  2. Chinese media old and new have rushed to mourn( 悼念 ) the passing of ‘Iron Lady’ Margaret Thatcher with many forgetting over her famous run-in(交锋) with an equally iron-willed Deng Xiaoping 30 years ago over the return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule.

  3. Ms. Thatcher visited China four times since 1980s, making her well-known among many in the Chinese public. But the relationship between the late prime minister and Beijing hasn't always been positive.

  4. Many in China know her best for her stumble ( 摔跤)outside the Great Hall of the People in 1982 during a state visit. Trying to continue British sovereignty(主权) for Hong Kong, she met firm resistance from Deng. Records suggest their negotiations were less than pleasant. Deng ever stated: ‘I cannot talk to that woman, she is utterly ( 完全得) unreasonable.'

  5. Beijing‘s official response followed the tone of respect struck online and in the media. ’Margaret Thatcher was an outstanding statesman( 政治家). She made an important contribution to the development of China-UK relations, in particular the peaceful solution of the Hong Kong issue,‘ said Hong Lei, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry (外交部) .

  6. Write on the topic: • Do some reading and write a brief life story of the Iron Lady in your own words. • 阅读相关资料,用自己的语言简短写一下“铁娘子”生平故事。
