    Personally, what I find most interesting in this film is the humanity of all concerned, the Chinese historical figures like Zhou Enlai, a man who fought a war and revolution, and Richard Nixon, a son of a relatively poor family who made it bigtime, meeting to get aquainted. It is on a presonal level that people can relate, not on an ideological one, and that is the bedrock on which peace can be established.

    I wrote a letter to Nixon as a sixth grader in 1968. My father was a corporate attorney & somehow made sure the letter got to D.C. I received a letter back from Rose Mary Woods (I still have it) reflecting Nixon's gratitude & that I should thank my father for his efforts. In other words, I have a letter from the White House.

    Exactly 50 years later and watching this old film and I have to admire the vision of Nixon. He was probably far "forward thinking" than a lot of politicians in his generation. I like what he said that the United States and China have differences but we don't need to be enemy at war and it will be good for the mankind if the two great nations can co-exist peacefully that way. I would hope we can have more leaders like Nixon who will promote mutual-understanding and forward thinking than politicians aiming for short-term political gains by touting hate and hatred.

    I am from Beijing, I was about 7 years old then, I still remember his visit. I personnally saw his motorcade went through alone the Changan Street. And for the first time, I saw an American Flag flied over China. There was no live broadcasting in China of his speech for sure as it indicated in the Documentary.
    It was 7 years after before the two counties estabilished foreign relationships, that propably because the downfall of President Nixon. However, his visit, did opened the door for China to be known to the outside world, and as what Prs. Nixson said himself "A new day will begin for the whole world"!

The world will move forward, not backward. No matter how hostile and hateful, there will always be great leaders like Nixon, and Nixon 2, and 3, and more to open doors, smash walls and reach out to People, and unit people, no matter what ideals, values, or races they are. None could separate them as people are all from the same Father.

    i have learnt a lot about Premier Chou from books, however, i never got the feeling that he is a REAL person until i watched this video, oh my dear, everything is so vivid, he stands, walks, speaks, laughs just like any old man i can see in my daily life. Meanwhile, consider his unique revolution experience from young age to death, from Japan to Europe, from Guangzhou to Nanchang, from Jianggang Mountain to Yan'an, from Xibaipo to Beijing, the Long March, his serving in government, his suffering in the culture revolution, all these make him stand out from general old people. He has made history, and he himself is the history.

      I would express my greatest appreciation for your compliment to my home country and compatriot. Chinese people are great people, Polish people are great people too, and so are American people.
      President Nixon flied to China, a country which had no diplomatic relation with US, in the dark age of cold war. Therefore , there is no reason to stop interact with other people from another country at nowadays. But the most important thing is, first of all, being modest and listening to others without prejudice.
      Thank you for your wishes, and I wish you all the best as well.

He has the greatest respect of each chinese.

The exact opposite effect has taken place. China is no more democratic than the day Mao walked into Peking (Beijing). However, the U.S is now a socialist state, with China controlling its house of representatives, media, banks, and Hollywood. Go on, make more of a fool of your self like Kissinger has.

    I as well wrote Mr. Nixon. I wrote 2 letters, one in May & the other in November 1977. My paternal grandfather (Papa) knew him because of his business dealings. Papa owned the largest Toy Model Kit, Slot Car Racing & Train Set manufacturing company in the World, Aurora Plastics Corp.
    When our dog died in May 1977, we had Tony (Our Dog) buried across the street from Mr. Nixon's dog Checkers in Bide-A-Wee Pet Cemetery on Long Island, New York. We actually have 5 dogs and a Cat buried there.
    I wrote him thanking him for suggesting the cemetery to us and for the card of condolence he sent. I got a very nice reply from him. In November of 1977 I wrote him again to thank him for the card & fruit basket he sent when my grandmother died on 28 October 1977. Again, I received a very nice reply from Mr. Nixon himself. He apologized for not attending the wake or funeral because he didn't want a lot of security problems for us, the grieving family.
    I know my grandfather liked him and I actually found him to be a nice man, when he came to see my grandfather when Papa was dying and he attended the burial service for Papa, not the wake.
    I wish Watergate never happened and am sorry about what he did caused so much grief on the American people, but again, he was a nice person as an acquaintance and he did many many good things for the United States and the stain of Watergate ruined the good he did. I still have the letters and signed photograph he sent. His wife was a very sweet lady as well.
    Respectfully,
    Dr. G. Giammarino, III

Lots of good people, educated people had been put in jails. I'm impressed they were still able find a skillful translator. She has zero Chinese accent. She sounds just like an American. I don't supposed she has studied in the US which makes it more impressive.
