(Original title: Locke departure early next year)
美国驻华大使骆家辉20日宣布，定于明年年初离任回国，以便同家人团聚。
回顾两年半驻华工作，骆家辉自评业绩：促进美国对华出口，推动更多中国人赴美旅行。
自我评价：“一生荣耀”
骆家辉在香港《南华早报》发表声明说：“本月初同总统(贝拉克·)奥巴马见面时，我告诉他，我决定2014年初离任大使岗位，以同在西雅图的家人团聚。”
骆家辉说，成为美国驻华大使是“一生荣耀”，他感谢奥巴马让他有机会成为第一名华裔驻华大使。
自2011年3月9日奥巴马提名骆家辉出任第十任美国驻华大使以来，这名美国第三代华裔移民一直受到媒体关注。赴任前，骆家辉坦言，他将处理对美国而言最关键、最复杂的外交、经济与战略关系，这是奥巴马交给他的“最困难工作”。
就任829天后，骆家辉在声明中感慨，处理美中关系是一项“巨大而有回报的挑战……对美国驻华使领馆员工的工作以及我们一起取得的成就，我十分自豪”。
主要业绩：促就业简签证
在20日发布的辞职声明中，骆家辉把推动贸易发展放在“工作总结”的第一位。按照他的说法，他依靠促进美国对华出口增长、开拓美国企业在华市场、以及推动中国企业在美投资这三种方式，致力于为美国国内创造就业岗位。
简化中国公民赴美签证流程是骆家辉为自己总结的第二项业绩。他说，美国驻华使领馆把商务签证和旅游签证的审批时间从70天至100天缩减至3天至5天，“令中国赴美商务旅行和旅游的人数大幅增加”。
根据美国驻华使馆统计，2012年财年，使馆处理超过134万份非移民签证申请，同比增长34%。
中国国家旅游局局长邵琪伟上月说，美国经济分析署先前研究显示，美国每增加65名入境游客，将增加一个就业岗位；中国赴美旅游人数的增加，将为美国创造可观的就业机会。

美国问题专家、广外教授唐小松：
骆家辉可能回国“搞贸易”
南方日报讯 (记者/赖竞超)美国驻华大使骆家辉宣布明年初离任，引起舆论关注。本报记者第一时间连线美国问题专家，专家表示，当前美国“亚太再平衡”战略影响下的中美关系发展是骆家辉辞职的主要原因，其继任者很可能是外交经验更足的人。
美或想换种“外交空气”
对于其辞职原因，广东外语外贸大学教授唐小松分析，“美国政府提出的‘亚太再平衡’战略，引起亚洲乃至整个国际舆论的警觉。今年6月，国家主席习近平与美国总统奥巴马在美国加州成功会晤，确立了中美共建新型大国关系的方向，我想美国政府可能想以此为契机，换一种‘外交空气’。”
此外，唐小松认为，骆家辉个人因素也是导致其辞职的原因，“作为美驻华大使，他是中美之间信息沟通的重要桥梁，压力之大可以想象。我个人认为，骆家辉觉得美国对华政策、尤其是美国政府提出‘亚太再平衡’战略后的对华政策不够清晰，感觉到难以担当大使这份职责。加上他是个重家庭的人，所以辞职。”
对于网上议论骆家辉辞职回美国是为准备竞选下一届美国总统，唐小松表示也不排除这种可能。
接任者外交经验将更足
至于骆家辉辞职后可能的去向，唐小松认为最大的可能是去做“他擅长的”。骆家辉此前做过美国对外依存度最高的华盛顿州的州长，此后又担任商务部长，担任驻华大使前访问中国也是带领贸易代表团前来，总而言之，他一直在和贸易打交道，也做出了成绩。“因此他很有可能做回‘老本行’，继续从事贸易尤其是对华贸易工作。”唐小松说。
对于骆家辉2年多来的大使时光，唐小松表示，“在美国政府看来，这位非职业外交家出身的大使，在推进中美关系过程中的力度似乎不够。”因此，唐小松觉得，在新时期下，美国政府很有可能派一个外交经验更足的人接替骆家辉。
家族故事
“一英里走一百年”
骆家辉现年63岁，祖籍广东台山，出身于华盛顿州一个中国移民家庭。伴随骆家辉从政，骆家“一英里走了一百年”的故事流传开来。
“100年前，我的祖父乘蒸汽船到华盛顿州。他举目无亲，不懂半句英文，在一个白人家庭做佣人，这户人家距州长官邸不到1英里路程，”骆家辉曾在介绍自己家族的移民经历时说，“100年后，当我宣誓就任华盛顿州州长时，我开玩笑说，我们家族用了一个世纪，才从那幢做佣人的房子，搬进州长官邸。”
他的华裔身份曾让一些人一度有种想法，这名黄皮肤、黑头发的美国“代言人”或许对美中事务采取更“柔和”立场。
实际上，骆家辉从不讳言，自己“服务于”美国总统和美国人民。新华
■盘点
美驻华“准大使”及大使轶事
从美国1973年在北京设立联络处以来，共有14人出任驻华联络处主任和驻华大使。那些发生在他们身上的故事，也成为中美关系长河中的“小浪花”。
出任总统的驻华联络处主任
1974年至1975年的北京街头，偶尔会看到一对外国夫妇骑着自行车“胡同游”。那是时任美国驻华联络处主任乔治·布什，即日后美国第41任总统老布什。
在一幅著名的照片中，老布什和夫人芭芭拉推着中国“永久”牌自行车，面带微笑在天安门前合影。芭芭拉曾经告诉友人，在北京骑自行车游览的日子是老布什政治生涯中感觉最轻松愉快的时候。也正因如此，老布什有了“自行车大使”的称呼。
除“自行车”，老布什在中国的另一个关键词是“烤鸭”。老布什一家都在北京爱上了烤鸭，之后每次来中国都是必点的菜肴。1995年，老布什夫妇金婚，餐桌上的主菜就是一份油汪汪的烤鸭。
另外，老布什据称是第一个参观西安兵马俑的外宾。
中国出生的驻华大使
新中国成立后的历任美国驻华大使中，有3人是在中国土地上出生并在这里度过幼年时光。他们就是恒安石、李洁明和芮效俭。
恒安石1920年出生在中国山西汾阳，幼年在山西和北京都居住过，1928年随父亲回到华盛顿。20岁时，恒安石来到中国，在辅仁大学附中任职。他曾被日军关押在山东的集中营，后越狱并加入抗日游击队，直至1949年回国。
1981年，美国政府任命恒安石为驻华大使。由于在中国生活的背景，恒安石任内与中国各界关系密切，并成功推动中美《八·一七公报》签订。
卸任后，恒安石曾出任南京大学—美国霍普金斯大学中美文化研究中心主任。
1989年，李洁明出任美国驻华大使。他1928年生于山东青岛，是美孚石油公司驻华职员的儿子。李洁明曾是老布什的属下，任驻华联络处随员，是美国政界有名的“中国通”。
芮效俭1935年出生在南京，他的父亲曾是金陵大学的“外教”。芮效俭1978年被派往驻华联络处担任副主任，任内对推动中美关系建交发挥重要作用。他1991年替换李洁明出任驻华大使，是美国外交界最重要的中国问题专家之一。
“最不让人羡慕”的驻华大使
1996年，克林顿政府委任田纳西州联邦参议员尚慕杰出任驻华大使。尚募杰是首名国会议员出身的驻华大使。之所以“最不让人羡慕”，是因为他任期内发生美军轰炸中国驻南斯拉夫联盟共和国大使馆事件，使得中美关系受到严重影响。
尚慕杰身为驻华大使的最后一项工作，就是接待时任总统比尔·克林顿派到中国来解释“炸馆”事件、以副国务卿托马斯·皮克林为首的代表团。作为美国常驻中国外交人员，尚慕杰当时多次公开表态，理解中国民众的愤怒。
