Zhou enlai

You are approaching seventeen rue Godefroy, a site that remains a modest but pivotal landmark in twentieth-century history. From nineteen twenty-two to nineteen twenty-four, this building housed a hotel where Zhou Enlai, the future premier of the People's Republic of China, lived while he was a student in France. The room he occupied was remarkably small, barely containing an iron bed and a simple desk, yet it served as the headquarters for intense political activity.
