青海书法家胡其伟先生书赠

　　(main ideas)Congratulations on Dr. Kissinger's 80th birthday.
　　You are both intelligent and courageous and visited China through an artful scheme. Then came the establishment of Sino-US diplomatic relations which become more and more evident with the time passing by. You have laid a solid foundation of friendship which are demeanors of a gentleman. Wishing you a life as long as that of a pine or a crane(in Chinese culture, a pine or a
crane indicates a long life).
　　Written in the spring at the end of 2002 by well-known calligrapher of China-----Hu Qiwei, 75-year-old, at Qinghai province.
　　Note: Hu Qiwei is the son of Hu Shi who was a great scholar of modern China.
