7 pointsLi Rui, onetime secretary to Mao Zedong and a frequent namecheck in drol's lists of immortals, dead at 101.

6 pointsFINALLY!!! Li Rui was definitely a hero in a Country and epoch of villains. He chose to be on the side of the people against a repressive party and government. He had the balls to disagree with the Party about Tienanmen and paid much for this, like a few others (among them the late Zhao Ziyang). It's a pity a complete piece of rubbish like Song Ping survives him.

1 pointhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2019/02/15/lady-falkender-harold-wilsons-controversial-secretary-powerful/ Marcia Falkender dead at 86. As a random note her death is announced in a similar way to Mary Wilson - late in the evening on the front page of a major newspaper- The Telegraph this time rather than the Times.
