On this day, 72 years ago, May 6, 1953 (March 23, 1953, the lunar calendar), British Prime Minister Tony Blair was born. Blair's mother held him for baptism. Tony Blair was born on May 6, 1953 in a middle-class family in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, England. Blair was smart since he was a child. When he was in primary school, he skipped grades because of his excellent grades. In 1966, he received a scholarship and entered the best Edinburgh Fertis School in Scotland. In 1972, he was admitted to St. John's College, Oxford University to study law. While at school, Blair accepted the ethical socialist thoughts of Scottish theology and philosopher McMurray, laying the ideological foundation for joining the Labor Party in the future. In 1975, Blair, who had just graduated from school, joined the Labor Party and qualified as a lawyer. In 1983, at the age of 29, Blair was elected as a member of the British House of Commons. After that, he rose to the top, successively serving as the Labor Party's spokesperson for economy, industry, trade, energy and employment. Since 1992, he has served as the Labor Party's shadow cabinet Home Secretary. The sudden death of Labor Party leader Smith in May 1994 pushed Blair, who was in his prime of life, to the forefront. Two months later, Blair took over the leadership position, thus opening a new page in his political career. Under the slogan of "New Labor Party, New Britain", Blair began to carry out drastic reforms and transformation of the Labor Party in an attempt to make a comeback. After nearly three years of hard work, Blair's position in the party has become increasingly solid. The Labor Party's support rate among voters has increased rapidly. He finally defeated the Conservative Party, which has been in power for 18 consecutive years, with an overwhelming majority of votes in the 1997 general election. Blair likes reading, loves music, and is good at absorbing other people's thoughts. He has an open-minded mind and quick thinking, and can quickly grasp the key points in complex clues. Blair's outstanding characteristics are good at rhetoric and eloquence, but sometimes deliberately pursues image. Blair has a very modern family. His wife Cherie is a professional lawyer. They have three children. Blair loves his family and cares about his children, and the couple shares housework. Blair has visited China many times. In 1982 the personable blair ran in mid-term elections and was defeated. Blair's family, father, stepmother, brother and sister celebrate Blair's election as MP Blair: "You're a hero, mother, son is our future." Blair's family plays guitar and relaxes.
