Website launched to commemorate late Premier Zhou Enlai

BEIJING -- A website was launched on Friday to commemorate late Premier Zhou Enlai, born in 1898, in the lead-up to the 120th anniversary of his birth.

The website, zhouenlai.people.cn, featured a 366-day countdown to the anniversary, an introduction to his life, and poems, calligraphy and paintings that pay tribute to Zhou, as well as Zhou's family letters and links to memorial halls dedicated to him in China and abroad.

Visitors can offer virtual "flowers" and pay homage to Zhou online as well as post messages to the website.
