands. 19 1 1 year, Lu Zhengxiang was ordered to go to Russia as a special envoy to participate in the revision of the Sino-Russian Land Trade Treaty signed in 188 1 year, and later became the ambassador to Russia. After the Revolution of 1911, Tang Shaoyi recruited him back to China and appointed him as a diplomat.
4. How did Gu Weijun and Yan Youyun get together? 1905 On May 27th, Fudan University was born.
A few months later, Yan Youyun was born in Tianjin. Grandfather Yan Xinhou was Li Hongzhang's aide, and later he ran the industry and became the leading businessman in Southeast China.
Father Yan Zijun is also a successful businessman. He is as keen on charity as Yan Xinhou. She first entered Tianjin Chinese and Western Girls' Middle School when she was 14 years old. Later, after her family moved back to Shanghai, 1925 became the first female student in Hujiang University.
Yan Youyun transferred to Fudan University as a junior at 1927 because she thought the rules of Hujiang University were too strict. Yan Youyun was born beautiful, but what is more difficult is that she is eager to learn: in just two years at Fudan University, she learned 135 credits.
1929, after graduating from Fudan University, Yan Youyun married a young diplomat, Yang Guangling. One is a Shanghai celebrity, and the other is a talented young man. Both of them have prominent family backgrounds, which naturally attracted the attention of the whole Shanghai beach.
1942, Japanese troops occupied Manila and arrested seven consular officials, including Yang Guangling. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that Yan Youyun knew that they were all dead.
After the victory of World War II, Yan Youyun returned to the United States with his three daughters, then joined the United Nations Protocol Department and became the first employee of the United Nations. Her job is all the etiquette matters: receiving the newly appointed ambassadors, arranging for them to present their credentials, welcoming the heads of state to visit, customs clearance, hotel and motorcade arrangements, etc.
During her thirteen years in the United Nations, Yan Youyun not only made some achievements in her career, but also learned something from her three daughters. Later, she not only made achievements in her respective fields, but also established an enviable family. The eldest daughter, Yang, is a senior editor and has published 250 books, including Memoirs of Kissinger. On 1989, the second daughter, Yang Xuelan, became the only Chinese vice president in the history of American General Motors. The third daughter, Yang Qianen, made great achievements in real estate development, but died young due to illness.
Watching her daughters grow up and get married, Yan Youyun can finally safely pursue her happiness in her later years. After returning to the United States, Gu Weijun gave Yan Youyun a lot of support and help, and the two had planned to get married long ago.
But at that time, Gu Weijun and Huang Huilan had not divorced, although they had been separated for nearly twenty years. According to Yan Youyun's autobiography, this is because Huang Huilan can't afford the title of ambassador's wife.
It was not until 1956 that Gu Weijun stepped down as Taiwan's "ambassador to the United States" and finally went through the divorce procedure and married Yan Youyun. After that, they lived together for 18 years until Gu Weijun died.
