This morning, I learned from the office of the eldest son of General Ren Rong, the "founding general": "Comrade Ren Rong died in Wuhan at 2: 28 on June 20 17 at the age of 100".

Ren Rong, a native of Cangxi County, Sichuan Province, was born in 19 17. 1933 joined the Chinese Communist Youth League and joined the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army in the same year. 1934 from the communist youth league to China.
