Describe the paper about Li Hongzhang, 3 words, original!

Li Hongzhang's life is remarkable, but under the imperial power system, his ambition has not been realized, which is the sorrow of the nation and individuals.

Li Hongzhang enjoys a high reputation in the eyes of the great powers. When Li Hongzhang visited the United States in 1896, an American journalist described him as follows: he had a kind face, bright eyes, flashing wisdom and humor. He never asks for anything, but he always gets it. He talks with people easily without making people nervous ... He is polite to women and loves children.

However, Li Hongzhang will not give up any opportunity to fight for the rights of Chinese immigrants in the United States. After his visit to the United States, he deliberately avoided the western United States and chose Canada as his route to return home, which attracted the attention of American journalists and interviewed him on this matter. Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to ask the American media to help China immigrants: "I hope the American press can help China immigrants. You are proud of your democracy and freedom, but is your Chinese exclusion bill free for Chinese? ..... I believe that the American press can help Chinese immigrants to cancel the Chinese Exclusion Act. "

Li Hongzhang also made a lot of efforts to abolish the opium trade imposed on China. For this reason, on August 27th, 1894, he met with Yue Se G. Alexander, the executive secretary of the World Anti-Smoking Alliance, an Englishman. After that, the opium trade was banned by a bill of the British Parliament.

Li Hongzhang was also recognized by outstanding figures of his time. For example, Zhang Zhidong, then governor of Huguang, came forward to discuss countermeasures with ministers. Beijing is not guaranteed. If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor are killed in the war, the central government will face collapse and the country will fall into complete disorder. In order to avoid this situation, the ministers collegiate, and then * * * elected Li Hongzhang as the "president" of China to preside over the overall situation.

Li Hongzhang attached great importance to western science and sent the first batch of foreign students from China to the United States to study modern science and technology. Zhan Tianyou is the representative of these international students who have been admitted to Yale and other famous universities. In addition, the telegraph industry in China was also developed by these students. Li Hongzhang actively studied new things and once asked an overseas student what a "parabola" was. The young man explained it for a long time, but Li was still at a loss. The young man is anxious: "Peeing is a parabola!" " Li suddenly realized.

Even Mr. Fei Zhengqing, an American Harvard sinologist who strongly denied the existence of "imperialism" in China for most of his life, finally found his conscience in his later years and said something fair: "Part of the reason why the great powers failed to" split China "is that China is good at using one country to contain another." And the person who avoids Eight-Nation Alliance dismembering China is Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang should be responsible for the failure of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, because the outcome of the war between industrialized Japan and agricultural China was decided before the war. Li Hongzhang was the most outstanding diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty. He devoted himself to China's diplomatic career in the latter half of his life, and he did his best as a diplomat in the international environment at that time.

Li Hongzhang was born in the darkest and most turbulent era of the Qing Dynasty. Every time he "appeared", when the country was in danger, what the Qing Dynasty asked him to undertake was "the most embarrassing thing for human feelings". Therefore, when the Chinese people cursed and denounced him, they really "can't be self-critical" and really can't "give up the responsibility of the people."
