上海是美国总统罗纳德·里根（Ronald Reagan）1984年六天访华之旅的最后一站。

适逢中国的劳动节假期，数十万中国民众涌上这座古老的商业城市的街头来跟里根总统打招呼。有人说那是里根职业生涯中最盛大的接待活动。有那么一刻，总统用手绢轻轻擦了下眼睛，明显是被热烈的欢迎所感动。
在上海期间，里根先生在复旦大学与700名学子见了面。他说：“我们邀请你们来了解我们。”他用亲身经历讲述了美国作为一个移民国家的公平、理想主义、同情心、乐观、宗教和对和平的热爱。“我的年轻朋友们，历史是一条河流，可能会把我们带往任何地方。但是我们有力量去寻找航路、去选择方向，一起行进。长风起，湍流急，机会等待着我们踏上一段漫长而又充满收获的旅程。”
Shanghai was U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s last stop during a six-day tour of China in 1984. In this picture, Mr. and Mrs. Reagan watch as a Chinese girl dances in his honor at the Rainbow Bridge Township Day Care Center on May 1, 1984. During this Chinese Labor Day holiday, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people jammed the streets of the old commercial city to greet Presdient Reagan. Some said it was the biggest reception of his career. At one point the President dabbed his eye with a hankercheif, apparently touched by the warm greeting. While in Shanghai, Mr. Reagan met with 700 students at Fudan University. “We invite you to know us,” he said, presenting a personal account of the United States as a nation of immigrants displaying fairness, idealism, compassion, optimism, religion and love of peace. “My young friends, history is a river that may take us as it will. But we have the power to navigate, to choose direction, and make our passage together. The wind is up, the current is swift, and opportunity for a long and fruitful journey awaits us.”(Photo: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library)
