Have very high respect for Premier Zhou En Lai. Educated in Japan, he was a very patriotic Chinese , loyal to Chairman Mao. Instead of migrating overseas for a better lifestyle, he stayed behind to fight for his country’sfreedom from foreigner invasions. Yes there were turbulent times in China but he did not betray Mao but endured the challenges and brought China out of the mess. Without Mao and premier Zhou, China’s political structure may not survive till this date. Without the revolution, China’s class system like the Indian caste system will stymie China’s progress.
First enjoyed the lecture! Definitely 👍🏾 will secure this book. I’ve always wanted to read more on Z. Enlai. Second, solid comments by panelist. Lastly, really wished folks on the panel and audience knew how to ask more concise questions.
Chinese revolution took place in 1911. In 1949 is known as Liberation. I think this deliberate miss- categorization is at best not understanding Chinese history and culture, at worst syndical misrepresentation. Both Mao and Zhou Enlai knew what they wanted for China. Had it not been so, China would not have been ready for the Deng Xiao ping to begin the development and rise of China as we see today.
Wrong to antagonise Mao & Zhou, by reading “论十大关系”，毛选5卷，now banned after Deng, for Mao's criticizing him, for what followed/happened in 8964， 满地鸡毛。 Also read 周恩来1975的政府工作报告，提及四个现代化， Mao was still Top 1., not possible without his endorsement, his own contemplation from the people, by the people & for the people, instead of stratification of PRC esp in Shanghai.
A tyrant who doesn't believe in the true God as experienced, witnessed and explained by every prophets will deify himself , and will think and behave for his worldly interest , like an animal, even morse.

clearly, you didnt read this book.
“大江歌罢掉头东，邃密群科济世穷。面壁十年图破壁，难酬蹈海亦英雄。”
I agree with you absolutely.
@@hongqi5734 Premier Zhou is Menfucius, to CM's above Confucius,& Laozi, above ALL Saints.看他老人家的《贺新郎～咏史》”铜铁炉中翻火焰“那首，高度概括人类文明发展史， 千古绝唱。
An absolutely brilliant talk and discussion on Zhou En-Lai by the Professor and the panelists.. 👍
Spoke alot about times of Zhou without really saying much about the man. Maybe a teaser to sell his book.
Interesting book. Kissinger being very impressed by Enlai unsurprising. Mao a true enigma. Could he have been that insecure?
Good discussion.
Zhou was a giant in his time. Had Zhou been a Caucasian, the world would have known him then.

All Chinese working in Western Academic Institutions have a colonial mindset.

Professor Chen uses "CCP" throughout the book.
