Chapter 45 "Exam" - Deng Xiaoping and Farage (2)

This is an intellectual contest.Rather than saying that Farage chose Deng Xiaoping, it is better to say that Deng Xiaoping chose Farage. Deng Xiaoping naturally had to think carefully about the method to choose to publish such a "resolution" on such a very important and sensitive issue. Because the "Resolution" is not only about Mao Zedong himself, but also about that period of Chinese history, and it must also stand the test of history and the future. Perhaps Deng Xiaoping recalled that in 1936, in the Soviet area blocked by the Kuomintang, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and Mao Zedong "understood the power of the pen." It was through the pens of Western journalists that they broke the 10-year news blockade imposed by the Kuomintang, and brought the Communist Party and the Red Army to the fore. The program, line and proposition, as well as the truth of the facts, are told to people all over the world.The American journalist named Edgar Snow has since become famous all over the world for the book "Red Star Shines on China". Later, the "Red Star" of the Communist Party really shined on China.

From then on, the CCP seems to regard dealing with journalists as a special way of work.When the central government needs to express an opinion or statement on a major issue, it is often not issued by an official agency, but chooses to express its attitude through a face-to-face interview between a certain leader and a certain Western reporter.Deng Xiaoping inherited this tradition of the Chinese Communist Party. So who should you choose?There are too many Western journalists who want to interview Deng Xiaoping, so it goes without saying that these people are well-known. Find a master in chess.The self-confident Deng Xiaoping needed not only the fame of the reporter, but also a formidable opponent who could compete with him.Perhaps only in this way can this very important and very sensitive subject be brought to the world.

It will be an intellectual contest. Because of this, rather than saying that Farage chose Deng Xiaoping, it is better to say that Deng Xiaoping chose Farage. Oleena Farage, a world-renowned Italian female journalist. Born in Florence in June 1930. He began to work in journalism in 1946, and served as a reporter for the Italian "Time" magazine and a special correspondent for "European Weekly".He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Columbia College in the United States and won the St. Vincent Journalism Award twice.She is also a contributor to American newspapers such as The New York Times, The New Republic, Life, and Outlook, as well as newspapers in Europe, Asia, and South America.She is known for being good at seizing the critical moment to interview influential figures.Wherever there are hot spots, there are her traces, and she has interviewed dozens of famous activists.Sharp questions, sharp words, and good touch on sensitive issues are the consistent style of this Italian female reporter.And Farage's reporting style also has her own consistent style. She is used to recording all the interviews and answers, and then publishes the full text without changing or omitting a word.If she wants to express her views or opinions on a certain issue, she will write it separately before the article, without interfering with the main text of the interview.Of course it is impossible to be completely objective, but it is much better to publish interviews and answers truthfully and let readers analyze and think for themselves than to rewrite out of context.

Because of Farage's interview and writing style, many famous political activists were embarrassed by her questions when they were interviewed by her.Even Dr. Henry Kissinger, the eloquent former U.S. Secretary of State, once said with a sigh: "Accepting Farage's interview is the stupidest thing in my life." "If you haven't been unearthed, you have integrity. Even Lingyun is modest." Perhaps this is the kind of opponent Deng Xiaoping longed for to challenge his own wisdom.Since it is the most difficult question to answer, you should find another "examiner" who is the most difficult to deal with, and make it even more difficult. Let's see who can upset whom?

Therefore, Deng Xiaoping chose Farage.Maybe not because of her fame.
