Jan. 21 - The remains1 of Bo Yibo, a veteran revolutionary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), who served in several key posts including vice2 premier3, were cremated4 at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery5 in Beijing on Sunday.

 

Bo died of illness last Monday in Beijing at the age of 99.

 

President Hu Jintao, former president Jiang Zemin and senior Party and government leaders Wu Bangguo, Wen Jiabao, Jia Qinglin, Zeng Qinghong, Wu Guanzheng, Li Changchun and Luo Gan attended the farewell ceremony.

 

Bo's remains were covered with a CPC red banner.

 

An official obituary6 described Bo as an excellent CPC member, a great Communist warrior7, a great proletarian revolutionary and a prominent leader in the Party's economic work.

 

Born in Shanxi Province in 1908, Bo joined the CPC at the age of 17 and lived to be the Party's oldest member.

 

Bo had been a member of the 7th, 8th and 11th CPC Central Committees, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the 8th CPC Central Committee, vice premier of the State Council, and also deputy head of the former CPC Central Advisory8 Committee.

 

Bo played a prominent role in China's economic leadership. He was the first finance minister of the People's Republic of China.

 

As the deputy head of the committee for the reform of the economic systems, Bo also made his contributions to the country's reform and opening drive.

 

Bo devoted9 much of his time after retirement10 to the writing of memories and study of the Party's history. His works include a two-volume memoir11 that provides rare insights into the policy making processes of key historic events.

 

Bo Xilai, his son, is currently China's Minister of Commerce.
