Deaths
Hong Xuezhi
A host of senior Chinese leaders turned out on 27 November to bid a
final farewell to revolutionary hero and former general Hong Xuezhi
who was cremated at the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing. Hong
Xuezhi, who died on 20 November aged 94, was honoured as
"excellent" member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a
time-tested, loyal Communist fighter, a proletarian revolutionary and
soldier. President Hu Jintao, top legislator Wu Bangguo, Premier
Wen Jiabao, and other state and party leaders Jia Qinglin, Zeng
Qinghong and Li Changchun attended the funeral.
Hong, a native of Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, was born on 2
February 1913. Hong joined a CCP-led village-based armed force
in 1928 and the Chicheng Guerilla corps in 1929. He was admitted
to the CCP in May 1929. In December 1929, he joined the CCP-led
Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. He participated in the
Long March in the mid-1930s. During the Anti-Japanese War
(1937-45) and the Liberation War (1946-49), Hong took a series of
positions in the CCP-led armed forces. Hong was a deputy to the
commander Peng Dehuai and later the commander of the Chinese
People's Volunteers in the Korean War (1950-53). From 1954,
Hong was mainly in charge of the army's logistics arm and weapons
manufacturing, except from 1959 to 1974, when he worked in local
government in Jilin Province or was detained for political
reasons. Hong was a vice-chairman of the Seventh and Eighth
National Committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC), a former member and deputy
secretary-general of the Central Military Commission (CMC).
