The Inspiring Life of Comrade Zhou En Lai 

By: Comrade Mark Cua 

I would like to inspire all of you about a great man who had served Our Motherland (China) and who had dedicated his life serving the CPC (Communist Party of China). Zhou En Lai is one of the founders of the PROC (People's Republic of China) and he had a big heart on the rise of the China into what is today.

He was a great Communist revolutionary, Politician, Militarists, and Foreign Minister. 

Birthplace of A Great Man 

(Where he started his Great Works)

Born in JiangSu Province China in 1898 and he had studied overseas like France and Japan. When he got back to our Motherland (China), he served in Huang Bu Military School setup by the CPC (Communist Party of China) and KMT (Kuo Min Tang).

He had the same ancestor as Lu Su. 

He made a great decision of being a Part of the Communist Movement in 1921 when it was organized by Chairman Mao. He had seen a great vision where the CPC (Communist Party of China) will be the one to make China rise from the ashes of the Ancient Dynasties. Bring it back to its glory. 

In Paris, France he also met Comrade Deng Xiao Ping there. 

IN 1924, he is one of the top Officials in Huang Bu Military School which was established by the KMT (Kuo Min Tang) and CPC (Communist Party of China). He also had been involved in the 3rd Uprising of the Workers in Shanghai. 

In 1928, After the massacre of many Communists and the treachery of Chiang Kai Shek he joined and rose up against KMT (Kuo Min Tang). Comrade He Long, Comrade Yue Ting, Comrade Zhu De, Comrade Zhang Guo Tao, and others including Comrade En Lai rose up and comprised the Armed revolution of Nan Chang. 

The Dedication for the Love of Our Motherland (China)

In the long March despite the Hardships, he didn't give up on being a Communist. Instead he became stronger and sturdier on his Communist Breathen. He and the KMT (KUo Min Tang) had a short lived cooperation of driving out the Japanese Imperial Forces. 

After World War II, the Chinese Civil War Continued and he continues to serve the Communist Party of China (CPC). 

After the establishment of PROC (People's Republic of China), he became the premier of the CPC (Communist Party of China) next to Chairman Mao. He had a vision of making Our Motherland (China) rise to its feet again which you see today. 

Why is he a great Inspiration to many especially to the Filipino Communist in the Philippines? 

In the Philippine Archipelago, He can be and he is one of the Inspirational Figure in terms of Armed Revolution. This is not only to the NDF (National Democratic Front), but also the CPP (Communist Party of the Philippines) and NPA (New People's Army). 

His dedication to the Armed Revolution and his love for our Motherland (China) cannot be compared to anyone. Despite the hardship, he still embraced the Communist Ideology and loved his breathen. He continued his work even after the establishment of Our Motherland (China). 

How I wish the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), and NPA (New People's Army) would have the same big heart and the same dedication as our Great Man Comrade Zhou En Lai.
