EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Chou en-Lai, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mao in 1970s China. The image, taken by Chinese photographer Leonard de Selva, showcases Chou's commanding presence and stoic expression. Chou en-Lai was a key political figure during the era of Mao Zedong's rule in China.

This portrait reflects his strong leadership qualities as well as his commitment to communism. The photo exudes an air of mystery, inviting viewers to delve into the complexities of Chou's character. His piercing gaze seems to hold countless untold stories within it. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both his power and vulnerability.
