Biography
[edit]Feng Kexi was born in November 1922 in Jiang'an County, Sichuan. During the War of Resistance against Japan and the Chinese Civil War, he became involved in patriotic democratic movements. In July 1944, he joined the Chinese Youth Democratic Association, and in October 1945 he became a member of the China Democratic League.[2] In the 1940s, he worked as an editor and leading writer for newspapers such as the Xin Shu Daily and the Guomin Gongbao in Chongqing, and later managed publications affiliated with the CDL.[3]
