中国高层领导人的夫人在文革后通常保持低调,以避免“夫人干政”引发政治动荡。彭丽媛打破了这一传统,凭借其公众形象展现外交软实力。
(德国之声中文网)在中国领导人习近平访问华盛顿之际,他的夫人彭丽媛发挥了“软实力”王牌的作用,展现出一个更温和、更亲切的中国形象。
周四,在华盛顿史密森尼国立亚洲艺术博物馆,合唱团的孩子们在演唱中国民歌《茉莉花》后,向她致意:“谢谢彭妈妈!”
中国驻美大使谢锋在社交平台X上强调了她的外交角色,并发布了一段彭丽媛为演出鼓掌的视频。
谢锋写道,彭丽媛“鼓励美国青少年继续学习中国语言和文化,成为中美友谊的使者”。
总部位于北京的咨询公司“策纬咨询”(Trivium China)的地缘政治分析师马祖尔(Joe Mazur)对路透社表示:“她让原本可能显得严肃甚至强硬的外交活动更具亲和力,并为中美关系营造一些令人愉悦的时刻。”
中国”第一夫人“通常保持低调
不过在中国社交媒体上,关于彭丽媛此行活动及着装风格的讨论受到严格限制。在中国,高层领导人个人生活等内容属于敏感话题。
路透社报道指出,在中国社交平台“小红书”上,搜索关于彭丽媛着装品味以及英语能力的内容,未显示任何结果。
过去几十年来,中国高层领导人的夫人们通常保持低调,这在一定程度上和毛泽东夫人江青过往经历有关。
在文革期间,江青从幕后走向台前,不仅频繁高调亮相,还直接出任中共核心要职,成为“四人帮”主要成员。 在文革结束后,江青在狱中自尽,中共将“夫人干政”总结为“导致国家政治动荡的重大教训之一”。此后几届领导人的夫人均在公众面前尽量保持低调。
中国网民的“彭麻麻”
不过,随着彭丽媛成为“第一夫人”,这一情况有所改变。作为中国最广为人知的女高音歌唱家,中国媒体在报道她的活动时也获得了更大的空间。许多中国网民也亲切地称她为“彭麻麻”(彭妈妈的谐音)。
“他回到家时,我从未觉得家里来了一位领导人。在我眼中,他只是我的丈夫,”彭丽媛在2007年接受一家官媒采访时说道。她形容习近平生活简朴、工作勤奋且为人务实。
路透社的报道称,彭丽媛多年来一直致力于倡导关注艾滋病感染者等充满挑战的社会公益事业。
彭丽媛出身于普通家庭,因为出类拔萃的嗓音进入部队文工团。早在与习近平结婚前,她已经是中国家喻户晓的歌唱演员。她是习近平的第二任妻子,两人育有一女(习明泽)。

Taiwanese officials express uncertainty following a closed-door summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, as Beijing reports that Xi urged Trump to oppose Taiwan independence.

The Italian government has issued a decree prohibiting face coverings in schools and capping the number of foreign students with limited Italian language proficiency at 30% per class, effective from the next school year.

Xi Jinping visited the United States and held talks with Trump and attended a state banquet. Both sides emphasized the friendly relations and willingness to cooperate between the two countries. Although no substantive agreement was reached on key issues such as artificial intelligence and rare earths, analysts believe that the meeting successfully created a positive and stable bilateral atmosphere, and Xi Jinping demonstrated a steady leadership posture.

Tianjin issued the "Tianjin Emergency Management "15th Five-Year Plan"" and proposed to establish an efficient emergency management system by 2030. The plan covers six major areas including production safety and disaster prevention, and is supported by major projects such as smart emergency response, material reserve and rescue center construction to improve the city's intrinsic safety and resilience.

Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Xu Xinying of the Kuomintang proposed the "Hsinchu Pregnancy 100,000 Gift Pack" during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which covers subsidies from pregnancy to childcare, and increases pre-pregnancy medical check-up subsidies to NT$3,000. It also provides free psychological consultation for newborn parents, aiming to improve the maternity care system.

U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House, but the two sides failed to reach a major breakthrough. Former legislator Hsu Yu-jen analyzed that Xi Jinping linked the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" to the reunification of Taiwan, and pointed out that the US arms sales to Taiwan continue to be put on hold, and Taiwan should pay attention to the timing of unfreezing arms sales, rather than just the atmosphere of the summit.
