Galvanizing Our Peoples into a Strong Force For the Cause of China-U.S. Friendship [2]
中美关系的根基是由人民浇筑的。第二次世界大战时期，我们两国共同为和平和正义而战。陈纳德将军带领美国志愿者奔赴中国战场，组成了著名的飞虎队。他们不仅直接对日本侵略者作战，还建起了向中国运送急需物资的驼峰航线，1000多名中美机组人员牺牲在这条航线上。日本偷袭珍珠港后，1942年美国空军16架B-25轰炸机奔袭日本，由于油料不足，杜立特中校等飞行员在中国弃机跳伞，中国军民奋勇救助，日军竟因此屠杀了25万中国平民。
The foundation of China-U.S. relations was laid by our peoples. During World War II, our two countries fought side by side for peace and justice. Headed by General Claire Lee Chennault, a group of American volunteers, known as the Flying Tigers, went to the battlefield in China. They not only engaged in direct combats fighting Japanese aggressors, but also created “The Hump” airlift to transport much-needed supplies to China. More than 1,000 Chinese and American airmen lost their lives on this air route. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States sent 16 B-25 bombers on an air raid to Japan in 1942. Running low on fuel after completing their mission, Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle and his fellow pilots parachuted in China. They were rescued by Chinese troops and local civilians. But some 250,000 civilian Chinese were killed by Japanese aggressors in retaliation.
中国人民没有忘记飞虎队。我们在重庆专门修建了纪念馆，邀请了1000多名飞虎队老兵及其家属回到中国，我同他们中的一些人也一直有书信往来。最近，飞虎队老兵、103岁高龄的莫耶和98岁高龄的麦克马伦来到中国，登上了长城，受到中国人民热烈欢迎。
The Chinese people never forget the Flying Tigers. We built a Flying Tigers museum in Chongqing, and invited over 1,000 Flying Tigers veterans and their families to visit China. I have kept in touch with some of them through letters. Most recently, 103-year-old Harry Moyer and 98-year-old Mel McMullen, both Flying Tigers veterans, went back to China. They visited the Great Wall, and were warmly received by the Chinese people.
美国人民也没有忘记殊死营救美国军人的中国人民。浙江衢州有一个杜立特行动纪念馆，当年获救的美国军人的后代经常来到这里，向见义勇为的中国人民表达敬意。我相信，血与火铸造的中美两国人民友谊一定能够代代相传。
The American people, on their part, always remember the Chinese who risked their lives to save American pilots. Offspring of those American pilots often visit the Doolittle Raid Memorial Hall in Quzhou of Zhejiang Province to pay tribute to the Chinese people for their heroic and valorous efforts. These stories fill me with firm confidence that the friendship between our two peoples, which has stood the test of blood and fire, will be passed on from generation to generation.
中美关系的大门是由人民打开的。两国曾经隔绝对立22年。是时代潮流让我们走向彼此，是共同利益让中美超越分歧，是人民愿望让两国打破坚冰。1971年，美国乒乓球代表团来到北京，小球转动了大球。此后不久，曼斯菲尔德先生率领的第一个美国国会议员代表团来了，包括艾奥瓦州州长罗伯特·雷在内的第一个美国州长代表团来了，许多工商界人士也来了，掀起了中美友好交往的浪潮。
The door of China-U.S. relations was opened by our peoples. For 22 years, there were estrangement and antagonism between our two countries. But the trend of the times brought us together, converging interests enabled us to rise above differences, and the people’s longing broke the ice between the two countries. In 1971, the U.S. table tennis team visited Beijing—a small ball moved the globe. Not long after that, Mr. Mike Mansfield led the first U.S. Congressional delegation to China. This was followed by the first governors’ delegation including Iowa Governor Robert Ray and then many business delegations, forming waves of friendly exchanges.
世界走出新冠疫情大流行后，我在北京见了基辛格博士、比尔·盖茨先生，也见了舒默先生和其他几位参议员，还有纽森州长。我对他们讲，中美关系希望在人民，基础在民间，未来在青年，活力在地方。我欢迎更多美国州长、议员访华，欢迎美国各界人士到中国去。
This year, after the world emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic, I have respectively met in Beijing with Dr. Henry Kissinger, Mr. Bill Gates, Senator Chuck Schumer and his Senate colleagues, and Governor Gavin Newsom. I told them that the hope of the China-U.S. relationship lies in the people, its foundation is in our societies, its future depends on the youth, and its vitality comes from exchanges at subnational levels. I welcome more U.S. governors, Congressional members, and people from all walks of life to visit China.
中美关系的故事是由人民书写的。我第一次访问美国时，住在艾奥瓦州的德沃切克夫妇家中，我还记得门牌号是邦尼街2911号。这是我同美国民众首次面对面接触，也是一段我和美国人民共同生活的难忘经历。对我来说，他们就是美国。我也发现，两国虽然历史文化、社会制度、发展道路不同，但人民都善良友好、勤劳务实，都爱祖国、爱家庭、爱生活，都对彼此抱有好感和兴趣。正是善意友好的涓滴汇流，让宽广太平洋不再是天堑；正是人民的双向奔赴，让中美关系一次次从低谷重回正道。我相信，中美关系的大门一旦打开，就不会再被关上。两国人民友好事业一经开启，就不会半途而废。人民友谊之树已经长大，一定能经风历雨。
The stories of China-U.S. relations are written by our peoples. During my first visit to the United States, I stayed at the Dvorchaks in Iowa. I still remember their address—2911 Bonnie Drive. That was my first face-to-face contact with the Americans. The days I spent with them are unforgettable. For me, they represent America. I have found that although our two countries are different in history, culture and social system and have embarked on different development paths, our two peoples are both kind, friendly, hardworking and down-to-earth. We both love our countries, our families and our lives, and we both are friendly toward each other and are interested in each other. It is the convergence of many streams of goodwill and friendship that has created a strong current surging across the vast Pacific Ocean; it is the reaching out to each other by our peoples that has time and again brought China-U.S. relations from a low ebb back onto the right track. I am convinced that once opened, the door of China-U.S. relations cannot be shut again. Once started, the cause of China-U.S. friendship cannot be derailed halfway. The tree of our peoples’ friendship has grown tall and strong; and it can surely withstand the assault of any wind or storm.
中美关系的未来是由人民创造的。越是困难的时候，越需要拉紧人民的纽带、增进人心的沟通，越需要更多的人站出来为中美关系鼓与呼。我们要为人民之间的交往搭建更多桥梁、铺设更多道路，而不是设置各种障碍、制造“寒蝉效应”。
The future of China-U.S. relations will be created by our peoples. The more difficulties there are, the greater the need for us to forge a closer bond between our peoples and to open our hearts to each other, and more people need to speak up for the relationship. We should build more bridges and pave more roads for people-to-people interactions. We must not erect barriers or create a chilling effect.
我今天同拜登总统达成重要共识，两国将推出更多便利人员往来、促进人文交流的措施，包括增加中美客运直航航班，举办中美旅游高层对话，优化签证申请流程等。我们期待着两国人民多走动、多来往、多交流，共同续写新时代两国人民友好的故事！我也期待着加州和旧金山在中美友好的征程上继续领跑！
Today, President Biden and I reached important consensus. Our two countries will roll out more measures to facilitate travels and promote people-to-people exchanges, including increasing direct passenger flights, holding a high-level dialogue on tourism, and streamlining visa application procedures. We hope that our two peoples will make more visits, contacts and exchanges and write new stories of friendship in the new era. I also hope that California and San Francisco will continue to take the lead on the journey of growing China-U.S. friendship!
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Friends,
我们处在一个充满挑战变化的时代，也处在一个充满希望的时代。世界的未来需要中美合作。作为世界上最大的发展中国家和发达国家，中美要好好打交道。面对变乱交织的世界，中美更需要有宽广的胸怀，展现大国格局、拿出大国担当、发挥大国作用。
We are in an era of challenges and changes. It is also an era of hope. The world needs China and the United States to work together for a better future. We, the largest developing country and the largest developed country, must handle our relations well. In a world of changes and chaos, it is ever more important for us to have the mind, assume the vision, shoulder the responsibility, and play the role that come along with our status as major countries.
