Film about Zhou Enlai's childhood set to open
China DailyPoster of Zhou En Lai in His Childhood, which will open on June 1. Zhou Enlai -- the first premier of the People's Republic of China -- has been featured many times in Chinese movies and TV series, but there are few works touching on his childhood. Zhou Enlai in His Childhood, an upcoming biographical tale set to open on June 1, will fill some of those narrative gaps. With Zhou Bingde - Zhou Enlai's niece - as a consultant, the film is the first red-themed work to revisit the premier's early period, from birth to his time as a 12-year-old in Huai'an, East China's Jiangsu province. Aside from Zhou, the film also depicts three women who had great influence upon him: His birth mother, Wan Dong'er; his foster mother surnamed Chen and Zhou's babysitter, surnamed Jiang.
