Song Ping (Chinese: 宋平; born 24 April 1917)[1] is a Chinese Communist revolutionary and a retired high-ranking politician. He was a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Song is considered the only living member of the Second Generation of Chinese Leadership.
He rose through the ranks of the party to become First Party Secretary of Gansu Province, and later Minister of Organization of CCP. Song was in charge of senior cadres' recommendation, candidacy and promotion.[citation needed]
During his time as Party Chief of Gansu, Song Ping became mentor of two young protégés - Hu Jintao[2] and Wen Jiabao[citation needed] – who were to become the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and the Premier of the Chinese State Council, respectively.[3]
In 1987, Song left the Planning Commission to replace Wei Jianxing as head of the CCP Central Organization Department.[4] Song announced a decision by the Chinese Communist Party to expel members of the communist party who were sympathetic to pro-democracy demonstrations in the spring of 1989.[5] After the Tiananmen Square protests, Song became a member of Politburo Standing Committee with Jiang Zemin and Li Ruihuan.
As a member of more conservative faction within the party, Song stepped down as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee along with another conservative faction member Yao Yilin on 19 October 1992 after 14th Party Congress as a result of Deng Xiaoping's action to put more reformists into PSC.[6]
Song turned 100 in 24 April 2017.[7] Considered instrumental in the rise of former CCP general secretary Hu Jintao, he lately attended the 20th Party Congress at age 105.[8]
