It is not the quality of Communists to be afraid of difficulties and be at ease," he said In the process of establishing revolutionary ideals and beliefs, he had both a strong desire to pursue truth and thoughtful rational thinking; It not only pays attention to the study and research of scientific theory, but also pays attention to the application and development of scientific theory in practice; We should not only pay attention to the advanced theory of Marx doctrine, but also absorb the essence of Chinese culture. His revolutionary ideal and belief are based on rational consciousness and are as solid as rocks. With his own practical actions, he put into practice the oath of "in any difficult and difficult situation, we should fight for communism in the spirit of dying to the end".

Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model who never forgets his original heart and adheres to his faith. When establishing the belief in communism, Comrade Zhou Enlai said: "I think Communism must remain unchanged, and I am very determined to publicize it for him." He also said: "in any difficult situation, we must fight to the end for communism in the spirit of dying." Comrade Zhou Enlai followed his oath all his life. No matter how weak the revolutionary force is, how cruel the white terror is, how fierce the struggle against the enemy is, how complex the political situation is, how severe the challenges facing the cause of the party and the state are, how arduous the responsibility is, and how difficult the personal situation is, he always maintains firm ideals and beliefs and vigorous revolutionary spirit. As he said in his self anatomy, "I never lose heart in my work." Comrade Zhou Enlai has always been full of confidence in the development of the cause of the party and the people, the bright future of socialist China and the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. In his heart, the original intention of the Chinese Communists and the belief in communism are as firm as a rock.
Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model of loyalty to the party and safeguarding the overall situation. Comrade Zhou Enlai has made great contributions to the party and the people, but he never cares about his personal status, gains and losses, can correctly handle the relationship between individuals and organizations at any time, has always been absolutely loyal to the party, and takes the maintenance and consolidation of inner-party unity and the overall political situation of the party as his code of conduct. Comrade Zhou Enlai has always adhered to the party's absolute leadership over all work. In order to be vigilant and "oppose treating the regions and departments under their leadership as an independent kingdom and putting individuals above organizations", Comrade Zhou Enlai stressed when he served as the main leader of the Red Army in the war years that "the party's leading role should be absolutely improved. The Red Army can only have Party leadership, and the party should use the principle of centralized guidance to establish authority". When he was in charge of government work during the period of socialist construction, Comrade Zhou Enlai proposed that "the Party group work of various departments" and "the system of requesting instructions and reporting to the Party Central Committee" must be strengthened. Comrade Zhou Enlai always consciously safeguarded the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, consciously safeguarded Comrade Mao Zedong's leadership position, and resolutely opposed and resisted words and actions detrimental to the party's unity and the authority of the Party Central Committee. Comrade Zhou Enlai opposes any factional ideology, small group habits, localism, hilltops and departmentalism. He never engages in small circles and groups, and requires party members and leading cadres to pass the political pass first under any conditions.
Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model who loves the people and works hard for the people. Comrade Zhou Enlai said a very vivid sentence: "don't forget the mountain when you go down the mountain, don't forget the countryside when you go to the city", "if you forget, you forget your roots." What Comrade Zhou Enlai said is the people. He said: "we come from the people. Our past victories were achieved with the support of the people. We must not forget our roots." "If we are divorced from the masses of our basic class, we will lose the foundation of the party." Comrade Zhou Enlai regarded himself as the "chief waiter" of the people, insisted that the interests of the people were above all else, cared about the people, maintained a high degree of love for the people, worried about the anxieties of the people and the worries of the people. As long as it is related to the safety and well-being of the masses, he is always considerate and considerate, and has achieved the same joys and sorrows, shared destiny, shared sorrow and happiness, and worked together with the people. Comrade Zhou Enlai attaches great importance to investigation and research, and often goes deep into the masses and front-line investigation and research. He said: "investigation and research should be practical and realistic, and we can't mess with it." "To understand the real situation, we must treat the people equally." With his practical actions, Comrade Zhou Enlai set a glorious example for the whole party to serve the people wholeheartedly. "The people's premier loves the people, the people's premier loves the people", and the people expressed their most sincere feelings for Comrade Zhou Enlai in simple language.
Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model of self revolution and eternal struggle. Comrade Zhou Enlai has held important leadership positions of the party and the state for a long time, but he has always been open-minded, modest and cautious, not arrogant and impetuous. His motto for himself is "it is never too old to live, learn and transform". Comrade Zhou Enlai regarded ideological transformation as air, and there must be something. He often said: "since joining the Communist Party, every Party member should have such an understanding: be ready to transform his thinking and transform until he is old." "A Communist is not a good Communist if he thinks he has completed his transformation and doesn't need to transform anymore." "The prestige of leaders is improved not by covering up their mistakes, but by correcting them; it is cultivated not by boasting, but by working hard." Facing different tasks and requirements of the times, Comrade Zhou Enlai always meets new challenges with the spirit of self revolution, participates in leading and promoting the great social revolution carried out by the Communist Party of China, and makes himself always advance together with the cause of the party and the people. Throughout his life, Comrade Zhou Enlai has fulfilled these vows of self revolution and eternal struggle with his own practical actions.
Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model of courage and dedication. Comrade Zhou Enlai bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities, shouldered heavy burdens, worked hard and worked hard all his life. He said: "for the happiness of our children and grandchildren, we have to bear many difficulties for the time being." "It's not the quality of Communists to be afraid of difficulties." After the founding of new China, he usually worked more than 12 hours a day, sometimes more than 16 hours. During the "Cultural Revolution" period, it was even harder, working day and night, sometimes only two or three hours a day, even after a serious illness. Comrade Zhou Enlai said, "since I have been put on the stage of history, I have to complete the historical task." For decades, even in the last period of his life, he was still sick, worked hard on state affairs and worried about the people. I'm not afraid of death, he said. The ancients said that people live for seventy years. I am over seventy-seven years old and can be regarded as a high life. However, in the past 20 years or so, we should always build the country better and improve the people's lives. Only when we report to Marx can we feel at ease. I always feel guilty and ashamed when I report in this situation. Comrades have done their best.
Comrade Zhou Enlai is an outstanding model of self-discipline, honesty and integrity. "The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance is great; standing on a thousand feet, you are strong without desire." Comrade Zhou Enlai is such a person. Comrade Zhou Enlai was strict with himself and worked hard and plain all his life. He only wanted to contribute and didn't want to return. He warned leading cadres to live through ideological, political, social, family and life, and maintain the political integrity and fine style of the Communists. Comrade Zhou Enlai holds a high position, but he never engages in specialization. He does what party members and the masses are required to do first. At the end of June 1935, the red army arrived in Lianghekou area, and the party organization was re elected. Wei Guolu, a guard, was elected as the leader of the Party group where Comrade Zhou Enlai belonged. Once, Comrade Zhou Enlai asked Wei Guolu why he didn't hold a party group meeting for a long time. Wei Guolu replied that the Party group meeting had been held and he didn't notice when he saw that the head was busy. Comrade Zhou Enlai criticized with a serious attitude rarely seen in ordinary times. How can it be done? I am a party member and should live an organizational life. In our party, everyone is an ordinary Party member and everyone has to live an organizational life. This is a matter of party spirit. In January 1958, Comrade Zhou Enlai visited Hangzhou and took his pillow towel, cotton mattress, bed sheet and quilt with him. The quilt is the one used in Meiyuan New Village during the war of liberation. It has been washed white. The pillow towel was used again and again, and the middle was damaged. Comrade Zhou Enlai cut off the broken place and sewed the two ends again to continue to use. The comrade of Zhejiang provincial security office really couldn't stand it, so he took the opportunity of going to the meeting to get a new pillow towel from the logistics department and put it on. When Comrade Zhou Enlai came back from the meeting and found that he had changed a new pillow towel, he said sincerely to the comrades of the security office of Zhejiang province that our country is not rich yet. We should maintain the tradition of hard struggle. Even if we become rich in the future, we can't lose this glorious tradition. Comrade Zhou Enlai frankly said that China, with a population of 600-700 million, is a premier. No matter how poor it is, it will not lack those new clothes, but the problem is not whether it needs clothes. I do this not only for one person, but also to advocate thrift, not to pursue enjoyment, and to maintain the true colors of Communists who work hard. In the 1950s, in response to the call of the party, Comrade Zhou Enlai took the lead in flattening the graves of several generations of relatives in Huai'an's hometown and handing over the sorted land to the public for use. Comrade Zhou Enlai set strict demands on his relatives and established "ten family rules" for them. He never used his power to seek any personal gain for himself or his relatives and friends. Comrade Zhou Enlai earnestly taught the younger generation to deny the feudal kinship, have self-confidence and self-confidence, or rise up by relationship and be a pioneer on the road of life. In particular, he told the younger generation not to say their relationship with him on any occasion, not to carry the brand of the premier's relatives, and not to show off for personal gain. Comrade Zhou Enlai did not leave any personal property behind, and even his own ashes were not allowed to be retained. They were scattered into the rivers and seas of the motherland. "Great sages uphold high learning, and public candles are selfless." Comrade Zhou Enlai's noble personality of selflessness and serving the public throughout his life is a concentrated portrayal of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the excellent morality of the Chinese Communists, and will always be admired by future generations.
Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall was built in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, Zhou Enlai's hometown in March 1988 and opened to the outside world on January 6, 1992.

On the central axis 800 meters long from north to south of the memorial hall, there are memorial buildings such as Zhantai, main hall, exhibition hall, Zhou Enlai Bronze Statue Square and imitation Zhongnanhai West Flower hall.
The main hall of Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall is 26 meters high and is an octagonal building with four sides outside and eight corners inside. The main hall is divided into three floors, namely film and television hall, memorial hall and viewing platform. The reconstructed and expanded exhibition hall of Zhou Enlai's life and achievements is equipped with four exhibition halls, which display the pictures, relevant documents and cultural relics of Zhou Enlai in various major historical periods according to age and special topics.
To the north of the exhibition hall is the Bronze Statue Square of Zhou Enlai. The base of the bronze statue is 7.6m high. Created by Li Shouren, a famous sculptor and professor of the Central Academy of fine arts, it is based on Premier Zhou Enlai's habitual standing posture when talking with the people in the 1950s and 1960s.
At the north end of Zhou Enlai Bronze Statue Square is the West Flower Hall of Central South Sea in Beijing, which is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is designed and built in proportion to the pattern of the West Flower hall in the Central South Sea of Beijing, and is restored and displayed according to the scenes of Zhou Enlai's work and life when he was premier of the State Council. The lower floor is a temporary exhibition hall and office space.
