　　"Is there any problem? If there is no problem, I will say a few words at last."

　　At a regular press conference of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 5, spokesperson Geng Shuang said after confirming the answer to the last question of the day: "Because of work arrangements, I am about to go to a new post. Today should be me as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs The spokesperson held the last regular press conference."

　　On that day, Geng Shuang was wearing a dark suit and a lake blue tie. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a memorial. This is exactly the same as when he first appeared in the Blue Room.

　　On September 26, 2016, Geng Shuang first appeared on the Blue Room as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and became the 30th spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Prior to this, Geng Shuang worked in the International Department, International Economic Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Permanent Mission to the United Nations, and also served as the press counselor and spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the United States.

　　When debuting in the Blue Room for the first time, Geng Shuang confessed that the nature of the work of the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the spokesperson of the embassy is very different. "I still start from scratch and learn from the zero mindset."

　　In the past 4 years, this "starting from zero" spokesperson hosted nearly 400 press conferences. Facing various intricate international issues, he expressed his calm and calm attitude, leaving many impressive "golden sentences".

　　"You may deceive everyone at a certain moment, or you may deceive some people at all moments, but it is impossible to deceive everyone at all moments." In response to the remarks made by US lawmakers in Hong Kong, he quoted this famous quote from former US President Lincoln Respond.

　　"Please be restful, everyone will come, and will come soon." When asked how China responded to the US's announcement of the proposed list of taxable products for China's 301 investigation, he pointed out that the US has a list, and China also has Checklist.

　　"There is an old saying in China, it's just a matter of doing things and asking for your own." In response to the accusation by the U.S. White House National Security Advisor O'Brien of China's epidemic, he asked the reporter, "Do you know what it means?"

　　Since serving as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Geng Shuang has always appeared before the public in a calm and calm image. From foreign famous sayings to ancient Chinese sayings, he quoted scriptures, rhetorically asked or stated, and conveyed the Chinese voice rationally.

　　At the press conference that day, Geng Shuang choked. He looked around the Blue Room and signaled to the reporters: "Taking this opportunity, I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their care, help, support and encouragement in the past four years."

　　Geng Shuang once told reporters on the scene when he first stood on the Blue Hall's press release that how to accurately, comprehensively and objectively introduce China's foreign policy and position is a very prominent and important issue before them. In the past four years, he has been working as a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

　　Since the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally established the spokesperson system in 1983, successive spokespersons have become windows for the outside world to observe and understand China. Each question and answer also left a historical footnote for the benign interaction between China and the world.

　　When he stepped down as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Geng Shuang once again said that as a Chinese diplomat, no matter where he went, he would continue to tell Chinese stories, convey Chinese voices, and promote the mutual understanding between China and the world and the Chinese people and the world. The friendship of the people makes their own efforts and contributions.

　　"Farewell to everyone here, we will have a time in the future." Geng Shuang ended his last press conference as a spokesperson in the Blue Room with an ancient Chinese traditional etiquette "Fisting Boxing Ceremony". After that, he walked off the press conference and shook hands with Chinese and foreign reporters on the scene to say goodbye. Everyone took a group photo with him and wished him a smooth job in his new post. (Finish)
