Zhou Enlai wasn't bourgeois. He was part of the bureaucratic class which doesn't have a good analog in Western society. The closest equivalent would be some kind of government employee since the bureaucratic class traditionally served the imperial court or were otherwise part of the imperial bureaucracy. And even the bureaucratic class had tiers to it. His particular family wasn't that high up within the imperial bureaucracy.
still made for one of the greatest owns of all time.
