Comrade Xi Jinping's father, Xi Zhongxun, was the first generation leader of the Chinese Communist Revolution. He was born in 1913 AD and died in 2002 AD. He joined the YCL in 1926 and became a member of the Communist Party in 1928.

In 1932, he led an unsuccessful armed uprising in Gansu province, and in March 1933, together with another communist leader, Liu Zhidan, established a communist base area in the Sensi-Gansu border region and became the chairman of the first Soviet government formed during the Chinese Revolution. In September 1935, Liu Zhidan, Gao Gang, and Xi Zhongxun were imprisoned on charges of extreme leftism on the rectification campaign inside party and sentenced to death. Mao,s forces after completing Long March , arrived Shensi 4 days before the execution date of Xi Zhongxun and others. They were released on Mao's instructions to join the guerrilla forces.

The base area also provided reliable security and support for Mao's forces. It was the capital of the revolutionary communist government of Yenan in Sensi Province and was the headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 to 1947.

Xi Zhongxun, father of Xi Jinping, was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee of the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1945. In 1947 AD, the Communist forces of Xi Zhongxun & Zhang Zongxun in north-west China fought to win back the Sensi-Gansu base area under leadership of commander Peng Dehui. After the revolution was successful in 1949, Xi became the head of the Party Propaganda Department in September 1952 AD.

At the 8th Party Congress of 1956, he became a full central member. In 1959 AD, Xi Zhongxun became the Vice Premier. In 1962, Kang Sheng charged Xi and was removed from all leadership positions on the charge of running an anti-party group. In 1965, he was reprimanded and returned to work, but during the Cultural Revolution, he was imprisoned and kept in a labor camp for a long time. He was released from prison in May 1975 AD. In December 1978 AD, the third extended meeting of the 11th Central Committee of the Party reinstated Comrade Xi Zhongxun and sent him to the leadership of Guangdong Province.

Xi Zhongxun led the advanced development of Shenzhen, a city adjacent to Hong Kong, as a Special Economic Zone established after the modernization of the Chinese economy. It was there that 4 Special Economic Zones were established by convincing the leader Deng Xiao Ping. In 1981, Xi became the Vice President of the People's Congress of China. In 1982, Xi was elected to the Politburo and Secretariat. In 1987, Hu Yaobang the General Secretary of the Party, was opposed by Deng Xiaoping and Deng forwarded a proposal to remove Hu Yaobang from office.

Xi was only one to support Hu. In 1988, Xi Zhongxun was granted leave and spent his life in the city of Shenzhen. He passed away on 24 May 2002 AD. A mausoleum in Fuping county honors Xi Zhongxun as a "distinguished proletarian revolutionary", "a great communist warrior" and "a founding leader who established a revolutionary base in the Sensi-Gansu border region".

Heartfelt Tribute to Comrade Xi Zhongxun !
