Question

【題目】‘As I stood in front of the grave (墓) of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow.’

This remark (評論) was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, U.S.A.

The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary (周年) of President Nixon’s journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U.S. relations.
