Qian Qichen, a diplomat bold,
In China's history, a story to be told.
From Politburo member to Vice Premier,
His influence and power were crystal clear.
China's Foreign Minister, with grace,
He navigated the world with a steady pace.
Shaping policies, both near and far,
Qian Qichen was a diplomatic star.
With Jiang Zemin, he stood side by side,
Handling Hong Kong and Macau's tide.
Returning sovereignty, a delicate task,
Qian's expertise was all that they asked.
Negotiating borders, a challenge immense,
With the Soviet Union, he found common sense.
A successful settlement, relations did thaw,
China and Russia, no longer at war.
After Tiananmen Square, a difficult time,
Qian played a role, so sublime.
Normalizing relations with the West,
His skills and wisdom, put to the test.
