Kissinger's contribution to Sino-US relations is indelible. As US Secretary of State, he promoted the normalization of Sino-US relations and laid a solid foundation for the development of bilateral relations. In 1969, when Sino-US relations were at a crossroads of exchanges, Kissinger, as Nixon's special envoy, had a historic meeting with Chinese leaders. The meeting not only opened the door to Sino-US exchanges, but also drew up a beautiful blueprint for the future development of bilateral relations. Since then, Kissinger has become an important bridge and promoter of Sino-US relations, building a platform for dialogue between the two countries.
Kissinger also showed great wisdom in handling the Sino-US issue. He is adept at using stratagem and detour tactics to fully consider the interests and concerns of both parties in decision-making. He has an in-depth understanding of China's culture and way of thinking, and understands the particularity of China's national conditions. He understands that China likes to "talk about protracted war" and pursues stability and long-term development, which is different from the Western way of thinking that emphasizes results and quick solutions. Kissinger respects and draws on China's strategic thinking, initiates dialogue with Chinese leaders, and has achieved success in bilateral exchanges.
Kissinger also made his own efforts to normalize Sino-US relations. He actively promoted informal dialogue between the United States and China, providing additional channels of communication between the two sides. When the official dialogue between China and the United States was cold, Kissinger, as an unofficial participant in the dialogue, helped the two sides complete an in-depth exchange of views. His presence has created a stepping stone for both sides, allowing the U.S.-China relationship to continue to develop in difficult times.
Kissinger's knowledge and interest in China goes back decades. He has visited China many times and conducted in-depth research and observation on China's situation and development. Kissinger's visit to China left a deep impression on the hearts of the Chinese.
Kissinger's last visit to China was the one after his 100th birthday. The Chinese side treated his visit with high standards and arranged many detailed activities and receptions. For example, the meeting place was set up in Building 5 of the Diaoyutai Hotel, which was where Kissinger stayed during his first visit to China. The Chinese side also prepared 100 pieces of longevity peaches and cranes, as well as a dinner based on the dishes he had prepared when he accompanied Nixon on his visit to China.

During his visit, he actively participated in exchanges and dialogues between China and the United States, and provided wisdom and suggestions for deepening bilateral relations. Kissinger's visit is also a review of history and a prospect for the future, marking the sustained development of Sino-US relations.
In his book "On China", Kissinger deeply penetrated China's concept and strategic thinking. He believes that China is pursuing strategic "momentum", focusing on accumulating advantages and patiently waiting for the right moment, rather than focusing only on results. Kissinger understood China's culture and way of thinking, and believed that China was a country with a long-term strategic vision.
Kissinger's writings also mention China's long history and cultural heritage. He pointed out that China surpassed European countries in terms of population and territory, and that for most of the past 2,000 years, China's share of global GDP was higher than that of European countries. Kissinger had a deep understanding of China's unique position and prospects for rejuvenation.
Kissinger's ideas coincide with some of the ideas of ***. He believes that the roots of China's political power are in the countryside, which is closely related to the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside. Kissinger's in-depth study and understanding of China's political and social phenomena has also enhanced his exchanges and mutual trust with Chinese leaders.

As Nixon's special envoy, he promoted the normalization of Sino-US relations and provided wisdom and suggestions for the deepening of relations between the two countries.

In Kissinger's eyes, China is a country with a long history and prospects for great rejuvenation. He has an in-depth understanding of and concern for Chinese cultural, political, and social phenomena, and expresses his appreciation and respect for China in his writings. Kissinger's research and thinking have provided an important reference for the Western world to better understand China.

At the crossroads where China and the United States are once again faced with a choice, we must not forget Kissinger's contribution and wisdom, and we must adhere to the principles of openness, cooperation, and dialogue to push Sino-US relations along the right track.
Kissinger's death has made people think more deeply about and miss him, and he will always be remembered as a symbol of Sino-US friendship and an icebreaker in Sino-US relations.

We should keep his wisdom and contributions firmly in mind, continue to promote the development of Sino-US relations, and make greater contributions to world peace and stability.
