Tan Zhenlin ( Chinese 譚震林 , Pinyin Tán Zhènlín ) (* 1902, † 1983) was a political commissioner of the Chinese People's Liberation Army during the Chinese Civil War and later a politician of the Chinese Communist Party .
Tan Zhenlin was born in You (Zhuzhou) (攸县), Hunan . He joined the Communist Party in 1926 and took part in the Chinese Civil War from the late 1920s. In 1949 he became the first deputy political commissioner of the Third Army of the People's Liberation Army.
Tan Zhenlin was a member of the 8th (1956–1969), 10th (1973–1977) and 11th (1977–1982) Central Committee of the Communist Party. He served as Vice Chairman of the 4th and 5th Standing Committees of the National People's Congress (1975–1978, 1978–1983). During the time of the great leap forward , he was instrumental in pushing through the ambitious production goals. In the spring of 1958, for example, he threatened Zhou Yhiaozhou, leader of Hunan Province, to classify him as a legal deviator due to the low budget figures if he did not adjust the expected crop yield upwards.
