Li Rui (李锐, born 1917) is a retired politician of the People's Republic of China from the ruling Communist Party and latterly a writer and vocal advocate of democratic reform in China.〔(Fifty Influential Public Intellectuals - The Propaganda Department's List of Six ), ed by Nicolai Volland, Institut Fur Sinologie〕 ==Early career== Li was an early and enthusiastic member of the Party, having trekked to the Communist base at Yan'an in the late 1930s. Within a few years he first suffered revolutionary persecution there.〔(Intergenerational and family stories ). Morning Sun〕 In the mid-1950s, Li was briefly one of Mao Zedong's secretaries, giving him access to the inner circle of China’s ruling elite, but his criticisms of the Great Leap Forward, and support for Peng Dehuai, led to his denunciation and exile. He later declared that Mao was dismissive of the suffering and death caused by his policies: "Mao's way of thinking and governing was terrifying. He put no value on human life. The deaths of others meant nothing to him."〔〔Jonathan Watts. ''(China must confront dark past, says Mao confidant )'' The Guardian, June 2, 2005〕 Li helped to negotiate the establishment of Joint Factory 718, set up in Dashanzi in cooperation with East Germany as an extension of the "Socialist Unification Plan" of military-industrial cooperation between the Soviet Union and the young Chinese communist state. From 1957 he was its inaugural director. Li was then denounced as an anti-Party element and spent 20 years in prison, emerging in 1979 and three years later being elected to the Central Committee, then, in 1983, going on to be vice director of the Organisation Department of the Communist Party. He was a vice minister of the Ministry of Water Conservation, and later that, at the time of its planning, he was opposed to the Yangtze Three Gorges Project.〔(Li Rui, Former Secretary of Chairman Mao, and Maj. Gen. Chang Zhonglian Reflect on Zhao Ziyang ), Epoch Times, Jan 28, 2005, trans from Chinese ()〕 Li continued to oppose construction of the dam after the 1989 Tiananmen massacre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Li Rui (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
