Features: Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao exchanged numerous letters during their long years of shared life and united struggle for the common revolutionary ideal. Due to various reasons, only a small number have been preserved to this day, making them extremely precious. The selected letters in this collection are from 1938 to 1971, totaling seventy-four, most of which are being published publicly for the first time. The content of these letters reflects their relentless exploration of revolution and construction, their persistent pursuit of ideals and information, their fraternal care and advice as comrades, their emotional exchanges as a couple, their attention to new and old friends, and their familial affection for the younger generation. These letters are not only touching and soul-stirring but also thought-provoking and inspiring, making them an invaluable historical document for in-depth understanding, research, and study of the two great leaders.
