Xie Fei (simplified Chinese: 谢飞; traditional Chinese: 謝飛; pinyin: Xiè Fēi; February 1913 – 14 February 2013) was a Chinese revolutionary and politician.
Early life until the Long March
She was born Xie Qiongxiang (Chinese: 謝瓊香) in Wenchang, Hainan Province. She was a revolutionary from the age of 13,[1] and became a member of the Chinese Communist Party in 1927.[2] After exile to Hong Kong and undercover work in Singapore, she returned to China in 1932,[2] where she worked in Fujian Province before coming to Ruijin in 1934.[3] In her time in Fujian, on several occasions she boiled and ate sensitive documents to keep them from Kuomintang agents, which caused life long stomach problems.[4] She was one of thirty women participants of the Long March, 1934–1935.[2]
Marriage to Liu
In October 1935,[5] she got married to Liu Shaoqi, who later became Chairman of the People's Republic of China, as his third wife.[6] Their marriage has been described as "brief, mysterious, and apparently childless,"[7] and ended in divorce in January 1939.[5]
Later life
During the Cultural Revolution, Xie was imprisoned for two years as a former close associate of Liu Shaoqi.[8]
