He had committed it to memory as a student activist, before the Communist Party came to power in 1949. &#8220;Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,&#8221; he said. His English was not great, but it brimmed with the confidence of a man who was delivering &#8220;for the people&#8221; all right: material progress on a scale and at a speed that history had not seen before. And it had started on his watch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0px 0px 0.875rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;width:700px\">His own rise had been remarkable, too. In 1949 he was just an engineer in a food factory in Shanghai that had once produced one of China&#8217;s most popular brands of ice-cream, &#8220;Beautiful Woman&#8221;. (Appropriate, that, for a man who seldom missed a chance to eye up a pretty girl.) Had his skills not caught the attention of a visiting senior official that year, he might have stayed there. Instead he was groomed for leadership, at first in state-owned firms and then in politics. He seemed destined to be one of the &#8220;flower-vases&#8221;\u2014all decoration, no action, just a low-key technocrat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8212; <\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\u50cf\u5ae9\u82bd\u4e00\u6837\u7684\u9633\u5149\u5e05\u54e5<\/p>\n<div>\u6728\u53f6\u5f52\u6765\uff5cThe Return of Mooyea<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/istud.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/istud.blogspot.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u56fd\u5185\u7ad9\uff1ahttps:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa \u6b22\u8fce\u79fb\u6b65\u8bbf\u95ee<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obituary\u00a0|\u00a0An unlikely strongman Jiang Zemin oversaw a  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":352,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172\/revisions\/352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yulcell.com\/aa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
