However, Joe's life is not as hearty as his laughter, but ups and downs. In terms of personal love life, Joe married Zhang, who was 22 years younger than him, after his first wife died, and strongly advocated being alone, insisting on expelling his children from the house and spending the rest of his life with his wife.
Joe, a successful diplomat and politician, 19 13 is a native of Yancheng, Jiangsu. His ancestors were scholars for five generations in a row. /kloc-graduated from high school at the age of 0/6 and was admitted to the philosophy department of Tsinghua University. He is a real "divine power". After graduation, I went to Japan and went to the Philosophy Department of Imperial University in Tokyo for further study. However, because of his revolutionary activities during this period, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of Japanese reactionaries and was soon deported.
Joe was in his youth.
In order to go further and further on the road of philosophy, Joe, who was expelled, chose to study in Germany, where such a great philosopher as Hegel was born, and received a doctorate in philosophy a year later. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Joe returned to China to participate in the national salvation movement and joined our party under the introduction of Liao Chengzhi. Later, he founded "China News Agency" in Hong Kong, and published some political remarks and articles commenting on the international situation.
Later, Premier Zhou became his direct boss, which laid the foundation for his future diplomatic career. After Joe entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the first major event he participated in was to negotiate with the United States about Qian Xuesen's return to China. Later, he became the head of the China delegation to discuss the restoration of China's legitimate seat in the United Nations. It was during this period that the passage "Joe's Smile" came into being.

After returning home, Joe was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, and later participated in the arrangement of Knicks' visit to China. It can be said that Joe is successful and outstanding as a diplomat, but his love life is not like his career, and his second marriage is often talked about.
His first wife Gong Zhu was praised by Chairman Mao for Joe's two marriages. His first wife Gong Zhu was a journalist. At the peak of her career, she served as the director of the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was the first female director in the history of the Ministry. The combination of the two can be described as a perfect match, and Chairman Mao praised it as "a natural beauty, a thousand miles of marriage revolution".

Gong Zhu once worked beside Premier Zhou for more than 30 years. She speaks fluent English and is Premier Zhou's English teacher. She was praised by him as an "irreplaceable" female diplomat. After marrying Joe, although both husband and wife are busy with work, this does not affect their feelings. They walked through the war years hand in hand, and a better life was ushered in after the founding of New China.
In the eyes of her daughter Joe, Gong Zhu has always been a resolute and decisive person, quite manly and the backbone of her family. If Qiao Huaguan has anything uncertain, he will discuss it with his wife before making a decision. On one occasion, the State Council prepared to promote Gong Zhu as Assistant Foreign Minister, but Gong Shuwan refused and recommended Qiao Huaguan. Her philosophy is to protect her husband's image and stay behind the scenes.

But 1970, Gong Zhu was hospitalized with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and died of illness on September 20th. After Gong Zhu's death, Joe once fell into a trough. He often sits at his desk alone, staring blankly at his wife's photo, constantly writing "Never forget, without thinking ..."
The people of Sri Lanka have passed away and life will continue. Joe, who experienced a low mood, soon came out, or he had no time to be depressed, because the country assigned him an important task, which was to fly to new york to attend the 26th session of the United Nations General Assembly. It was this outing that started Joe's second marriage, which was also the most controversial one.
Adhere to the two-person world and expel the children from the house. Among the China delegation, there is a "five golden flowers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs"-Zhang, the adopted daughter of educator Zhang. This time in the United States, Zhang Qiao and his wife went to the meeting as colleagues, but the relationship between colleagues gradually developed and eventually developed into a husband-and-wife relationship.
Zhang Hanzhi
Actually, at first, Joe didn't notice Zhang, but he had to contact him because of his work. Gradually, he found that this woman has a kind of erudition and unique charm like Gong Zhu. Zhang also had a marriage, and her husband was. After eight years of long-distance love, I finally got the right result.
But then Hong Junyan's affair, coupled with the current turmoil, ended in divorce. And Joe also needs a partner to soothe his wounds, and Zhang is playing this role. According to Zhang's later recollection: "After my divorce, I often talked to him several times a week, not talking about work or falling in love, just like chatting with friends."

1973, shortly after Zhang's divorce, Joe married Zhang, but their marriage was strongly opposed by Joe's children, because Zhang was 22 years younger than Joe and only 8 years older than the latter's son.
This age gap makes it difficult for brothers and sisters to accept such a "stepmother". In the eyes of her daughter Joe, Joe's move is "sorry for Gong Zhu who has passed away".
However, Joe doesn't seem to care about the children's opinions. He and Zhang live alone. Seeing that this is not the way after all, his son Qiao Zonghuai tried to have a good relationship with Zhang, but Joe made it clear: "The combination of me and Zhang can only be two people, so you all move out."
At first, the children thought it was his father's angry words. Until one day, Qiao Song came home from work and found that the door lock had been changed. He didn't come into the house until the nanny came back. This behavior shows Joe's resolute attitude, and the brother and sister moved out of the house because of their father's rude feelings and anger.

Qiao Song moved to the dormitory of the hospital where he worked, while Qiao Zonghuai was married and his wife was pregnant for eight months. It was impossible to move the dormitory, so he had to go to his father-in-law's house. Fortunately, my father-in-law is warm-hearted, and they have lived here for seven years.
Since then, Joe has cut off contact with his children and lived with Zhang in peace of mind. Even after the tumor operation, Joe and he didn't go to see it. From this point of view, Joe seems to have won the final victory, but in the struggle of family relations, there has never been a winner, only two losers.
A few years later, Joe was involved in the political whirlpool, suffered from cancer and had to be hospitalized. After all, blood is thicker than water. This serious illness gave Joe a second chance to make peace with his children. Although Joe's refusal hurt the two brothers and sisters emotionally, it was their biological father after all.

My brother and sister spent the last days of their lives with my father. 1983 On September 22nd, Joe died in Beijing Hospital at the age of 70. After his death, Zhang returned to his hometown of Yancheng, Jiangsu with Joe's ashes, and a generation of diplomatic politicians finally returned to China.
After careful consideration, it is not difficult to understand why Joe is so obsessed with the world of two people and kicked the child out of the house. After the death of the palace master, Joe's spiritual world suddenly became empty and there was no pillar. Perhaps his concern for foreign affairs supported him at this time.
In addition, at that time, a pair of children had grown up, and the son was about to become a father, fully capable of living independently.
Joe's son, Joe Zonghuai
As early as when Joe made this decision, Zhang didn't agree that it was only a matter of time before the family lived in harmony, but she ignored that Joe, as a diplomat, was a determined man, and what he had decided would hardly change.
It seems that for a long time, society has been biased against the phenomenon that "an old man marries several wives". It seems that no matter what achievements this man has made, as long as this phenomenon happens to him, he will be accused by thousands of people.
Nobel Prize winner Yang Zhenning is controversial because she married Weng Fan, who is 54 years younger than her. But what does it have to do with us spectators pursuing love? There is no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, overcorrect.
