35年前的今天，中美两国正式建立了外交关系。发生在1979年的这一历史事件堪称20世纪下半叶国际关系史上最具战略意义的事件。它不仅翻开了中美两国关系新的一页，而且对国际形势的演变产生了深远影响。

Thirty-five years ago today, China and the United States entered into official diplomatic relations. It is fair to say that this historic event in 1979 exerted the greatest strategic impact on the international relations in the latter half of the 20th century. It not only opened a new page in the history of China-US relations, but also had a far-reaching impact on the evolving international environment.
