#美中40年# #历任美国总统访华# “我们谨此希望，随着中国人民和美国人民之间联络的增多，我们各自将继续了解对方，同时我们新建立的这段重要友谊将成熟繁荣下去。”

罗纳德·里根（Ronald Reagan）是美国与中华人民共和国于1979年1月1日建立外交关系之后首位访问中国的在任总统。

为期六天的国事访问从1984年4月26日持续到5月1日。总统和第一夫人前往了北京、西安以及上海。如照片所示，1984年4月28日，总统夫妇在北京与时任中国领导人邓小平进行了会晤。此行期间，里根先生对中国人民“令人钦佩的耐心和始终如一的礼貌”表达了感激之情。

“Let us hope that, as contacts grow between the Chinese and American people, each of us will continue to learn about the other, and this important new friendship of ours will mature and prosper.”  

Ronald Reagan was the first sitting American President to visit China after the re-establishment of diplomatic relations by the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China on January 1, 1979. 

The six-day state visit took place during April 26 – May 1, 1984.  The President and first lady traveled to Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai.  In Beijing the couple met with China’s leader at the time, Deng Xiaoping, as pictured here on April 28, 1984.  During this trip, Mr. Reagan expressed gratitude for the Chinese people’s ''admirable patience and endless courtesy.”
