Talk:Hua Guofeng

message: I browsed thru 200 Chinese website's summaries, they say something like "Born in Jiaocheng, joined the Party in 38". There's no mentioning of his parents and family situation or education at all. How strange for a national leader. --Menchi 03:58 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:Question on his birthdate: I'm looking at a source that says 1920: Wang, James C.F., Contemporary Chinese Politics: An Introduction (Prentice-Hall, New Jersey: 1980) p.35  I won't change that at this time, but I am adding some additional early life details. DOR (HK) (talk) 02:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

message: It would be near impossible for an party elder like him to quit the CPC. Can the claim be backed up? If not it should be removed. -- Миборовский U|T|C|E 06:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Quit CPC?

message: The Chinese birth name and the pinyin do not correspond. The pinyin for the characters given 刘苏铸 should be Liu Suzhu not Liu Zhengrong.

message: Is there a reason the pinyin for Hua has a fourth tone marker instead of second tone? (140.247.10.133 15:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The character has alternate pronunciations; first, second and fourth tones are all possible. I don't know which is correct here, so I won't change it.217.42.13.36 17:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Because it is confirmed that he wasn't probably. Mlewan (talk) 18:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the evidence for this? Was it a DNA test? Was there any evidence that Mao believed Hua was his son? All worthy of comment, I'd say. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 18:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what evidence you want? The DNA evidence that he is not Mao's son is in the article quoted above. There is some kind of second hand quote in English of the same kind here. If you want evidence that he would be Mao's son, I do not think there is any at all, just guesses, like Victor Shih who says "My personal take is that Hua was indeed Mao's son, since little else could have explained his meteoric rise during the Cultural Revolution. He was not particularly "revolutionary" as Wang Hongwen was, but yet was always sheltered and promoted by Mao." That clearly is no real "evidence" at all. --Mlewan (talk) 10:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Leaving aside the 'shagmonster' point for a moment, the rumour of Hua's paternity is worthy of comment. Rumours, even unfounded ones, are well worth recording because people believe them and act upon them. For instance, it would be worth knowing whether the politburo or the Gang of Four believed Mao was Hua's father. How did they explain Mao's left-field choice of successor? (And he does look just like the murderous old sod in this picture ...) --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 11:54, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Personally, I have nothing against if someone updates the article with a "debunked rumour" section. I just do not see any need for it myself. --Mlewan (talk) 18:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: It was rendered as "Chinese Resistance against Japan Nation-saving Vanguard" before... Well, let's just say there has to be a better translation than this...?
I checked on Google, but the handful of results I did find are either direct quotations or paraphrasing of this article on Wikipedia, leading me to believe that it was an invention by a certain Wikipedian rather than an established form. In particular, the phrase "Nation-saving", which I found to be particularly awkward, had only one other isolated usage by the English edition of the Choson Ilbo, while "national salvation" is a well established phrase and widely used around the world.
Being a native speaker of Chinese, I decided to be bold and make the change; please feel free to change if you think you have a better one :) 14.104.200.30 (talk) 12:26, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

"Hua moved with the PLA to Hunan in 1949, where he married Han Zhijun in January, and remained there as a local official until 1971."
