This is so Chou En Lai (French revolution good or not), you might be interested in this story.
He was given, almost as tribute, as was the custom, the daughter from a minister in the Thai government around (I'm guessing) 1962. She doesn't understand anything.....just that she is going to China for a holiday. She grows up in his household and they have a quite reasonable relationship. Then the cultural revolution comes along. Around this time she meets an American boy in China and he asks her to marry him. She asks her father (as she has come to think of him) saying 'I'm not sure if I love this boy'. Chou says in effect 'Don't be ridiculous. Just go.' And she does.
This must be her. I see I have the dates wrong.
