Why did Locke resign after all?

Locke has come to China, and Locke is leaving again. Locke is Chinese (born on January 21, 195. My ancestral home is Jilong Village, Wantou, Mingtang Township, Taishan II District, Guangdong Province, China —— now Jilong Village, Shuibu Town, Taishan City, Guangdong Province. He is the third generation of this immigrant family. ), his ancestors are all from China, but he is an American and came to China for the benefit of the United States. As an ambassador to China, during his recent years in China, he has shown many impressive things, such as flying economy class, backpacking, and buying coffee with coupons ... For his national interests in the United States, he has also traveled around China, given speeches and participated in various diplomatic activities.

Now that he is leaving, people begin to review and summarize his political career. According to the resume, Locke was the 21st governor of Washington State from 1997 to 25, the first Chinese-American to be elected as the governor of the United States, and the 36th federal commerce secretary. On June 23, 211, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to approve Gary Locke as the US ambassador to China. In August of the same year, Locke arrived in China to take up his new post.

His resignation statement said, "Being an ambassador to China is the honor of my life" and "I am the first Chinese to hold this position"; The reason for resigning is "returning to Seattle to reunite with my family". People wonder, after he resigned in early 214, will he run for president of the United States? Or will he partner with Hillary Clinton, the wife of former US President Bill Clinton, to run for office? Although Locke is a politician, here, I want to put aside the unsolvable and enigmatic politics and explore how attractive his "home" and "family" are enough for Locke to abandon politics and return to the United States. Is it because he is 63 years old, old and weak, and his heart is haggard, and he wants to leave the leaves behind? What is the real reason for Locke's resignation? Locke's career has reached its peak unless he runs for president of the United States. How many years can a person who is over 6 toss about? It is right to attach importance to family, and it is ok to enjoy family happiness.

After he offered to resign, there were many rumors, some said that he was unpopular with China people, some speculated about extramarital affairs, some said that Locke had not handled Snowden and other events properly, and some speculated that it was because of the persuasion of former President Clinton, and so on.

However, there is no real evidence about all this. Let's believe Ambassador Locke's own words. Perhaps it is really for the sake of children's schooling and reunion with his wife. After all, Locke's wife, Mona Lee, was elected Miss Asian America in 1986. She is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and the age difference between them is still ten years. She takes care of two children by herself, and she really needs a man around her! Although he has no white skin and blue eyes, he is an American after all and will return to his own country after all. It's just that Locke's departure is only a little more than two years since he took office. Why did he resign? Chinese and American officials have remained silent so far, which makes "the theory of smog in the imperial capital" occupy the first place in daydream analysis. Netizens, in particular, think that it is estimated that the air in Beijing is so bad that Gary Locke, an American who has always attached importance to health, finally can't bear the torture of respiratory tract and quit.

It may also be related to the arrangement of the Obama administration. It is possible that he went back to prepare for the presidential campaign. But he himself said that he would return to his family and that a happy family was his strong backing. Some people even say that Locke owes everything today to his wife: Mona Lee, a girl with a unique temperament and a noble birth. He proposed to his wife three times, was considerate of his wife after marriage, and probably really resigned for his family. After all, Americans are different from China. They can really give up their careers and go back to their families.
