** Peng Dehuai, Chinese leader ( b. 1898 )

At the conference, Marshal Peng Dehuai, the Minister of Defence, criticized Great-Leap policies in a private letter to Mao, writing that it was plagued by mismanagement and cautioning against elevating political dogma over the laws of economics.

Yao boldly alleged that Hai Rui was really an allegory attacking Mao ; that is, Mao was the corrupt emperor and Peng Dehuai was the honest civil servant.

Later, Peng Dehuai was brought to Beijing to be publicly ridiculed.

Liu Bocheng, Lin Biao and Peng Dehuai all criticized Mao's tactics at the October 1932 Ningdu Conference.

* Peng Dehuai

Liu Bocheng, Lin Biao and Peng Dehuai all criticized Mao's tactics at the August 1932 Ningdu Conference.

Known as the Resist America, Aid Korea Campaign in China, the first major offensive of the Chinese forces was pushed back in October, but by Christmas 1950, the " People's Volunteer Army " under the command of Gen. Peng Dehuai had forced the United Nations to retreat back to the 38th Parallel.

One of the loudest opponents of the GLF was Defense Minister Peng Dehuai.

Few were as vocal as Peng Dehuai had been, but the general consensus was that the chairman's grand experiment had failed completely.

This play featured a wise official ( Peng Dehuai ) who was removed from office by a foolish emperor ( Mao ).

Assisting the chairman in this campaign was Lin Biao, who had succeeded Peng Dehuai as defense minister in 1960.

According to some accounts, Marshal Peng Dehuai — the overall commander of the Chinese forces in Korea — is said to have invented this tactic.

Former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji is also Hunanese, as are the late President Liu Shaoqi and the late Marshal Peng Dehuai.

The meeting condemned General Peng Dehuai, who had criticised the Great Leap Forward.

Peng Dehuai () ( October 24, 1898 – November 29, 1974 ) was a prominent Chinese Communist military leader, and China's Defense Minister, from 1954 to 1959.

Peng successfully gained admission in August 1922, using the personal name " Dehuai " for the first time.

Peng Dehuai commanded the largest communist offensive in the war against Japan.

Peng Dehuai signed the armistice agreement in 1953, ending the Korean War.

In 1980 the Intermediate Court of Justice in Wuhan sentenced Wang Dabin, the Red Guard who had directed Peng's arrest in 1966, to nine years in prison for " the persecution and torture of Comrade Peng Dehuai ".

Zhao Ziyang later wrote in his autobiography that, although Deng had stated many of these sentiments in a private conversation with Li Peng shortly before the editorial was written, Li had these comments disseminated to Party members and published as the editorial without Deng's knowledge or consent.

In 2010, Li's autobiographical book, The Critical Moment – Li Peng Diaries, was published by New Century Press.

* " Li Peng, the ' Butcher of Tiananmen ,' was ' Ready to Die ' to Stop the Student Turmoil ".

Peng was replaced by Lin Biao, another revolutionary army general who became a more staunch Mao supporter later in his career.

Peng, a powerful official and Wu Han's direct superior, was the head of the " Five Man Group ", a committee commissioned by Mao to study the potential for a cultural revolution.

" The party leadership was relatively united in approving the general direction of Mao's agenda, but the charges against esteemed party leaders like Peng Zhen rang alarm bells in China's intellectual community and among the eight non-Communist parties.

He was jailed by the Kuomintang government for more than five years ( from 1972 and 1976, and again from 1981 to 1982 ) after helping a pro-Taiwan independence political prisoner, Peng Ming-min, escape to Japan in 1963.

After his training, Hu worked in the political department, and was assigned to work as a member of Peng Dehuai's Third Front Army.

Peng was a believer in orthodox Soviet-style economic planning and totally against experimentations.

While taking a trip through the countryside, Peng was horrified at the wreckage of the Great Leap Forward.

Peng then lived retired in disgrace for the next several years until he was arrested and beaten by Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.

After Mao's death, Peng was posthumously rehabilitated with full honors.

In the Hundred Flowers Campaign, the example of Chen in collaborating with Wang Jingwei's Wuhan government, leading to the ostracism of his peers and the failure of Communist policies at the time, was used by Peng Zhen as a warning never to " forgive " anti-Maoists.

As the protests escalated and then Party-chief Zhao Ziyang was removed from office, Jiang was selected by the Party leaders as a compromise candidate over Tianjin's Li Ruihuan, Premier Li Peng, Li Xiannian, Chen Yun, and the retired elders to become the new General Secretary.

Mao brought up an ultimatum, stating that, if the delegates of the conference sided with Peng, Mao would split the Communist Party, retreating into the countryside and leading the peasants to " overthrow the government ".

Peng Yue was brought to Luoyang, where he was subsequently executed on false charges of treason.

Han Xin and Peng Yue brought their armies to meet Liu Bang in late 203 BC, and Han suggested using a strategy of " ambush on ten sides " ( 十面埋伏 ) to weaken Xiang Yu's forces before making a final assault.
