Biography

Lin Liheng was born in Yan'an. She went with her father, Lin Biao, to Moscow when she was six years old.

After Lin Biao died in 1971 in the "Lin Biao Incident" (or "September-13th Incident", 九一三事件), Lin Liheng was investigated and put into custody by the government, even though she was the one that informed Zhou Enlai.[1][2] At this time, she was suffering, and even attempted suicide.[3] However, on Mao Zedong's orders, she was not further interrogated, and was released in 1974. Then she married her boyfriend and worked in a factory in Zhengzhou. She later went to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

On 1 November 2014, Lin Liheng publicly appeared on a symposium of Chinese Red Army descendants and gave speeches; this attracted the media's attention.[4]
