Ling Qing

Ling Qing (1923-2010), formerly known as Lin Moqing, is the fifth grandson of Lin Zexu. In the early days of the Anti Japanese War, when he was studying in Yanjing University, he joined the underground organization of the Communist Party of China and was a senior diplomat of new China. Grandfather Gao is a national hero, Lin Zexu. He is from Fuzhou, Fujian Province. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1941. He studied in Yanjing University and Peking University. In 1942, Japanese secret agents detected the activities of the underground party, mastered the list, and began to arrest people. The party organization informed the transfer in time. After he was transferred to the Shanxi Chahar Hebei base, he changed his name to Ling Qing in order not to affect the safety of his family in Beijing. In July, he worked in the Organization Department of the North Branch Bureau. In December of the same year, he served as the director of the enemy Work Department of the Political Department of the Shanxi Chahar Hebei military region.

Lin Moqing, later renamed Ling Qing, is the fifth grandson of Lin Zexu. Born in Beijing in 1923. Great grandfather is Lin Zexu's third son. Senior high school in No.4 Middle School of Peking. At the beginning of the Anti Japanese War, when he was studying in Yanjing University, he joined the underground organization of the Communist Party of China and joined the Communist Party of China in 1941. During the war, Ling Qing worked in the foreign affairs group of the general office of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, responsible for the reception and translation of the US military observation group, and also served as an English interpreter for the older generation of revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De. In August 1946, Mao Zedong talked with the famous American journalist Anna Louis strong in Yan'an. Ling Qing is the live interpreter of this conversation. In the early 1970s, China and the United States "thawed their diplomatic relations.".

From 1944 to Yan'an, he served as a member of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Central Military Commission, head of the liaison group, and chief of the American section of the Research Office of the Foreign Affairs Section of the Central Military Commission since January 1945. The first protest note put forward by the Communist Party of China to the United States was submitted by the headquarters of the 18th group army of Yan'an to the US military observation group in the autumn of 1945. The note asked the US Marines not to land in Yantai, a big city earlier liberated by the Eighth Route Army, or the US side would be responsible for all the consequences.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, he successively served as the chief of the first section of the US Australia Department of the Ministry of foreign affairs, the director of the confidential office and the leader of the translation team of the Chinese people's Volunteers' armistice negotiation delegation, the Deputy Commissioner of the US Australia Department of the Ministry of foreign affairs, the first secretary, director and chief librarian of the Research Office of the Chinese Embassy in Romania, the first secretary, director of the Research Office of the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, the director of the International Department, the European and American department and the International Law Department of the Ministry of foreign affairs, and Ambassador Rilla, director of the Department of international law, Ministry of foreign affairs, January 1978. After 1980, he served as permanent representative (Ambassador) to the United Nations and President of the UN Security Council for four times. In the past, we always regarded the United Nations as a tool of imperialist aggression. The activities of many resolutions and institutions were incompatible with China's position. We were involved in too much, but were constrained, so we were not interested in it and did not participate in many activities. "Clerical" and "high-income class" are even more vivid expressions. Of course, in the United Nations, many issues are discussed but not resolved, and international disputes are often not resolved by the United Nations. As for the post of Secretary General of the United Nations, although it is restrained by various forces and plays a limited role, its political influence is great after all. At the 36th session of the UN General Assembly in 1981, the election of the secretary general was particularly eye-catching. He was ordered to support Tanzanian foreign minister Salim, and vetoed Waldheim's nomination as many as 16 times by using the veto power of permanent members, which is a record. His tough attitude is surprising. In February 1986, he served as executive vice president of the Chinese people's Association for friendship with foreign countries. In January 1988, he was elected vice chairman of the CPPCC Fujian Provincial Committee. Since 1993, he has been deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the eighth CPPCC National Committee. He retired in September 1998. Later, he served as vice president of the Association for friendship with foreign countries and vice chairman of the sixth CPPCC of Fujian Province.

Ling Qing, former permanent representative to the United Nations (ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary) and deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Eighth National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), died on September 10, 2010 in Beijing at the age of 87. During the period when Ling Qing was seriously ill and after his death, the relevant leading comrades of the Central Committee expressed their sympathy and mourning in different ways.
