In June, the delegation decided to set up an office in Shanghai, so it rented the house, but the Kuomintang authorities did not allow the sign of "the office of the Chinese Communist delegation in Shanghai". On June 18, Dong Biwu, who came to Shanghai from Nanjing, decisively decided: "if you don't want to set up an office, it's called" Zhou mansion. " Up to now, the Chinese and English doorplate on the door reads "residence of general Chou Enlai".
On November 19, 1946, Zhou Enlai returned to Yan'an, and Dong Biwu was fully responsible for all the work of the "Shanghai Office of the CPC delegation".
