(1) One of the founders of China, he condensed the elite of the Chinese nation, was the core leading member for half a century, and was the leader of the Tianjin student movement during the May 4th Movement. Later, he participated in the establishment of the European Organization, one of the eight initiating groups in China, and was one of its main leaders. Although this European Party organization is an overseas branch, it has trained two generations of core leaders of China, namely Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping. Zhou Enlai has been active in the forefront of China's political arena since he returned to the motherland from 1924. 1927 In the late period of the Great Revolution, he was elected as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee at the First Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and attended the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. From then on, he entered the core leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China until his death, which lasted for half a century.
(2) One of the main founders of the China People's Liberation Army who fought for the liberation of the Chinese nation.
Zhou Enlai was one of the first people in China who realized the importance of armed struggle and engaged in military work. At the beginning of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, he was responsible for guiding rural guerrilla warfare in various regions and the struggle to establish rural revolutionary base areas. In the Central Soviet Area, he participated in the main leadership work of the Central Red Army. After Zunyi Conference, the Long March led and commanded by Mao Zedong realized a strategic shift, which also reflected Zhou Enlai's hard work in applying the art of military command. Since then, he helped Mao Zedong strategize, participated in the formulation of some major strategic decisions and campaign plans in previous wars, and contributed outstanding military talents to the victory of China's revolutionary war. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea after the founding of New China, he participated in the decision-making and organized its implementation. He made great efforts for the revolutionization, regularization and modernization of China People's Liberation Army. Some old comrades say that Zhou Enlai is the "deputy commander" of the China People's Liberation Army, which is not unreasonable.
(3) One of the main reasons for the Party's long-term underground work and unarmed struggle in areas under reactionary rule
Zhou Enlai not only participated in and led the armed struggle on the military front, but also was the main leader of the underground struggle in the reactionary areas and the hidden front of the Party. In the early stage of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, he directly led the establishment of a security, confidentiality and intelligence work system, which played a special and great role in safeguarding the security of the CPC Central Committee and party organizations at all levels, protecting the party's backbone and rescuing arrested comrades, grasping the enemy's situation in time and guiding the struggle against the enemy. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he was in charge of all aspects of the Party's work in Kuomintang areas. During the national war of liberation, he also led the party to carry out the struggle on the second front in Chiang Kai-shek area. In the long-term white area, hidden front and underground struggle of China Revolution, Zhou Enlai showed extraordinary talents and made outstanding contributions.
(4) Prime Minister of the Republic who painstakingly explored the socialist road suitable for China.
Zhou Enlai is one of the few * * people in the Party who are "both civil and military" and "going out into the phase". After the founding of New China, he served as Prime Minister for 26 years. Although he is regarded as the unparalleled head of government in the world, he has suffered. In the first eight years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the recovery and development of the national economy were relatively healthy, and Premier Zhou Enlai's internal affairs and diplomacy were also relatively smooth. China's socialist construction presents a new atmosphere of upward development.
(5) * * * Who has participated in the party's United front work for the longest time and made the greatest contribution.
In his early years, when Zhou Enlai was the head of the branch in Europe, he helped the representatives sent by Sun Yat-sen to establish a national party branch in Europe and began a long-term United front struggle. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he was the main head of the CPC delegation in the Kuomintang-controlled area of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and adhered to the principle of unity and struggle. He not only maintained the anti-Japanese relations of cooperation with the Kuomintang, but also made friends from all walks of life, deeply publicized the party's ideas and expanded the United front team. In the late period of the Liberation War, after the founding of New China, Zhou Enlai was the CPPCC.
(6) A diplomatic founder with China characteristics who adheres to the principle of independence and has the demeanor of a great country.
He has always adhered to an independent foreign policy, attached importance to people's diplomacy, advocated international economic cooperation of equality and mutual benefit, and advocated the establishment of a new type of state relations based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
(7) The Cultural Revolution was the mainstay to turn the tide and fight the crisis.
The "Cultural Revolution" is called "unprecedented" and its destructiveness is unprecedented in the contemporary history of the Chinese nation. I think he saved the world from falling apart, saved the collapse of the national economy, saved the split between the party and the country, and played an unparalleled role in "neutralization". He devoted all his energy to the struggle with the party and the people to control the "Cultural Revolution" and left his loved ones prematurely.
(VIII) Made important preparations for cadres and thoughts for the second great revolution in China.
During the "Cultural Revolution", Zhou Enlai protected a large number of senior party, government and army cadres, well-known Democrats and intellectuals in various ways. Chen Yun said that he protected people like us. Without Zhou Enlai's efforts, Deng Xiaoping's comeback and being entrusted with a heavy responsibility is unimaginable. He criticized the struggle of ultra-left ideological trend in the early 1970s, which also laid a certain ideological foundation for denying the "Cultural Revolution" and preparing for the second revolution.
