Lin Biao (1907 –1971) was a major Chinese Communist military
leader who was pivotal in the communist victory in the Chinese Civil War. Lin
was rewarded for his service to Mao by being named Mao's designated successor
during the Cultural Revolution, from 1966 until his death.
Lin died in September 1971 when his plane crashed in
Mongolia, following what appeared to be a failed coup to oust Mao. Because
little inside information is available to the public on what has been dubbed as
the "Lin Biao incident", the exact events preceding Lin's death have
been a source of speculation ever since. Following Lin's death, he was
officially condemned as a traitor by the Communist Party of China. He and Jiang
Qing are still considered to be the two "major Counter-revolutionary
cliques" blamed by the Communist Party for the excesses of the Cultural
Revolution.
