I have passed a statue at least 5000 times in the last six years. In the center of my high school campus (the location is just like the George Washington statue in Red Square), the copper statue shows that Enlai Zhou goes hand in hand with a boy and a girl. Enlai Zhou was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China. In addition, he served as China's Foreign Minister from 1949 to 1958, Zhou is the founder of my high school, Hangzhou Foreign Language School, which was originally created to train students to become diplomatic officials. Unlike most Mao Zedong statues in China, which are extremely tall and large, the Zhou statue in our school is built with a 1:1 ratio. Even so, the students show a lot of respect for the Zhou statue and for Zhou. In winter, students wander around the square to play games in the snow. However, everyone is careful not to throw snow in Enlai Zhou's face. This is not only because he created the school, but he is also one of the most respected public figures among all the Chinese we know. However, there is new evidence that could have a negative impact on his public image. In this article, based on current evidence, I will evaluate whether he is the real respectable public figure or the process of heroification. Enlai Zhou maintains the most perfect image among all other Chinese politicians since the 18th century. Enlai Zhou was loyal to the people, dedicating himself to the task until the day he died. His public image fits perfectly with every Chinese expectation of Premiere, the second most powerful man in the country. Described as the most significant political partner of Chairman Mao, he was touted as a loyal minister to Chairman Mao. In elementary school, be loyal and devoted to... middle of paper... Men's publicity department can overly praise Enlai Zhou, Zhou has contributed a lot to the country and avoided other great losses. He is a classic Chinese politician who is unwilling to fight against authority but willing to dedicate talent to the country. In the textbook, it's too perfect to be true. As “the process of creating the hero” states: certain etiquette forces us all to speak in respectful tones of the past, especially when we pass on the Out Heritage to our youth. There is no doubt that students should maintain enough respect for Zhou for his contribution to China, but the description of Enlai Zhou in our textbook is too flattering. In my view, Enlai Zhou's public image carries too many expectations and burdens: the Chinese people's expectation of a premiere, Mao's perfect partner, foreign intellectual diplomacy, etc. But after all, he is a politician.
