Character History
Zhou is first seen talking with Li Xingke in a plane hovering over the people who've gathered for the renewed Specially Administrated Zone of Japan. When Xingke coughs, he tells her not to worry, and says "I just have to last a little longer."

Zhou is seen again helping Xingke and his men launch a coup d'etat at the wedding of Empress Tianzi and Odysseus eu Britannia.

When Britannian forces arrive to aid the Eunuchs against the Black Knights, the High Eunuchs seize their chance to kill Empress Tianzi, and get a new emperor to bend to their will. Zhou is still seen watching the battle, tied up and gagged, and one of the Eunuchs' soldiers holding his gun at her.

After Zero's Knightmare Frame, Shinkiro, stops the Eunuchs from destroying the ship, Britannian forces pull out. Xingke charges in the Eunuchs' ship with the Shenhu, draws his sword, and kills them. When Zero arrives, Xingke unties Zhou, and asks about the Guren Mk. II and it's pilot, Kallen Kozuki. Zhou tells him that the Eunuchs handed her over to the Knight of Seven, Suzaku Kururugi.

Zero (Lelouch) & Li Xingke become allies after parts of the Chinese Federation revolt against the High Eunuchs. After the United Federation of Nations is formed, Zhou is appointed as Deputy Chief of the Black Knights.
