Input (English): Context: Marshal (also spelled marshall) is a term used in several official titles in various branches of society. As marshals became trusted members of the courts of Medieval Europe, the title grew in reputation. During the last few centuries, it has been used for elevated offices, such as in military rank and civilian law enforcement., Liu Bocheng (December 4, 1892  October 7, 1986) was a Chinese Communist military commander and Marshal of the People's Liberation Army., Chiang Kai-shek (October 31, 1887  April 5, 1975), also romanized as Jiang Jieshi and known as Jiang Zhongzheng, was a Chinese political and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975. Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, and was a close ally of Sun Yat-sen's. He became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun's place as leader of the KMT, following the Canton Coup in early 1926. Having neutralized the party's left wing, Chiang then led Sun's long-postponed Northern Expedition, conquering or reaching accommodations with China's many warlords., Lin Biao ( pinyin : Lín Bio ; Wade -- Giles : Lin Piao ; IPA : ( lin pja ) ; December 5 , 1907 -- September 13 , 1971 ) was a Marshal of the People 's Republic of China who was pivotal in the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War , especially in Northeast China . Lin was the general who commanded the decisive Liaoshen and Pingjin Campaigns , in which he co-led the Manchurian Field Army to victory and led the People 's Liberation Army into Beijing . He crossed the Yangtze River in 1949 , decisively defeated the Kuomintang and took control of the coastal provinces in Southeast China . He ranked third among the Ten Marshals . Zhu De and Peng Dehuai were considered senior to Lin , and Lin ranked directly ahead of He Long and Liu Bocheng . Lin abstained from taking an active role in politics after the civil war ceased in 1949 . He led a section of the government 's civil bureaucracy as one of the co-serving Deputy Vice Premiers of the People 's Republic of China from 1954 onwards , becoming First - ranked Vice Premier from 1964 . Lin became more active in politics when named one of the co-serving Vice Chairmen of the Communist Party of China in 1958 . He held the three responsibilities of Vice Premier , Vice Chairman and Minister of National Defense from 1959 onwards . Lin became instrumental in creating the foundations for Mao Zedong 's cult of personality in the early 1960s , and was rewarded for his service in the Cultural Revolution by being named Mao 's designated successor as the sole Vice Chairman of the Communist Party of China , from 1969 until his death . Lin died on September 13 , 1971 when a Hawker Siddeley Trident he was aboard crashed in Ondorhaan of Mongolia . The exact events of this `` Lin Biao incident '' have been a source of speculation ever since . The Chinese government 's official explanation is that Lin and his family attempted to flee following a botched coup against Mao . Others have argued that they fled out of fear they would be purged , as Lin 's relationship with other Communist Party leaders had soured in the final few years of his life . Following Lin 's death , he was officially condemned as a traitor by the Communist Party . Since the late 1970s Lin and Mao 's wife Jiang Qing ( with her Gang of Four ) have been labeled the two major `` counter-revolutionary forces '' of the Cultural Revolution , receiving official blame from the Chinese government ., Zhu De (Chu Teh pronounced ; 1 December 1886  6 July 1976) was a Chinese general, warlord, politician, revolutionary, and one of the pioneers of the Communist Party of China. Born poor in 1886 in Sichuan, Zhu was adopted by a wealthy uncle at age nine; this prosperity provided him a superior early education that led to his admission into a military academy. After his time at the academy, he joined a rebel army, and soon became a warlord. It was after this period that he adopted communism. He ascended through the ranks of the Red Army as it closed in on securing the nation. By the time China was under Mao's control, Zhu was a high-ranking official within the Communist Party of China. He served as Commander-in-Chief during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In 1955, Zhu became one of the Ten Marshals of the People's Liberation Army, of which he is regarded as the principal founder. Zhu remained a prominent political figure until his death in 1976. As the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress from 1975 to 1976, Zhu was the head of state of the People's Republic of China., The Chinese Civil War was a civil war in China fought between forces loyal to the Kuomintang (KMT)-led government of the Republic of China, and forces loyal to the Communist Party of China (CPC). The war began in August 1927, with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expedition, and essentially ended when major hostilities ceased in 1950. It can generally be divided into two stages; the first being from 1927 to 1937, and the second being from 1946 to 1950 with the Second Sino-Japanese War separating them. The war was a major turning point in modern Chinese history, with the CPC gaining control of almost the entirety of Mainland China, establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC) to replace the KMT's Republic of China (ROC). It also caused a lasting political and military standoff between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, with the ROC in Taiwan and the PRC in mainland China both officially claiming to be the legitimate government of all of China., Subject: lin biao, Relation: educated_at, Options: (A) law (B) military academy (C) whampoa military academy
