Gao Gang
Gao Gang (Wades-Giles: Kao Kang) (1905-1954) was a Chinese Communist political figure.
A native of Hengshan, Shaanxi Province, he joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1926. In the mid-1930s he was in charge of a small independent Communist area at Baoan, Shanxi, where the Long March led by Mao Zedong ended. A close political ally of Mao, he later became chief Party secretary of Manchuria (1949). He also served as a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Secretary of the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Central People's Government. He was purged in 1954 and expelled from the party in 1955 on charges of conspiracy.
