Portrait sculptures of Richard Nixon and Zhou Enlai for a traveling exhibit;
尼克松 尊敬 周恩来,把他与周毛打开的中美和世界新格局视为他一生最重要的杰作
这个本来用于巡回展出的 尼-周 雕塑是最先制作的
随后才有了 世界10领袖的群雕, 均是真人尺寸 青铜雕塑,栩栩如生。
ten portrait sculptures of world leaders who influenced President Nixon's life.
这10位领袖是 尼克松本人挑选和决定的,
因为他认为他们与自己进行了交往,对美国和世界产生了重大影响
尼克松图书馆的世界领袖厅里,共陈列着10位20世纪风云人物的塑像,其中包括
英国的丘吉尔、法国的戴高乐、苏联的勃烈日涅夫和赫鲁晓夫,
德国的阿登纳、以色列的梅厄夫人、埃及的萨达特和日本的吉田茂。
其他人均为站像,唯有毛泽东和周恩来是坐姿,放在前面最突出的位置。
由此看出中国在他心目中的位置,以及他如何尊崇毛泽东和周恩来。
有人询问过尼克松为何希望自己的博物馆中出现毛的铜像,
得到的回答是:
尼克松本人希望毛的铜像放在他的图书馆里 而且显要位置,
所以是老尼本人的决定,不是后人强加给他的
是因为想要在馆中摆放
“在他政治生涯当中所有打过交道的、可敬畏的国际人士”。

A quote from Nixon on a wall explains his selections:
"They are leaders who have made a difference.
Not because they wished it, but because they willed it."
馆内墙上尼克松的这句话 寓意隽永:
他们是有所作为的领袖,非由他们所欲 而工他们志在必得。
我喜欢老尼这句话。
