Features: The Bandung Conference in April 1955 was the first time the newly established People's Republic of China independently stepped onto the international stage. After the explosion of the Prime Minister's aircraft, the "Kashmir Princess," Premier Zhou Enlai still attended the conference resolutely, defying the interference of Cold War powers. With his genius, he created the spirit of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and turned the tide, making the Bandung Conference a milestone for the unity and development of newly independent nations and developing countries. This book vividly recreates Premier Zhou Enlai's wisdom and effortless courage in steering the course at the Bandung Conference, and has been hailed by critics as "a superior work that combines historical value with artistic appeal." In 2004, the film "Zhou Enlai's Journey to Bandung," adapted from the author's script, won the Wen Hua Award and the Xian Yan Excellent Screenplay Award. This book is a must-read for studying and understanding the diplomatic history of the People's Republic of China and is considered a masterpiece of documentary literature.
