Ren Zhongyi

Ren Zhongyi
▪ 2006

      Chinese government official (b. September 1914, Weixian, Hebei province, China—d. Nov. 15, 2005, Guangzhou, Guangdong province, China), was one of the Communist Party of China's (CPC's) most outspoken proponents of political and economic reform. As first party secretary of Guangdong from 1980 to 1985, he was credited with ushering in reforms that led to a remarkable economic turnaround in the province. Ren was a member of the CPC from 1936. In 1961 he was appointed first party secretary of Heilongjiang province, but his service in this post was interrupted when he became a victim of the Cultural Revolution. Eventually rehabilitated, he returned briefly to his post in Heilongjiang before serving (1977–80) as first party secretary of Liaoning province. It was in Guangdong, however, that Ren became widely known as a reformer, one who pushed not only for economic liberalization but also for greater freedom of the press and the establishment of limits on the CPC's political power. He remained outspoken—and controversial—in retirement. An article he published in 2004 in the magazine Tongzhou gongjin, in which he offered criticisms of Deng Xiaoping, led to the dismissal of the publication's editor. Ren was also involved in the founding of a museum on the Cultural Revolution. The museum, which opened in Shantou in 2005, prominently displayed Ren's message that “under no circumstances must we allow the tragedy of the Cultural Revolution to be repeated.”
