中新网9月26日电 题:在白宫,习近平提到了一棵树和一片林

当地时间9月24日晚,正在对美国进行国事访问的习近平主席,在白宫举行的欢迎宴会上,谈到了一棵树和一片林。

一棵树的故事,发生在50多年前。

1972年,时任美国总统尼克松访华,开启中美关系正常化进程。当年,尼克松将来自加州的北美红杉树苗作为礼物赠送给了中方。

习近平主席谈到,“当年尼克松总统赠送的特殊国礼——红杉树,就种植在我曾工作过的浙江省。”

在如今的杭州植物园,当年尼克松赠送的北美红杉树苗早已长成粗壮挺拔的大树,繁育的小苗在中国多个省市落地生根。

一片林的故事,要从20多年前说起。

1999年,美国人赛考斯筹集5000美元资助中国治沙人殷玉珍种树;不久前,赛考斯回到中国的毛乌素沙地,亲眼看到郁郁葱葱的“赛考斯林”,5000美元化作了万亩林海。

习近平主席称,“这个故事感动了许多中国民众,也是中美两国人民友好交往的范例。”

从杭州植物园的红杉树,到毛乌素沙地的“赛考斯林”,回望两个关于“种树”的故事,可以洞见半个多世纪以来,中美关系的经风历雨,扎根生长;而面向未来,亦能从故事中看到让中美友谊之树根深叶茂、茁壮成长的启示。

中美友谊之树,需要厚植沃土,扎牢根基。

赛考斯与殷玉珍的故事,映照出中美民间善意的双向奔赴。

“中美关系希望在人民,基础在民间,未来在青年,活力在地方。”这是习近平主席多次强调的一句话。

今次访美,习近平主席再次强调中美关系希望在人民、未来在青年,并宣布“未来5年,中方将邀请10万名美国青少年来华交流学习”。

从“5年5万”到“5年10万”,中美友谊之树只有不断向下扎根,才能更好向上成长。

中美友谊之树,需要修枝剪叶,扶直苗木。

中美国情不同,难免有一些分歧,但通过坦诚、深入、持续的对话能够增进理解、求同存异、积累互信。

今次访美,习近平主席多次谈到“中美建设性战略稳定关系”这一两国关系新定位,强调“朝着合作为主、竞争有度、分歧可控、和平可期的方向努力,走出一条两个大国的正确相处之道”。

这里的“正确相处之道”,正是中美友谊之树迎风而立、向阳生长的关键所在。

中美友谊之树,需要点滴浇灌,持之以恒。

无论是高大挺拔的北美红杉,还是治沙植绿的“赛考斯林”,都是用时间累积下的生长历程。

2017年,习近平主席在北京同美国总统特朗普会谈时说,人文交流是“‘前人栽树,后人乘凉’的长期事业”。

今年5月,在北京中南海,中美元首小范围会晤时,穿行于苍劲挺拔的古树间,习近平主席有感而发:“展现生命,展现历史。站在这里,会升华我们的精神。”

在不同场景阐发的重要论述,蕴藏发展大国关系的深刻道理。

今次访美,习近平主席强调,构建中美建设性战略稳定关系不是权宜之计,也不是朝夕之功,“不以善小而不为,不以恶小而为之”“以钉钉子精神落实好双方达成的共识”……

中美友谊之树,需要久久为功的坚韧与行动。

Lai Ruilong participated in the Dalinpu "Our New Hometown" barbecue dinner and spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with the folks

Lai Ruilong, candidate for Kaohsiung mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, attended the "We're New Hometown" barbecue dinner in Dalinpu to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with fellow villagers. He shared three key points for barbecue: the fire must be strong, the ingredients must be fresh, and the most important thing is to eat the meat as soon as it is cooked. He compared this to the progress of the Dalin Pu relocation village and said that he would continue Mayor Chen Qimai's plan, cooperate with President Lai Qingde and the Kaohsiung team of the parliament, strive for central budget subsidies, properly utilize local financial resources, and implement relocation guarantees so that the villagers can move towards a new life with peace of mind. He also wished the villagers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a safe family, and looked forward to an early reunion in the "new hometown".

Ke Wenzhe called the blue-white situation in Zhubei a black swan and a gray rhinoceros, questioning the leaders of the two parties for not handling the aftermath.

When Ko Wenzhe went to Yilan for the auxiliary election, he pointed out that the blue-white tie in the Zhubei mayoral election was a black swan, and if not dealt with, it would become a gray rhinoceros. He questioned that the chairmen of the two parties should talk about the aftermath, otherwise it would be strange. At the same time, he emphasized that the effects of the Zhubei election have not yet begun, and the spillover effects are difficult to predict.

Ye Yaoyuan: There are no representatives from the business community at the US-China Summit because China has no business community and the Communist Party has fully incorporated it.

U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping recently held a summit in the United States, and Trump hosted a banquet in honor of Xi Jinping. Foreign media reported that no representatives from the Chinese business community were present at the event. Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, pointed out that this is because China has no business community and the Communist Party has been fully integrated. He also questioned that the goals of the US-China trade negotiations conflict and cannot achieve substantive results. He believes that the summit is just a show for China.
