柬埔寨王国前国王诺罗敦·西哈努克,曾经是中国老百姓最熟悉的外国元首。在二十世纪六七十年代,中国数量不多的媒体,首先是报纸,其次是广播,第三是新闻纪录片,最后是电视,最频繁出现的外国元首,就是西哈努克亲王,虽然绝大部分中国人并不了解柬埔寨的历史和当时的情势。毛泽东、周恩来、邓小平、江泽民这些领导人都和西哈努克有密切的交往。事实上,北京是西哈努克的第二个常居之地,他在平壤也有住所,不过只是偶尔前往小住。 Norodom Sihanouk, the former king of the Kingdom of Cambodia, was once the most familiar foreign head of the Chinese people. In the 1960s and 1970s, a small number of China’s media were newspapers, followed by radio broadcasts, third documentaries and finally television. The most frequent foreign leader was Prince Sihanouk, Most Chinese do not understand the history of Cambodia and the situation at the time. The leaders Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin all have close contacts with Sihanoukville. In fact, Beijing is the second home to Sihanoukville, and he also has his home in Pyongyang, but only occasionally goes to stay.
