About this audio guide
This guide to Zhou Enlai's former residence in Shanghai follows the Communist Party delegation that rented this French Concession villa in 1946 under Zhou's own name, holding public press conferences downstairs while a radio upstairs sent coded messages north, all under the eye of a watcher stationed across the street. It traces the peace talks the delegation was here to conduct with the Nationalist government, and a night in February 1947 when official Dong Biwu gathered the staff in this house for a final warning. Stand in the front room where Zhou once faced more than a hundred journalists at a time.
