Six years into her role as a village head, 29-year-old Zhang Guifang has transformed her struggling home village. She has built basketball courts, cinemas, live-streamed sales of local produce, and recently held a village gala. CGTN's Xu Yanwen spoke to her about China's new generation of village heads and about daily life in rural China.

The CIA had been responsible for secretly financing a large number of “civil society” groups, such as the National Student Association and many socialist European unions, in order to counter the efforts of parallel pro-Soviet organizations. “[I]n much of Europe in the 1950’s,” wrote Braden, “socialists, people who called themselves ‘left’—the very people whom many Americans thought no better than Communists—were about the only people who gave a damn about fighting Communism.”

Song Ping (born 24 April 1917) was a veteran Chinese Communist revolutionary and retired high-ranking politician who served as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party from 1989 to 1992.

Song joined the Communist Party in 1937 at age 19. Song Ping's career spanned over seven decades, beginning in the 1930s when he joined the CCP and served as political secretary to Premier Zhou Enlai.

He held influential roles including First Party Secretary of Gansu Province and Minister of Organization of the CCP, where he played a key role in promoting future leaders such as Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao.

On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at the age of 108 in Beijing, Song passed away due to illness.

Couldn't even invite a bourgeois class-traitor.
