Biography

Feng Kexu was born in November 1926 in Jiang'an County, Sichuan. He pursued higher education at National Guanghua University in Chengdu and later at Chongqing Social University, where he developed a strong interest in social affairs and democratic movements.^[4]^[5]

Between 1945 and 1949, Feng worked in Chongqing as a journalist and editor for the Guomin Gongbao and subsequently served as director of the advertising department of the Minzhu Daily.^[6] During this period, in January 1946, he joined the Chinese Youth Democratic Association under the leadership of the CCP Southern Bureau, marking the beginning of his lifelong engagement in patriotic democratic activities.^[7]

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng held a series of administrative and organizational posts.^[8] From 1950 to 1956, he worked as a section chief in the Chongqing Federation of Industry and Commerce and served as secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the CDNCA.^[9] From 1956 to 1992, he successively served as secretary of the CDNCA Central Committee, deputy director of its General Office, deputy secretary-general (concurrently heading the Economic Advisory Services Department), acting secretary-general, and eventually secretary-general and deputy director of its Executive Bureau.^[10]^[11]

From 1992 to 2002, Feng Kexu was Vice Chairperson of the Central Committee of the CDNCA.^[12] He later served as Honorary Vice Chairperson from 2002 to 2007. He was widely respected within the association as an experienced organizer and a representative figure of the older generation of its leadership.^[13]

Feng Kexu died of illness in Beijing on March 8, 2025, at the age of 99.^[14]

Family

Feng Kexu’s elder brother, Feng Kexi (1922–2004), was also a prominent patriotic democratic figure.^[15] Feng Kexi served as Honorary Vice Chairperson of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League and held several senior positions in Chongqing, including Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Municipal People’s Congress.^[16]
