Liu Shunyuan (Chinese: 刘顺元; 1903 – February 14, 1996), born Wang Xuebo (Chinese: 王学博), courtesy name Puquan (Chinese: 浦泉), was a Chinese Communist revolutionary and politician. He served in numerous senior Party positions before and after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, including Acting First Secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee and Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was also among the early Communist organizers in Boxing County, Shandong Province.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Liu Shunyuan was born in 1903 in Boxing County, Shandong Province. He studied in the English Department of Beijing Normal University beginning in 1924 and graduated in 1928. After graduation, he returned to his hometown and later taught at the No. 1 Girls' Middle School in Jinan.[2]

In 1931, while serving within local structures of the Kuomintang, Liu became disillusioned with the Nationalist government's suppression of Communists. His application to join the Chinese Communist Party was personally approved by Zhou Enlai, then head of the Party's Organization Department. After returning to Boxing County in June 1931, he secretly organized Communist activities and recruited early Party members, contributing significantly to the development of the Communist movement in the region.[3]

Before the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Liu held several underground Party positions, including secretary of a special Party branch in Jining, member of the CPC Boxing County Committee, inspector for the Shanghai West District Committee of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, and secretary of the Southern Shaanxi Special Committee. During this period, he was arrested and imprisoned multiple times by Nationalist authorities but reportedly refused to cooperate despite torture and political pressure.[4]

During the anti-Japanese war, Liu served as Organization Department head and later secretary of the CPC Anhui Working Committee. He subsequently became secretary of the Suwan Provincial Committee and held leading positions in Communist-controlled areas in Huainan, including secretary of Party committees on both sides of the Tianjin–Pukou Railway.[5] He also served as deputy secretary of the Huainan Regional Committee, political commissar of the East Jinpu Joint Defense Command of the New Fourth Army, and chairman of a regional consultative assembly.[6]

During the Chinese Civil War, Liu served as deputy secretary of the CPC Liaoning Provincial Committee and second secretary of the Lüda Prefectural Committee. While working in the northeast, he came into conflict with certain practices of Soviet military authorities stationed in the region, opposing what he viewed as excessive interference and misconduct.[7] As a result of political tensions connected to these disputes, he was later transferred away from the northeast.[8]

In 1948, Liu became head of publicity for the East China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee. In September of that year, after the Communist capture of Jinan during the Jinan campaign, he was appointed Party Secretary of Jinan Special Municipality and Political Commissar of the Jinan Garrison Command.[9] In July 1949, Liu Shaoqi secretly visited the Soviet Union to prepare for Mao Zedong's forthcoming talks with Joseph Stalin. During the discussions, Stalin specifically mentioned Liu Shunyuan, stating that he did not wish to see cadres such as Liu involved in future Sino–Soviet cooperation.[10][11] However, in 1949 he was removed from his municipal leadership position amid political accusations associated with the Lüda incident and the influence of Kang Sheng.[12][13]

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Liu held several senior leadership positions in Jiangsu Province, including Deputy Secretary, Secretariat Secretary, Executive Secretary, and Acting First Secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee. He was also a member of the East China Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.[14][15]

During the Cultural Revolution, Liu was persecuted politically and reportedly refused to provide false testimony against other veteran cadres. Following his political rehabilitation, he served as a Standing Committee member of the 5th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[16] In 1978, he was elected Deputy Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. In 1982, he retired from active leadership and became a member of the Central Advisory Commission of the Chinese Communist Party.[17]

Liu Shunyuan died in Nanjing on February 14, 1996, at the age of 93.[18]

Personal life

[edit]

Liu's wife, Bao Yousun [zh], was also a Communist revolutionary and educator. She later served in various industrial and educational leadership roles in Shanghai and Jiangsu Province.[19]
