Historical evolution

Zhou Enlai left his hometown at the age of 12. In the 66 years since his death, Zhou Enlai never came back. He repeatedly asked the responsible comrades of the county Party committee to dispose of their former residence.

In 1973, Zhou Enlai asked Comrade Wu Qingtong, director of the duty room of the State Council, to call Huai'an county Party committee and formally convey Zhou Enlai's three instructions on dealing with the old house: 1. No one is allowed to visit; 2. No mobilization of residents living in it is allowed to move; 3. No maintenance is allowed when the house is broken.

On January 8, 1976, after the death of Comrade Zhou Enlai, the Huai'an county Party committee, in accordance with the requirements of hundreds of millions of people, began to renovate Zhou Enlai's former residence, restoring it to its original appearance when Zhou Enlai left Huai'an in 1910.

On December 11, 1984, Deng Xiaoping inscribed the plaque of "former residence of Comrade Zhou Enlai".

In 2002, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Deng Yingchao's death, a new "Deng Yingchao Memorial Garden" was built on the north side of Zhou Enlai's former residence. The plaque was inscribed by Li Ruihuan, former chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.
