Dead. Rene.

Well, look two post above yours...

Silvio Marzolini? Pretty old news.

Mlangeni was the last defendant. Bizos is the last defence lawyer.

DL miss! Just for a letter!

He is clearly notable enough to have his own thread, a possible DL pick (like his brother) and frequently ill.

So, George Bizos is the last living figure linked to Rivonia Trials, right? Will turn 93 in November.

This was quick. Mlangeni joins other Rivonia trialists.

Zanardi discharged, sent to rehab.

Francisco Rodriguez Adrados, leading Spanish philologist, constant Italian DL pick, dead at 98. Waiting for TMZ title: "FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ ADRADOS..... FOUND DEAD AT 98" and a long article full of .....

Lone Dybkjaer dead at 80.

Good old Dilip Kumar! We have not seen him being driven around for a bit!

Giuseppe Ottaviani dead at 104.

But won't be. John Neale dead at 93.

Seems quite serious.

Here you go, cunt.

A quick list of old Chinese politicos, one of the hardest thing to kill in this world. 1)Song Ping (1917): political leader of Gansu who rose to the Organization Department in the 80s. He was the one responsible for ending the careers of those who opposed Tien An Men repression. Due to his excellent work (and profound hatred for Zhao Zhiyang) he was promoted to the Politburo after the massacre. Considered very close to Hu JIntao. Widowed since last year. 2)Wan Haifeng (1920): one of the last founding fathers of PRC and commander of volounteers during the Korea war. Widowed since last year, increasingly frail, will be awarded a big honour later this year for his Korea service. 3)Zou Yu (1920): minister of Justice, he was hospitalized in a serious condition in 2017, but got discharged and made appearances as late as last September. Also known because his granddaughter is fine. 4)Zheng Tuobin (1924): former Minister of Trade whose retirement benefits are incredibly high. 5)Lin Jiamei (1924): wife of Li Xiannan and former First Lady. Was incredibly frail already in 2015. 6)He Jingzhi (1924): minister of Culture and famous writer. 7)Ren Jianxin (1925): president of the Supreme Court and successor of Zou Yu as Minister of Justice. Not heard so much nowadays. 8)Wang Hanbin (1925): old cadre behind the HK Basic Laws. Seen on a wheelchair back in 2016. 9)Wang Binqian (1925): former minister of Finance, living in an apartment paid by the government. 10)Jiang Zemin (1926): the human face of Chinese regime who would rise atop of the system from his Shangai political position and brought with him the infamous clique. Famous for his funny outburst and for looking like a toad, suffered a severe heart attack in 2012 and was longtime rumored dead. Doing well. 11)Zou Jiahua (1926): vice premier and Politburo member. 12)Qi Xin (1926): mother of Winnie the Pooh. 13)Wang Yeping (1928): missus of Jiang Zemin. Old but well and frequently appears in public. 14)Zhu Rongji (1928): progressist PM who believed in human rights. Recently made the headlines as he did not take part to the 70th PRC anniversary to protest against what is happening in Hong Kong. 15)Tian Jiyun (1929): former Vice-premier, rival of Jiang Zemin and protected by Zhao Zhiyang. Last appearance in 2018, but was fine. Considered a progressist who always poke fun at the hardliners. 16)Chi Haotian (1929): former Minister of Defence who was physically responsible of Tien An Men repression and showed great brutality. Somehow, still regarded as a national hero. 17)Hu Qili (1929): he paid his support to Tien An Men protest with his political career. Still, as a Politburo member, he opposed the martial law. Gravely ill in 2018, now bedridden and was visited last January by the Paramount Leader. 18)Peng Peiyun (1929): Wang Hanbin wife and Tibet human rights criminal 19)Lao An (1929): wife of Zhu Rongji 20)Han Zhijun (1930): widow of Hua Guofeng and never appears in public, as she didn't even when he was in power. 21)Yan Mingfu (1931): one of the very few high-ranking cadres who opposed martial law at Tien An Men and paid with his career (thanks, mr. Song). Suffering from a "long-term" illness which forces him on a wheelchair. 22)Song Jian (1931): legendary aerospace engineer and former minister of science. 23)Li Lanqing (1932): close friend of Li Ruihuan and former Vice-premier who focused on national education and steered clear from controversy. 24)Zhu Lin (1933): widow of Bejing butcher Li Peng. 25)Li Ruihuan (1934): definitely the good guy who had a direct contact with the people, even holding a radio broadcast in which he answered questions. Always seen as a moderate among hardliners. 26)Liu Zhongli (1934): former minister of Finance. 27)Wang Meng (1934): minister of Culture and famous writer 28)Luo Gan (1935): Jiang's main henchman, reportedly in failing health in 2021. 29)Cao Gangchuan (1935): minister of Defense, who was a relief after Chi Haotian. 30)Tang Jiaxuan (1938): former foreign minister.

I have to live 30 more years to reach my father's age. My mother is in notorious poor health but somehow still going at 84. My grandparents lived, in average, way more.
