Description
Zhou Enlai: A Life by Jian Chen is a comprehensive biography of the first premier and preeminent diplomat of the People's Republic of China. Chen's nuanced portrait sheds light on Zhou's complex life, revealing a man who navigated the country's transformation through a series of transformations, including the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. Born in 1898, Zhou received a classical education and spent time in Japan as a teenager. He later became a key figure in the communist revolution, driven by the desire for China's development. Chen's book explores how Zhou's extraordinary political and bureaucratic skill enabled him to mitigate the damage caused by radicalism, shaping the nation whose influence and power are felt globally today. Through this biography, readers gain insight into the life of a man who protected his country against the excesses of his boss, Chairman Mao, and who played a pivotal role in China's relationship with the world.
