Summary

In today's Part 1 episode Laszlo explores the early life of Zhou Enlai, growing up in a traditional scholar-officials family that had seen better days. Zhou gets passed from relative to relative.

We can see through his early years and into his teens how Zhou was perfectly trained and tested for the larger job that lay ahead.
