Wen Jiabao (born 15 September 1942) was the sixth Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, serving as China's head of government for a decade. In his capacity as Premier, Wen was regarded as the leading figure behind Beijing's economic policy. From 2002 to 2012, he held membership in the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, the country's de facto top power organ, where he was ranked third out of nine members.
Wen has a professional background in geology and engineering. He holds a postgraduate degree from the Beijing Institute of Geology, where he graduated in 1968. He was subsequently sent to Gansu province for geological work, and remained in China's hinterland regions during his climb up the bureaucratic ladder. He was transferred to Beijing to work as the Chief of the Party General Office between 1986 and 1993, and accompanied Party general secretary Zhao Ziyang to Tiananmen Square during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. In 1998, he was promoted to the post of Vice Premier under Premier Zhu Rongji, his mentor, and oversaw the broad portfolios of agriculture and finance.
Geh' ins Bett, kleiner Depp,
Mach schon, komm, sei nett,
Denn es ist schon so spaet!
Mach's Licht aus, komm, sei brav
Und geniesse den Schlaf,
Den das Sandmaennchen saet!
Schlaf mit ein'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Kissen fest!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf,
Dein Vater ist in Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Traeum' von Pariser Bier
Und von Ungetier,
Und von Emanzipation,
Traeum von Heinz, sowieso,
Und von J.B.O.
Das ist schrecklich mein Sohn!
Schlaf mit ei'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Nilschwein fest!
Chorus
Lieber Gott, mach mich fromm,
Dass ich in den Himmel komm!
Komm, kleiner Depp, schlaf endlich ein
Und hoer' auf so rumzuschrei'n,
Sonst schmeissen wir dich auf den Dung-
Postnatale Abtreibung!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Vater f(piep)t a Schaf,
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
