Feng Kexi (Chinese: 冯克熙; November 1922 – March 17, 2004) was a Chinese politician and social activist. A native of Jiang'an County, Sichuan, Feng served for many years in senior leadership positions within the China Democratic League (CDL) and held important posts in municipal government and people’s congresses in Chongqing. He was also a standing member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).[1]
Biography
Feng Kexi was born in November 1922 in Jiang'an County, Sichuan. During the War of Resistance against Japan and the Chinese Civil War, he became involved in patriotic democratic movements. In July 1944, he joined the Chinese Youth Democratic Association, and in October 1945 he became a member of the China Democratic League.[2] In the 1940s, he worked as an editor and leading writer for newspapers such as the Xin Shu Daily and the Guomin Gongbao in Chongqing, and later managed publications affiliated with the CDL.[3]
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng devoted himself to united front work, political consultation, and public administration. He successively served as a member of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the CDL and as a standing member of the CDL Central Committee across several terms.[4] At the local level, he held positions including Deputy Secretary-General of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal People’s Congress, Vice Mayor of Chongqing, and later Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal People's Congress.[5]
From the 1980s onward, Feng played a major role in both political and educational fields.[6] He served as a standing member of the 8th and 9th National Committees of the CPPCC and as Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the first Chongqing Municipal People’s Congress after Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government.[7] Within the China Democratic League, he was successively a standing committee member, Honorary Vice Chairperson of the Central Committee, and Honorary Chairperson of the Chongqing Municipal Committee.[8]
Feng Kexi died of illness in Chongqing on March 17, 2004, at the age of 82.[9]
