Zhou Hui
Zhou Hui (; 1918 – November 18, 2004) was a
People's Republic of China politician. He was born in
Guannan County,
Jiangsu Province. His birth name was Hui Jue (). He was the younger brother of
Hui Yuyu, two-time governor of Jiangsu Province. He changed his name in 1938, when he joined the
Chinese Communist Party and went to
Yan'an, using his mother's surname as his own. He was
Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of
Hunan Province and
Inner Mongolia from 1981 to 1982. At the
Mountain Lu Conference in
Jiujiang in 1959, Zhou Hui and his predecessor in Hunan,
Zhou Xiaozhou, along with
Huang Kecheng and
Zhang Wentian, gave their support to
Peng Dehuai. Unlike Zhou Xiaozhou, Huang and Zhang, Mao did not punish Zhou Hui for his support of Peng. Policies proposed by Zhou resulted in the
1981 Inner Mongolia student protest.
