Wang Kunlun (Chinese:王昆仑; August 1, 1902 – August 23, 1985), birth nameWang Ruyu (王汝虞), was a Chinese politician who held high-profile positions, at different times, in both theNationalist andCommunist parties. Born 1902 inBaoding, Hebei province to a wealthy household, he participated in theMay Fourth Movement while studying atPeking University and became involved with Chinese revolutionaries, at one point meeting in person withDr. Sun Yat-sen.[1] He joined the Nationalist party as a left-leaning member and served as Chief Secretary of the Political Department of the Headquarters of theNational Revolutionary Army during theNorthern Expedition, but became disillusioned withChiang Kai-shek's leadership after Chiang initiated a majorcrackdown against Communists in April 1927. He subsequently joined the Communist Party in secret and used his political positions within the Nationalist government to aid the Communists.[1] He was among a group of members of the Kuomintang who broke away to form theRevolutionary Committee of the Kuomintang in 1948. He would serve various government positions after the Communist victory, including vice-mayor ofBeijing and vice-chairman of theNational Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[2]
