Although Lin Yu is not very familiar with President Reagan, he still heard the name of this president in his previous life, and it is said that this President Reagan did a lot of work before he was elected president, sports broadcaster, lifeguard, newspaper columnist, movie actor, TV actor and motivational lecturer, and was also the leader of the American Film and Television Actors Guild. In addition to this, Reagan was also a great orator, and his eloquent and persuasive speaking style was hailed by the media as a "great communicator." Among the previous presidents, he is the oldest to take office and the only president who was born as an actor, it can be said that he has a lot of criticism, but you have to say that his influence on the American people is huge.

Some of the things Reagan did in office had a big impact on the world.

During Reagan's tenure, there was a massive military expansion under the name of "peace through strength." Roosevelt's tough foreign policy and his famous quote "speak softly and hold a big stick."

After the military expansion, the Reagan administration changed its strategy toward the Soviet Union in the past century, and established a new policy with the ultimate goal of winning the Cold War, and this strategy was also named "NDD-32", which outlined Reagan's plan to confront the Soviet Union on three fronts, one economic, one military, and the other was to deal with it. In addition, Reagan also put forward an active strategic defense plan, that is, the later famous "Star Wars", a missile defense network based on outer space. This is often seen as a threat by countries other than the United States, as he will likely neutralize the Soviet Union's ability to "guarantee mutual destruction" to the United States. It can be said that it was Reagan's plans and ideas that enabled the United States to win the Cold War, and even Margaret Thatcher described it as "Reagan won the Cold War without firing a single shot." ”

For this reason, many observers, especially conservatives in the United States, praised Reagan as the main contributor to the United States' ability to bring down the Soviet Union. There is no consensus among historians, with some arguing that Reagan was the main driver of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991; Others believe that the transformation of the Soviet Union that began during his tenure was merely a coincidence of time.

At the end of Reagan's two-term term, George Lee, a fellow party member of the same party, was in office. H? In the 1988 election campaign, W. Bush won the heyday of Reagan's high popularity, and became the first successful Republican president in 60 years. Reagan's presidency influenced American culture in the 1980s, and the '80s are often referred to as the "Reagan era."

However, Reagan's presidency was not all smooth sailing, and in 1981, less than three months after Reagan became president, he was attacked by assassins, which also added a touch of danger to Reagan's presidency.

When President Ronald Reagan took office in early 1981, U.S.-China relations were in crisis. As everyone knows, the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family, and Reagan, as the spokesman of the right wing of the Republican Party in the United States, made a series of pro-Taiwan remarks during the presidential campaign, which aroused serious concern among the Chinese government. At that time, the No. 1 leader pointed out that if it was not dealt a blow, "it would be even more arrogant and unscrupulous." After several rounds of resolute struggle and negotiations between the Chinese Government and the Reagan Government on the issue of US arms sales to Taiwan, President Reagan finally sent a letter to Chief No. 1 on 13 July 1982, promising that the United States would not seek to implement a long-term policy of arms sales to Taiwan, nor would it sell arms to Taiwan indefinitely. The US side agreed to gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan in order to eventually lead to a solution to the problem. Accordingly, the US side revised the draft of the joint communiqué, and the two sides reached an agreement on August 15 of the same year, which was officially released on August 17. 17. Communiqué. Eight? The conclusion of the "17th Communique" eased the tense Sino-US relations at that time, put the relations between the two countries on the right track, and also created favorable conditions for China to readjust its strategy of international struggle at that time. At this time, the exchange of visits between the leaders of the two sides was put on the agenda.

Reagan planned to visit China as early as after the Chinese premier was invited to visit the United States, but he never made a decision because of the unclear attitude of the Rockefeller family, and this decision to visit China was also because the Rockefeller family had hopes in this regard. Reagan also knew the thoughts of the Rockefeller family, and Reagan also knew about Lin Yu, who had wealth that others could not earn in a few lifetimes at a young age, coupled with the relationship with China and Britain, as long as this young man was not a fool, then he would definitely be able to make some achievements.

To a large extent, Reagan was also influenced by Lin Yu, such a Chinese has such strength in the international community, so that the Rockefeller family attaches great importance to it, and he can't pay attention to it if he wants to be a president, moreover, from the mouth of the heir of the Rockefeller family, Rockefeller Jr., he also knows that the young man has some relationship with the little princess of the Welf family, and the Welf family Reagan still knows, although on the surface it seems that he is the president of the United States very majestic, But to a large extent, he still has to be influenced by the Rockefeller family, and he also has to pay attention to other families and consortia, so Reagan has not made much effort in terms of European and American families.

At 2:05 p.m. on November 26, 1984, Reagan's connecting flight arrived at the Capital Airport, and Reagan took a Hongqi car to the square outside the east gate of the Great Hall of the People. Reagan and his entourage, accompanied by Chairman Lee, first inspected the honor guard. Behind the guard of honor was a welcoming procession of children and teenagers, who carried bouquets of flowers and flags of both countries, and when the Reagans came to them, the children shouted "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome" as if they had pressed a button, and some of them waved and danced with streamers.

Apparently not expecting such a scene, the Reagan family was stunned for a moment, stopped in front of the children's welcome procession, smiled, looked at the red-faced children, turned to look at the Chinese interpreter, and asked what the group of children had said. Reagan smiled and waved at the children when he learned that the children were welcoming him, and then he started walking slowly forward, waving to the welcoming crowd as he went.

In fact, there is a lot of disagreement in the central government on the matter of welcoming Reagan, this difference is mainly reflected in the salute, some people think that 21 salute is the best, which can show our importance to President Reagan, some people think that 19 salute is enough, think that 21 salute is a bit too much, mainly because the previous US president's visit to China was not a 21 salute, and in the end it was the old man who decided to use a 21 salute, which was the first time to give a US president. It can be said that the Chinese side attaches great importance to Reagan's visit to China.

Then there was the normal interview procedure, until the morning of the 28th, at the breakfast meeting, at the request of President Reagan, the old man met with Reagan in Zhongnanhai, and Reagan's wife, Nancy, was with Reagan on this informal occasion.

After lunch, President Reagan and his wife Nancy set off for the Great Wall, and then, according to the itinerary, President Reagan's next stop was Xi'an.

However, there was a small accident in this matter.

"I heard that Lin Jianguo is from Beijing, I wonder if I can let him be my tour guide?" Before going to the Great Wall, Reagan said with a smile to the staff in charge of reception.

When the reception received this news, I had a big headache, and the root here is too tossed, you play yours, what do you have to do with such a play.

But complaining is complaining, but the staff still reported Reagan's words, and they have no right to decide on this matter.

In the end, the matter was reported to the old man, and after hearing Reagan's request, the old man shook his head with a smile, thought for a while, and then said: "Let Comrade Lin Jianguo go to be a tour guide for President Reagan, and let other departments pay attention to ensure the president's safety." ”

……

"Lin, I heard that you have been living in the United States before, don't you skip words. When he was on the Great Wall, Reagan said with a smile to Lin Jianguo next to him.

Lin Jianguo said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. President, I have been living in the United States before, and I have only returned to my motherland in the past few years, and it is my lifelong wish to return to my motherland." ”

"Why? Is it because the United States is not good, don't skip words. The president asked curiously.

"No, no, Mr. President, the United States is very good, but after all, it is not my motherland, we in China pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to the roots, and my roots are in China." Lin Jianguo hurriedly said.

Reagan nodded as if he didn't understand, didn't say anything more, but looked at his surroundings.

Lin Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that this foreigner president would ask some questions that he shouldn't ask, and it would be difficult for him to answer.

When Lin Jianguo was worried there, Lin Yu was watching the dream of Red Mansions at home, for him, it had nothing to do with him whether Reagan came or not, but when he heard the old man say that his father was called by Reagan to be a tour guide, Lin Yu was still taken aback.

"Grandpa, what does this foreign devil want to do? Why did you name my dad as a tour guide? Lin Yu raised his head and asked Old Man Lin.

In fact, Mr. Lin was also taken aback when he heard the news, but after thinking about it, he knew that this incident must be related to his grandson, it is estimated that Reagan saw that his grandson had a relationship with the Rockefeller family and wanted to be friends with his grandson, and Lin Jianguo has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, I believe that after the family returned to China, especially when Lin Yu's international influence was increasing, Reagan also noticed this.

Thinking of this, Old Man Lin smiled and said, "It's not because of you. ”

I? Lin Yu was puzzled. But in a blink of an eye, I understood the reason for Reagan's move.

"I didn't expect this president to be quite smart." Lin Yu said with a smile.
