Prior to his current position, he was the political commissar of the PLA Academy of Military Science.〔(Page, Jeremy ''"Princeling" General Attracts Notice with Criticism of Party'' ). China Realtime Report, The Wall Street Journal, 23 May 2011.〕 ==Life and career== Liu Yuan was born in 1951 in Beijing, the son of Liu Shaoqi, a Marxist revolutionary and former President of China, and Wang Guangmei, a multilingual interpreter who also worked for the party.〔 His mother was over twenty years younger than his father. He graduated from the No. 2 Experimental School in Beijing in 1964, and entered a regiment on the Central Security Bureau to undergo military training during his summer vacation. In 1966, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and targeted Liu Yuan's father Liu Shoaoqi through the euphemistic "Bombard the Headquarters" big-character poster that Mao penned himself and ordered circulated all over the country. Liu Yuan, perhaps not initially realizing the 'real target' of the poster was his own father, answered Mao's call-to-arms to usher in a brave new world by joining a Red Guard regiment at the No. 4 Middle School of Beijing. In September 1967, after his father had been forcibly removed from the capital, Liu Yuan and his two sisters escaped the Zhongnanhai compound by themselves but were left homeless. They found temporary shelter at the No. 4 Middle School. The senior Liu fell into political disgrace and was later killed during the Cultural Revolution. However, he was later rehabilitated after the Cultural Revolution ended. His son was therefore allowed to participate in politics again. In 1985, Liu Yuan became the vice mayor of Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province. He was promoted to vice governor of Henan in 1988. Since 1992, he had served in People's Armed Police for years. In 2003, he became the vice political commissar in PLA's General Logistics Department, and was made lieutenant general. He was appointed as political commissar of the PLA Academy of Military Science in 2005. On 20 July 2009, Liu was promoted to general. In 2010, Liu wrote the preface to a friend's book titled ''Changing Our View of Culture and History'', which has aroused notice for criticizing recent Party leadership and calls for the rejection of foreign models and a return to a supposed upright military heritage.〔〔(''讀張木生—《改造我們的文化歷史觀》序言'' 劉源 ) (Chinese, traditional characters, PDF)〕 Some believe Liu is politically close to other "princelings", especially Xi Jinping, the current CPC General Secretary.〔 However, he has also had close ties to the disgraced "princeling" Bo Xilai, and this, coupled with Liu's outspokenness about corruption in the PLA, may have denied Liu a seat on the Central Military Commission. However, Xi Jinping is set to promote Liu to the Central Military Commission after 'accusations (by Liu) in 2012 paved the way for the corruption charges against' senior military offices General Xu Caihou and Lieutenant-General Gu Junshan, as part of his plan to tackle corruption.〔( Chinese military's ability to wage war eroded by graft, its generals warn ). Ben Blanchard and Megha Rajagopalan, Reuters, 18 Aug 2014 10:06PM.〕 Liu is a member of the 17th and the 18th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China. 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「Liu Yuan (general)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
