Nixon was the 37th president of the United States, first elected to the United States in 1968, and was successfully re-elected in 1972, but voluntarily resigned in 1974 due to the Watergate scandal. People often have a good impression of Nixon, because Nixon took the initiative to visit socialist China, which had not yet established diplomatic relations, and made a historic contribution to the improvement of Sino-US relations and the subsequent establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. But what everyone doesn't know is that Nixon has always been a "** fighter" or at least by ** on top, interested friends can archaeology the "Hiss case" in 1950, and McCarthy, who sacrificed the banner of "McCarthyism", is said to be a good friend of Nixon. Despite this, in the development of realism and the international pattern, Nixon's ability to resolutely visit China has to be said to have the demeanor of a statesman.
So, how did the ** and realistic Nixon recall *** Chairman?After all, you can see your own appearance better in the eyes of your opponents. Let's take a look at a few interesting details.
l Meet in a hurry.
On February 21, 1972, Nixon arrived in Beijing and was greeted by Premier ** at the airport. But neither the U.S. nor the Chinese side is sure that the supreme Chinese leader will be able to meet Nixon. Since the 913 incident, his health has not been as good as before. According to the Nixon Memoirs, Nixon was about to take a shower when Kissinger barged in and reported that *** was going to meet him.
Although the location is not the Great Hall or the Banquet Hall, it is located in the residence of ***. But Nixon, of course, could not miss such an opportunity, and would not regret not being able to "close the coffin" perfectly, as de Gaulle did, because he failed to see ***.
l Philosophical issues.
According to the biography of the Literature Research Office, in the nearly hour-long conversation, the conversation began with philosophical issues. On the Taiwan issue, the Vietnam issue, the situation in Asia and other parts of the world, he said, "I'm not interested in these issues, that's what he talked to you about. ”
Nixon later recalled, "I didn't understand much, but from the sharp eyes in his eyes, I felt as if he was trying to penetrate my heart and experience the profound cultural heritage of China." ”
l Humorous and witty.
When Nixon praised *** for moving the whole country and changing the world, ** wittily replied, "It didn't change the world, only a few places near Beijing." “
When Nixon said goodbye, he accompanied them to the door and said that he had been in poor health. Nixon replied, "But you're good-looking." And *** shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "The superficial phenomenon is deceiving."
From the above details, we can see the aura of ***, after all, *** is sometimes in the swimming pool to meet dignitaries, although it seems casual, but in fact, all the hints have been expressed.
According to the recollection of the medical staff, at the end of the meeting, ** was very tired, and he rested on the sofa for 30 minutes before ** rested. Although he was in poor health at the time, he still had insight into the international situation and knew that Sino-US relations were a key to resolving the relationship between China and the West, and this was indeed the case. As soon as the Sino-US joint communiqué came out, the younger brothers and pawns of the United States, such as Britain and Japan, have reconciled with China. This also brought new changes to the game of the China-US-Soviet triangle, which greatly affected the subsequent trend of the international pattern.
At the end, I remembered that Nixon asked *** what hobbies he had, and ** was a simple five words, "serving the people". I can still hear him standing on the Tiananmen Tower and waving his right hand to the crowd in the square, and saying the four words in a thick Hunan accent, "Long live the people"!
The people are the object of his life's struggle;Now, the people miss him even more!
