from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zhang Bojun ( Chinese  章伯鈞 , Pinyin Zhāng Bójūn ; born November 17, 1895 , † May 17, 1969 ) was a Chinese politician and intellectual.

Life

Zhang studied philosophy in Germany from 1922 to 1926 and joined the Chinese Communist Party after becoming close friends with Zhu De . He left the Chinese Communist Party in 1927 and, together with others, founded two parties that are still permitted parties in China today. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, he was the dean of a teacher training college in Anhui Province and later an English professor at Sun Yat-sen University (Guangdong) .

From 1954 to 1959 he was Vice Chairman of the Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese People and Minister of the Ministry of Transport. He was one of the intellectuals who voiced criticism of government policy during the Hundred Flower Movement . Zhang was dismissed from his post and sentenced as a right deviator in the anti-rightist movement that ended the Hundred Flower Movement. He is one of the most prominent victims of this anti-right movement, during which more than 400,000 people were persecuted in China and disappeared in labor camps and prisons. Zhang Bojun, like other high-ranking politicians, was one of the people who were pardoned two years later. Its 10,000 volume library was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution .

His daughter is the Chinese writer Zhang Yihe .
