The evaluation of President Reagan's achievements has also been ups and downs in the past decade. Some people say that it is precisely because of the constant arms race between President Reagan and the former Soviet Union that the Cold War ended and the United States became the only superpower in the world today, so Reagan is a well-deserved American hero. However, some people say that it is precisely because of the economic policies implemented by President Reagan that the huge deficit of the United States has been created. Historians say that the evaluation of an American president will have different conclusions in different historical development periods according to the situation at that time, but it is rare to see such ups and downs as the evaluation of President Reagan.

Maureen is not Reagan's current wife Nancy's biological; Her mother is Mrs Jenny Wyman, Reagan's ex-wife. Ms Wyman is still alive. As the president's daughter, Maureen Reagan once attracted people's attention because of her active participation in American politics.

When President Reagan authorized Morris, it was the beginning of his second presidential term. Because of authorized writing, Morris has access to materials that ordinary writers can't, but a biography has been used for fourteen years, and because of President Reagan's illness, I'm afraid he will never see this biography about himself again.

In the newly published book, his wife Nancy revealed for the first time the love letters, telegrams and greeting cards that Reagan wrote to her in the past 50 years, all of which were touching and sweet words. Just by calling Nancy "dear mother", Reagan knew how much tenderness this steely man was full of. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Nancy's new book, I Love You, Lonnie: Reagan's Letter to Nancy, was published by Random House and officially listed on September 5. The whole book is a Reagan manuscript with simple illustrations. The letters in the book began when they met in Hollywood more than 50 years ago, until Reagan announced that he had Alzheimer's disease in 1994. These letters were originally intended to be donated to the Reagan Library, but when Nancy accidentally read them again, after careful consideration, she decided to make her husband's emotional side public. Among them, the letter Reagan wrote in 1978 touched Nancy very much. By then, they had been married for 26 years. In the letter, Reagan explained that the definition of marriage is "once I lose my partner, I will never be satisfied and happy" and "I want to add charm to the most touching woman in the world every day". [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Reagan was a romantic. In fact, his letter is really wonderful. 1963, he wrote to his wife: "Do you know that when you are asleep, your curled fist is under your chin, and many mornings before dawn, I lie beside you and look at you. I'm afraid to wake you, but I can't help touching you gently. " Today, Reagan, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, can't remember or recognize anyone, but he still knows Nancy. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Since Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, he rarely appeared in public at the age of 89. Alzheimer's disease can lead to memory loss. At present, about 4 million Americans suffer from it, and Nancy even calls it "a really long farewell". Nancy wrote in the book: "You know this is a long-term disease and it is impossible to get better. It leads to the end of a dark tunnel, and you will feel tired and depressed because you can't grasp the situation and feel completely helpless. " Nancy pointed out that Reagan had no symptoms before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1994, so she began to recall that Reagan had an accident while riding a horse just a few months after leaving office in 1989. At first, they spent their holidays on a farm in Mexico. He fell off his horse and suffered from concussion and subdural hematoma. She wrote: "I always thought [www.365zn.com, click to enter].

When Reagan first met Nancy, he was not famous. He often performed in nightclubs all over the world, or he could only play a small role in low-budget movies and TV series. Once when the staff crowded into the studio and chatted happily, he was the only one who was thoughtful and seemed to be out of place with everyone. Reagan wrote to Nancy to describe his feelings at that time. He said, "Time is not medicine. I finally waited until dinner time. I went to 2 1 restaurant alone and had dinner. At this time, I imagined that you would appear on the express train and have dinner with me. " 1963 Reagan wrote in his love letter: "If I am miserable, it is because we are separated from each other, but I am not miserable, because you and I have become one, so we are not really separated. But I am still bitter, because I love you. Without you, there is no happiness. " After Reagan entered the White House, he was often interviewed by the media or gave speeches on a whim [www.365zn.com, click to enter].
Sometimes, it seems too dramatic for the "new human" couple to pour out their love for Nancy. And capable professional women may not agree with Nancy's willingness to cook soup at home so that her husband can have no worries. Teenagers may not be able to stand the Reagan couple hugging at the White House when they are over 50. Reagan said bluntly, "I can never kiss you enough." You are the sun in my life. I admire your roommate very much. " Readers can't find the president and the first lady in these love letters, but are infected by the sincere feelings between a man named Ronald Reagan and his favorite woman Nancy.

Love at first sight [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Reagan and Nancy first met in 1949. Nancy Davis, still unknown, found her name on the list of sympathizers. In a conversation, she complained to Melvin Leroy, an influential director in Hollywood and her close friend. Leroy suggested that Nancy report to Ronald Reagan, president of the Film Actors Association (it was later confirmed that the person on the list had the same name as Nancy). At that time, Reagan had just divorced movie star jane wyman. Nancy has seen many Reagan movies and has long wanted to know this handsome movie star, so she is happy to take Leroy's advice. On the same day, Reagan called Nancy and asked her out. They walked into a restaurant frequented by movie stars. After dinner, Reagan told Nancy that Sophie Tucker would perform at the Ciro Theatre. Nancy went with the flow: "I have never seen Sophie's performance." Reagan said, "well, why don't we go to the first show?" As a result, they watched it twice in a row and fell in love at first sight. When they first met, neither of them wanted to leave. Nancy said: "Looking back now, I still don't know what magic power Ronald has, which made me think that' he is the best person for me'. He never talks about himself or his movies. He is a civil war fan, likes riding horses and has a deep study of wine. In short, I like everything about him. " [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
After dating Nancy for two years, Reagan finally proposed to her. Three months later, on March 4th, 1952, they tied the knot in Little Brown Church in San Fernando Valley. However, in the first few years after marriage, their lives were not smooth. Reagan didn't make much progress in acting, because Hollywood didn't like his type of actor, which showed that Reagan had begun to decline in Hollywood. He came across some bad scripts. Although he didn't like them at all, he took on several movies. Nancy stopped working after the birth of their first child, Patty. Although she likes acting, she has witnessed many busy actresses' marriages ending in failure. She would rather sacrifice her career and keep her family, because in her eyes, Reagan is her whole life, and she doesn't want their marriage to take any risks. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]

From the autumn of 1954 to the spring of 1962, Reagan presided over the General Electric Theatre, and their time together was always full of joy and happiness. Sometimes, Reagan runs around the United States alone, and whenever loneliness strikes, he writes to Nancy. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Dear: [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
If we are at home, we will light a stove, read comic books together, don't answer the phone, and don't want anyone to disturb us. It's like I'm sitting here, next to the fake fire on the sixth floor, looking at the gray and humid sky outside and listening to the music on the radio, and I don't want to sit alone. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Even so, I moved from one place to another, surrounded by endless loneliness, but it doesn't matter how long I stay, because as long as I write "I miss you" more, I will feel a wonderful warmth in loneliness, just like looking at a bright and warm room. It doesn't matter whether it is cold or dark at this time. You know where that room is. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
When Reagan toured the country with the General Electric Theatre, he visited many factories, met many managers and knew what people were thinking. Gradually, he talked more and more about politics and formed his own views. This laid a solid foundation for his future election as governor of California. Reagan left the General Electric Theater in 1962, and for the first time in several years, he lived a full-time family life with Nancy and his two children-/kloc-0-0-year-old Patty and 4-year-old Karen. In the next three years, he participated in the performances of TV series such as Freight Train. 1963 In May, Reagan wrote the following love letter in cooperation with the author of his early autobiography "Where is the rest of my life" in new york.

When talking about this love letter, Nancy is still emotional: "A few years later, many people said that I put Ronald on the political stage. Actually, this is not right. The person who said this didn't know Ronald at all, because he was competitive and never needed to be pushed. From 65438 to 0966, he planned to run for governor. I supported his decision, but after the campaign started, I was a little uncertain about my life in the political circle. After all, this is a new and strange world for me. So, from the beginning, I said to those who encouraged Ronald to run for office,' You know, I can't make a speech.' But they asked me,' Can't you even bow? I said, I will. In that case, I will throw caution to the wind. "[www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Talking about their family life, Nancy said that their house is not very big, but it has a beautiful backyard with many camellias and a swimming pool. After the arrival of summer, they began to hold various parties, put boards on the swimming pool and invited bands and other artists. In midsummer, they hold swimming parties, and stars like Jack Benny and Ryder Shelton often perform. Soon, the children from the neighborhood gathered around and watched the performance on the fence. Nancy always invites them into the house and sits on the lawn to enjoy with the guests. The happiest people in the world are at home. Nancy and Reagan seldom disagree, but they also disagree on some important issues. As reflected in the following letter written in the mid-1960s, Reagan always couldn't sleep in the middle of the night after quarreling with Nancy. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]

You are Mrs. Reagan, because Reagan loves you with all his heart. Whenever Mr. Reagan sees the stars in the evening, blows out the birthday candles, or grabs a fat wishing bone, I always think of the same hope-I really pray and hope that happiness will last forever. Sometimes Mr. Reagan loses his temper and slams the door, but that's all because he can't shout or stamp his feet to scold. He is really not that kind of person. But Mr. Reagan always shares weal and woe with Mrs. Reagan. It is hard for him to imagine what the world would be like without her-he loves her. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]

Regarding the assassination of Reagan, Nancy recalled that 198 1 March 30, 2008, at first she felt no different from other days. At noon, she went to a banquet held in an art museum in Washington. It suddenly occurred to her that she must go back to the White House at once. She has never felt this way before. So Nancy made an excuse, left the party and returned to the White House. George Opfer, a secret policeman, told her, "There was a shooting, but the president was not seriously injured." There is a lot of noise in the hospital. Nancy went straight to the emergency room and saw Reagan lying there, wearing an oxygen mask. When Reagan saw her, he took off his mask and said, "Honey, I forgot to hide." The bullet went through his heart 1 inch. That night, Nancy slept beside Reagan's bed, which made her feel closer to him. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]

Dear Mrs. Reagan: [www.365zn.com, click to enter]
Of course, it is my "first lady" who has paid too much for me. All I have to do is wash my face or take a bath. There is another woman in my life. She did something that I couldn't see but could hear. Sometimes I can only see her doing these things from photos. When she visited the hospital, she was holding an orphan in her arms, and the expression on her face was only comparable to that of the Virgin Mary. The expression on the orphan's face is reverence. I know the expression on the child's face is reverence, because I admire her too. I love another woman too. She likes to build a love nest. If she stays in a hotel for three days in a row, she will turn the guest room into a warm home. She always moves furniture. When you look at the newly arranged furniture, you will wonder why it doesn't look good in its original place. I'm also crazy about the girl who went to the ranch with me. If we collect firewood, she will soon pick up a lot of dead branches. Finally, I still love that sensitive lady, and I love her tearful eyes. On the other hand, she loves to laugh, and laughter is as beautiful as a silver bell. Fortunately, all these women in my life are you! I am so lucky. Without you, my life would be colorless. I love all of you, mom, first lady, sensitive and naughty. Merry Christmas with all my love. [www.365zn.com, click to enter]

His illness was revealed in the letter, hoping to arouse discussion in the medical field. 1994, he disappeared from public view. Now, in Reagan's narrow world, Nancy is still the core. She said, "It's really hard to describe my life now. There is terrible loneliness in my life. No one can really understand my feelings unless I experience them personally. She went on to say: "We had an extraordinary life, but after the illness reversed, we became overwhelmed and had too many memories to share with him. It was really hard to accept. When things come, you have to face them yourself. Every day, things are different. You get up, walk step by step, and then continue to love, just love. "
