Lin Biao (or Lin Piao) (1908–1971)

Chinese communist soldier and politician, deputy leader of the Chinese Communist Party 1969–71. He joined the communists in 1927, became a commander of Mao Zedong's Red Army, and led the Northeast People's Liberation Army after 1945 during the Chinese revolution (1927–49). He became defence minister in 1959, and as vice chair of the party from 1969 he was expected to be Mao's successor.
