More facts:
It was said that Zhou was so skilled in surviving in changing environments because of his past. As a child, he never had a stable life. He lived with different uncles and aunts while his parents were unable to take care or him. He had to learn how to please and prove his own worth to different people, and this left him with skills that helped him through his political and diplomatic careers. Zhou was also studying in France when he became a communist, and was the leader of the European Branch of the CCP. He, like Deng, escaped the GMD to join He CCP underground. Because of his socialising skills, Zhou was he main contact person between the GMD and CCP during the second United Front. He was appointed by Chiang Kaishek to a high position in the GMD government. His dipomatic talents and mild manners won sympathy and respect for himself and his Party from the Westerners. After the founding of the People's Republic, Zhou became premier and foreign minister for a short while. In domestic politics, Zhiu usually emerged on the winning side. The keys to his political survival lay in flexibility and pragmatism, as well as his lack of personal ambition for supreme leadership.
