After this trip,Ho Chi Minh grew steadily weaker,although he still showed flashes of his early vitality.During an official visit by the Chinese Party Tao Zhu to Hanoi a few months later,Ho suddenly requested that his old friend provided him with a young woman from the Chinese province of Guangdong to serve as his companion.When Tao asked why
Ho did not seek someone to serve his needs in the Democratic Republic Vietnam,his host said simply,"everyone calls me UNCLE HO." On his return to China, Tao Zhu reported the request to Zhou Enlai ; because of the delicate relationship between the two parties, Zhou decided to consult with North Vietnamese leaders.Eventually the matter was quietly dropped.
