Li Dazhao skillfully changed his name to Lian.

An American journalist found an American Parker pen on Premier Zhou's desk when interviewing him. The reporter asked in a somewhat ironic tone: "Excuse me, Prime Minister, why do you China people use our pens made in the United States?" Premier Zhou said humorously: "This pen is a long story. This is an anti-American souvenir from a North Korean friend. I refuse to accept worthless rewards. Korean friends said, as a souvenir. I thought it was very meaningful, so I left this pen in your country. " Hearing this, the American reporter suddenly became speechless.

When the American delegation visited China, an official once said in front of Premier Zhou: "China people like to walk with their heads down, while we Americans always walk with our heads held high." When this language came out, it surprised everyone. Premier Zhou took his time and said with a smile, "This is not surprising. Because we in China like to go uphill, and you Americans like to go downhill. "
