解密哥, November 20, 2013 【别了，骆家辉】骆家辉要回美国了，不管他是以什么原因离开中国，估计全国官员都会长出一口气——麻烦终于要走了。有明珠在侧，假装"为人民服务"的官员们日夜坐卧不安，一颗明珠映衬出一堆垃圾！骆家辉在中国，是一堆垃圾中的明珠，形成强烈对比。他带给中国人的震撼，远超美国的航母编队！(Gary Locke is going back to the U.S. Regardless of the reason for his departure, I imagine officials nationwide are sighing relief—the problem is finally going away. Against the pearl, the officials who pretend to “serve the people” can’t be at peace. Locke in China is like a pearl in a pile of garbage—there is a sharp contrast. The shock he gave to the Chinese people is far more powerful than the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet!)
