齐迈克题赠本《中国现场》—— 致“老中国通”史大伟夫妇 China Live Inscribed by Mike Chinoy to Stephen & Imoi Schlaikjer — A Legacy of 1989 Beijing and 1997 Hong Kong

齐迈克亲笔题赠本《中国现场》—— 致“老中国通”史大伟夫妇，横跨 1989 北京与 1997 香港的共同记忆

A truly extraordinary Association Copy that unites the primary voices of American journalism and diplomacy during China’s most turbulent decades.

• The Inscription: Signed in Hong Kong, 1997, author Mike Chinoy (CNN’s legendary First Beijing Bureau Chief) addresses Stephen & Imoi Schlaikjer as "Old friends and fellow China hands," acknowledging they would appreciate the book’s "adventures" more than anyone.

• The 1989 Connection: During the Tiananmen Square protests, while Chinoy was making broadcasting history with CNN's first live global transmission, Stephen Schlaikjer was at the heart of the storm as a Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. They were the eyes and ears of the West during China’s most critical hour.

• The 1997 Milestone: This volume was inscribed during the Hong Kong Handover, another historical pivot point where Chinoy (CNN Asia Correspondent) and Schlaikjer (U.S. Deputy Consul General in HK) once again found themselves side-by-side witnessing the end of an era.

• Visual Documentation: The book features iconic imagery, including Chinoy’s live broadcasts from the Square and personal photos of life in the Beijing Diplomatic Compound—the very environment the author and the recipient shared.

• Provenance: Sourced directly from the Estate of Stephen A. Schlaikjer.

这本 1997 年的首版《中国现场》，是新闻界与外交界两位重量级“中国通”深刻友谊的见证，承载了两个改变时代的重大时刻。

• 双重历史见证： 1. 1989 北京六四运动： 当齐迈克在天安门广场通过 CNN 向全球进行实时卫星直播时，史大伟先生正作为美国驻华大使馆的政治官，在风暴中心撰写决定性的外交分析。

2. 1997 香港： 本书题赠于香港回归之年。彼时，齐迈克是记录主权移交的重要记者，CNN香港局局长，而史大伟则是美国驻港总领事馆的副总领事。

• 战友般的题词： 齐迈克在扉页动情地称史大伟夫妇为“老友”和“同行老中国通”。他深知，书中所记录的那些“adventure冒险”，史大伟不仅读得懂，更是与他并肩亲历之人。

• 档案价值： 书中收录了不少珍贵照片，从 1989 年的直播现场到 90 年代北京外交公寓的生活片段。对于藏家而言，这不仅是一部回忆录，更是两个家庭、两种职业在历史洪流中交汇的实物档案。

• 出处确认： 出自史大伟先生遗物。
