Orator: Ye Planet, President of the French European-Chinese Historical Society

Zhou Enlai spent more than two years in a small hotel at No. 15, Rue de Gaufrois, near Place d'Italie in the 13th arrondissement of Paris in the 1920s, reading books, writing articles and doing social research. During this period, drinking coffee in cafes became an important means for Zhou Enlai to understand society and develop social relations.

"Flower God" cafe, is one of the three famous cafes in Paris, opened in 1865, it is famous for receiving cultural and artistic circles, has been more than 100 years of history. Picasso, Sartre, Breton and the politician Trotsky all drank coffee there.

In the 1920s, young Zhou Enlai often went to the "Flower God" cafe near his small hotel to drink coffee and write articles. Pascal, the waiter in the shop, was cheerful and sympathetic to those hot-blooded poor scholars, and liked to associate with them.

Zhou Enlai, a young Chinese man, also became his friend. He admired this black-haired and yellow-skinned young man. In search of truth, he left his hometown and came to France. For a time, Zhou Enlai was short of money. Pascal always borrowed money to help him. Zhou Enlai never forgot Pascal's friendship and help to him.

After Zhou Enlai became prime minister, he did not forget this old friend in his daily affairs. He sent Chinese cigarettes and tea to Pascal many times, and Pascal always shared them with his colleagues. To this day, many people in the Flower God Cafe know that China has a very emotional Prime Minister. Pascal is now dead, but the "Flower God" cafe still circulates stories of his association with the Chinese premier. The "Flower God" cafe is now part of the Paris Cultural Heritage Protection Unit. Zhou Enlai's name is clearly left on the shield-shaped metal plate protected by cultural relics.

In addition to the "Flower God" cafe, Zhou Enlai also went to a cafe near Paris East Railway Station for coffee.
