Voice Of Friendship CPAFFC Journal No 166 December 2011.

Ms Li Xiaolin was elected President of the CPAFFC at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Council of the CPAFFC held in September 2011.
Mr Chen Haosu, who will no longer serve as President, has done a great deal of work for China's people to people diplomacy, for which the Executive Committee extends respect and gratitude to him. We met with Ms Li Xiaoling at a Youxie Dinner and discussion evening at the Sun Fei Taringa Restaurant.

There is a very interesting English interview in two parts with Li Xiaolin on the life of her father President Li Xiannian.

Li Xiaolin was born in 1953. She graduated from Wuhan University and later studied at the University of California Los Angeles in the United States and got a masters degree. She joined the CPAFFC in 1975 and since then has been involved in the non- governmental political work, successively serving as deputy Director and Director of U.S. Affairs, Deputy Director General and Director General of American and Oceanic Affairs and Vice President of the CPAFFC In the early 90's she worked as First Secretary of the Chinese Embassy in the United States. She is a member of the 10th and 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
She is the only daughter of former Chinese Premier Li Xiannian.
Li Xiannian born 23 June 1909 – 21 June 1992 was President of the Peoples Republic of China between 1983 and 1988 and then chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference until his death. He was an influential political figure throughout the PRC, having been a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China from 1956. He is one of the architects of China's economic recovery after the Cultural Revolution, and is considered one of the Eight Immortals of Communist Party of China.
Congratulations to Li Xiaolin and I hope we meet up again.

The Banner
The first National Congress of Communist Party of China (CPC) meeting was held in Shanghai 90 years ago. The meeting officially declared the founding of the CPC. The newly CPC has only a few dozen members at that time. For 90 years, generations of CPC lead all people to struggle and over come various difficulties and achieve victories in revolution, reconstruction and reform. This changes the fate of the Chinese nation and influnence the history of man kind.
