ZHU RONGJI
b. October 1928

CHINESE PRIME MINISTER ZHU RONGJI MEETING IN
THE GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE, BEIJING,
WITH RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN, 2002

Some sources have former premier's birthdate as October 1, 1928; others give it as October 23, 1928.

One date is certain: October 1, 1949, is the official birthday (National Day) of the People's Republic of China. Last year saw a big sixtieth anniversary celebration.
