Abstract
Zhou Enlai left Tokyo for a homecoming visit on July 28, 1918. He recorded on July 29: “Since I got on a train yesterday afternoon, this trip has been very smooth. Arrived in Shimonoseki in the evening, immediately got on a ferry, and crossed the sea. The wind was calm and the waves were quiet. The moon was shining in the sky. Nothing was unpleasant.” On July 30: “The ferry arrived at Pusan at 9:00 AM. Got on the Korean train at Pusan at 10:00 AM and arrived at Seoul in the evening. Sent several letters to friends in Tokyo. I am not sure where the train is running because I am on the train at night.”1
