1949年10月1日,毛泽东在天安门城楼上庄严宣告新中国诞生。随着与新中国建交国家数量的增加,向建交国派驻大使便成为了当时我国外交工作的一件大事。中央决定组成以军队干部为骨干的外交队伍,选调了一批兵团级干部出任第一批大使,人们都亲昵地称他们为“将军大使”。他们脱去戎装穿上西装,踏上了新的征途,由此也书写了我国历史上著名的将军大使的一段佳话。 On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong solemnly proclaimed the birth of New China in the tower of Tiananmen Square. With the increase in the number of countries establishing diplomatic relations with New China, sending ambassadors to the diplomatic relations with other countries became a major event in the diplomatic work of our country at the time. The Central Committee decided to form a diplomatic corps with the backbone of the army cadres as the backbone, and selected a number of corps-level cadres to serve as the first ambassadors. People all affectionately called them “general ambassadors.” They took off their military uniform and put on their suits and embarked on a new journey. They also wrote a story about the famous general in the history of our country.
