King Lie of Zhou, ch.: 周烈王, pinyin: zhōu lìe wáng, wg: King Lieh of Chou, was the thirty-third sovereign of the Chinese Zhou Dynasty and the twenty-first of Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The queen's son Ji Yijiu was proclaimed the new king by the nobles from the states of Zheng, Lü, Qin and the Marquess of Shen.

She successfully convinced King Zhouyou to banish the Empress and her son, Ji Yijiu (the current crown prince), to the Shen Kingdom, which was ruled by the Empress' father.
A founder of the Chinese Communist party, Zhou En Lai was born in 1898 and studied in China, Japan, France and Germany.
