In various international diplomatic occasions, people pay attention to personable or beautiful and elegant diplomats, it is true that these diplomats are very important in their work, they represent the façade of a country, they are the focus of the crowd, the object of the reporter's camera, but the negotiation or meeting is the result of the joint efforts of all people, more diplomats hide behind the camera, bury their heads in work, work quietly, and work hard for the success of the negotiations and the smoothness of the meeting.

At the China-US high-level strategic dialogue meeting held on March 18, 2021, there was such a low-key figure, The representatives of China and the United States were at opposite ends, sitting behind their respective negotiating tables, and there was a woman in a black dress and a calm face in the Chinese camp, the camera did not deliberately aim at her, but her voice was carried out throughout the audience, she was the translator of this meeting, the "iceberg goddess" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Zhang Jing.
The China-US high-level strategic dialogue is an important ice-breaking negotiation after the Sino-US trade war, which is related to how China and the United States will develop cooperation in the future.
This is not the first time that Zhang Jing has appeared on an important international occasion, she has a certain reputation on the Internet before this ice-breaking negotiation, and in 2013 she attended the 12th National People's Congress as a translator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, attracting the attention of many netizens with her outstanding appearance.
Subsequently, Zhang Jing's personal information and growth footprints were all pulled out by the miraculous netizens, and the netizens found that her life resume was super cattle, and she was an enviable child of other people's families since she was a child, although she appeared in the workplace with a serious face, but in life she was a sweet girl who loved to smile.
Born into a happy family in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Zhang Jing set her life goals at a very young age and grew up to become a diplomat. In order to realize her dream, she has been working hard to learn English, and her parents are also very supportive of her dreams, creating a good learning environment for her, buying her English magazines and books, and taking her abroad to feel the customs and customs of the West.

In such a good learning environment, Zhang Jing High School was admitted to Hangzhou Foreign Chinese School, and after the college entrance examination, she entered the Foreign Affairs College as desired, although she had excellent grades, she was not a student who only knew how to study, on the contrary, her after-school life was very exciting, she often participated in various English competitions when she went to school, won the national English debate competition champion, the runner-up of the national English speech competition, and has always been a prominent figure on campus.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only accepts the best employees, the annual admission rate is less than 4%, after graduating from college, Zhang Jing participated in the recruitment of translators in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for this recruitment she has been preparing for more than ten years, and she was also lucky to stand out among countless applicants, successfully entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one step closer to her dream.
Zhang Jing was controversial when he first stepped on the diplomatic stage, when many people questioned Zhang Jing's oral ability, thinking that her accent was too localized, generally the most recognized is the American tone and the British tone, the American tone is smooth and natural, the British style emphasizes the connotation of elegance, that is, people often hear the translation of the cavity, but Zhang Jing's pronunciation does not belong to any kind, many tones are too Chinese, with strong Chinese characteristics.
In fact, the tone is not the pursuit of translators, the translators of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pursue the correct rate, especially to pay attention to the efficiency, accurate translation of the words of diplomats into English, many diplomats like to quote ancient Chinese language or poetry when speaking, which adds difficulty to the translation work, and has certain requirements for the literary accomplishment of translators.

Because of the particularity of the work, Zhang Jing also gave up some private life, after the Internet became popular, her private account let netizens pull out, before she liked to share and record her daily life on the Internet, private photos she always smiled extra brightly, and the workplace she sentenced two people.
In fact, with Zhang Jing's academic qualifications and appearance, she can take the opportunity to catch fire on the Internet and become a well-known Internet celebrity, but she chooses to take a low-key but extraordinary path and charge the country in diplomatic occasions.
Every time she appeared in a diplomatic occasion, Zhang Kyoto did not apply powder, dressed extremely low-key, and sat behind a simple small table, the name plate on the table had no name, only the word "translator", indicating her identity.
But this does not erase Zhang Jing's contribution to the motherland, in the Sino-US high-level strategic dialogue, she made a wonderful translation of up to 16 minutes, whether it is the appearance or translation ability to crush the American translators in all directions.
This also allowed Zhang Jing to re-enter the public eye, hoping that this time her life would not be affected, nor would she feel any trouble, and she could continue to realize her dream in the diplomatic arena.
Entering the public eye, I hope that this time her life will not be affected, nor will she feel any trouble, and she can continue to realize her dream in the diplomatic arena.
