The footprint of new China's diplomacy
Dunde Chen said, "The PLA Literature and Art Publishing House will publish some of my books. I named them "New China diplomatic rings series", which is a very historic name. " The "annual rings" means that the diplomacy of New China has grown into a big tree in the past 55 years, and the growth of the big tree has left a circle of annual rings. I once asked Minister Li Zhaoxing's opinion face to face. Minister Li said the name was very good and affirmed it.

Record the diplomatic footprint of New China.

Dunde Chen's documentary literary works, which recorded the diplomatic footprint of New China, were written from the "semi-diplomacy" of China's * * * production party in Yan 'an era before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, President Roosevelt sent a US military mission to Yan 'an to cooperate with China in the Anti-Japanese War. During this period, the China * * * production party produced the first precious diplomatic working document. This American mission was restricted by Chiang Kai-shek and called "American Army Observation Group". This is the beginning of China's contact with American authorities. The book vividly describes the life of American officers and men in Yan 'an and various anti-Japanese base areas, the cooperation between American troops and the Eighth Route Army in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the political struggle, the downfall of Chiang Kai-shek's Chongqing authorities, and even the first blockbuster Mickey Mouse in Hollywood shown by American troops in Yang Jialing Auditorium in Yan 'an. The title of the book is "Contact AT1944-US Army Observation Group", and some precious photos left in that year are used in the book.

Cooperation in 1946 —— The Year of Military Adjustment —— The second volume of the series "Diplomatic Rings" mainly tells the whole process of American respected General Marshall as the special envoy of the President to mediate the contradiction between China and the United States. According to Chen, the history of 1946 Military Adjustment Executive Department has been neglected for some time, which is a very important early stage of China's diplomatic work. At that time, the Central Committee members of China * * * 1/3 were all trained in the work of the Military Adjustment Department.

In "The Rise of 1949-A Record of the Founding of People's Republic of China (PRC)", it was written that at the inaugural meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on1949+065438+18, Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai said, "There are nearly 200 countries and regions in the world, and we.

1972 unfreezing and 1979 sailing are all books on unfreezing Sino-US relations and establishing diplomatic relations. These two books, which were held by Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping in the two stages of thawing and establishing diplomatic relations respectively, are tit for tat, with ups and downs. In the tenth book "Crossing 20065438+0-A Record of the Negotiations on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between New China", Qian Qichen recalled in an interview that "we have established diplomatic relations with 16 1 countries, and with 220 countries and countries.

Most of the other contents in the series relate to the foreign policy established when New China was founded, the Geneva Conference, the Five Basic Principles of Peace, the Bandung Asian-African Conference, Premier Zhou Enlai's visit to Africa, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and the arduous and glorious course of New China's return to the United Nations.

Let history live.

Dunde Chen has never been to the Foreign Affairs University, nor has he been an ambassador abroad, nor is he a senior adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How did you come up with the idea of writing about diplomacy?

Dunde Chen said: When Nixon 1972 "ice-breaking trip", I was cutting in line in the Zhuang countryside near Nanning. There is an old brick wall in the countryside where I live, with big slogans left over from the era of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. "Fight the American imperialists with an iron fist and defend the new China!" During the Korean War in the 1950s and the Vietnam War in the 1960s, the local people and I always regarded American imperialism as our sworn enemies, and the farmland in our neighboring county once laid a U-2 reconnaissance plane at high altitude. It goes without saying that the handshake between Mao Zedong and Nixon in 1972 marked the beginning of a new era of peace in world history, which was a great reversal and left a strong and deep impression on me. /kloc-when the civil unrest ended in 0/0 and the era of reform and opening up began, I was lucky enough to come to Beijing to study at a supplementary university, not to study diplomacy or international politics; However, understanding the whole story of 1972' s "great reversal" has become what I want to do most in Beijing.

Stick to what you are sure of and don't be afraid of failure. I have been working hard since the early 1980s. After eight years of hard work, I visited many parties and studied countless documents to overcome unimaginable difficulties. Finally, in September, 65438, I published my first documentary literary monograph "Mao Zedong and Nixon" 1972, which became a weighty best seller, with a one-time distribution of 300,000 copies and nationwide distribution. Guangming Daily called the book "a bestseller from experts and scholars to ordinary people". The first edition of the book won the National Excellent Book Award and the first prize of "National Book Golden Key Award" selected by the masses. Former President Nixon was still alive at that time. After reading this book, I asked him to collect it in Nixon Library and sign it for me.

Really realized the true meaning of "hard work pays off". With the first book, I took the first step, and the following books were published one after another.

Dunde Chen said that writing these books depends on enthusiasm and everyone's support. An Zhengguo, an old comrade of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (former chief of staff when Qian Qichen was foreign minister), set up a studio and a computer for him in the old building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and sent two directors as his assistants, which provided convenience for him to interview foreign ambassadors and ambassadors and use relevant materials. In addition, he also extensively interviewed the parties involved in the incident, such as the former vice president and Nixon's translators Ji, Lord, Zhang, Joe, Fu Hao, Xiong Xianghui, Qian Qichen and Tang Jiaxuan. In addition, we have to look through trillions of documents, and through these vivid interviews, historical events will be revived, which may be the reason why everyone likes it.
