  Vice Premier Wu Yi is the world's second most powerful woman, according to a Forbes magazine list.

  Known as“China's Iron Lady,”Wu Yi, 65, a former vice mayor of Beijing, is a rising star in China's Communist Party.Proud, elegant(端庄的),intelligent, Wu Yi impressed her party's leaders when she successfully helped work out five trade agreements with Russia in 1999 and directed talks on China's entrance to the World Trade Organization and agreeing with the United States on copyright(版权)protection.

  Surprisingly, Wu Yi never imagined a life in politics.“In my youth, I never developed a desire to enter politics.My biggest wish was to become a great entrepreneur(企业家),”she once said.It would still be her preference if given the choice now.

  People familiar with Wu Yi say that she prefers to call herself a“little woman”.Wu uses expressions like,“The little woman is ready to pay any price”,“The little woman won't shed tears easily”or“The little woman doesn't care it”.In 2002, when she was handed the tough job of fighting SARS, she said:“The little woman accepts the task at a special moment.”

  There has been much gossip(闲话)around her as she is still unmarried.In her youth, she had an ideal(理想的)image(形象)of a man, she says, but he“doesn't exist in real life.”“I spent 20 years in the backwoods.When I got out, I was already too old.Furthermore, I was so busy at work.So I just gave up.”
