歡迎第 位來賓！

周恩來（1898-1976年）一生曾到香港三次，又在華南長時間生活及工作，熟悉華南及香港情況。抗日戰爭期間，周恩來是中共高層對華南及香港工作的主要決策人之一，直接領導當地的抗日鬥爭，而東江縱隊便是在周恩來指導下建立起來的。整個抗日戰爭和東江縱隊的戰鬥歷史，始終與周恩來有箸不解之緣。

Abstract： Having visited Hong Kong three times in his life and lived and worked in South China for a long time， Zhou Enlai （1898-1976） was familiar with the situations of the region. During the War of Resistance against Japan, Zhou was one of the key decision makers of the Communist Party of China on the affairs of South China and Hong Kong. He was directly in charge of the struggles against Japanese invaders in the region． It was under his direction that the East River Column was established. There was all along an in severable bond between Zhou Enlai, the War of Resistance against Japan and the fighting history of the East River Column.
