## History

On March 6, 1949, the Central Plains Provisional People's Government was founded in Kaifeng. On April 22, 1949, the Kaifeng Central Plains Bureau, having recently relocated to Peking, formally dispatched a telegram titled "Hubei Provincial Party Committee Cadres Equipped", recommending Li Xiannian for the position of Hubei Provincial Party Committee Secretary, while appointing Wang Hongkun and Liu Jianxun as the first and second deputy secretaries of the provincial party committee, respectively.
On May 8, 1949, the Central Plains Provisional People's Government convened the second committee meeting, during which it resolved to authorize the establishment of the Hubei Provincial People's Government and the Hubei Military Region. The resolution stated that, to align with the evolving national circumstances and to consolidate leadership throughout Hubei Province, the three district party committees, administrative offices, and military districts established following Liu-Deng army's incursion into the Dabie Mountains—namely Jianghan, Eyu, and Tongbai—would be dissolved immediately. On May 10, under the commission of Li Xiannian, Wang Hongkun convened a meeting at the Sun Jiafan Ancestral Hall garden, where he announced to the attending cadres the establishment of the CCP Hubei Provincial Committee, the Provincial People's Government, and the Hubei Military Region, along with the leadership appointments for the party, government, and military. Li Xiannian was designated as the Secretary of the CCP Hubei Provincial Committee, Chairman of the Hubei Provincial People's Government, and Commander and political commissar of the Hubei Military Region.
On May 12, 1949, the Central Committee of the CPC sanctioned the membership of the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial Committee, comprising Li Xiannian, Liu Jianxun, Wang Hongkun, Liu Zihou, Wang Shusheng, Nie Hongjun, and Wang Renzhong. Simultaneously, in accordance with the directive of the Central Military Commission, the Jianghan Military Region, EY Military Region, and Tongbai Military Region constitute a segment of the combined formation of the Hubei Military Region. On May 20, the newly formed Hubei Provincial Party Committee convened a general meeting of all cadres, officially announcing the establishment of the CCP Hubei Provincial Committee, the Provincial People's Government, and the Hubei Military Region.
