	Rong Yiren; 'Red capitalist' had communists' support; 89 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Rong Yiren, a wealthy entrepreneur and former vice president of China who in the 1970s was asked by Deng Xiaoping to help initiate some of the nation's earliest economic reforms, died Oct. 26 in Beijing.
		Rong survived the rise of the Communist Party and the dissolution of his family's empire after 1949, only to be beaten and humiliated and then allowed to re-emerge, in the late 1970s, as one of the Communist Party's favored entrepreneurs.
		Rong Yiren was born in 1916, in the eastern city of Wuxi, in Jiangsu Province, one of seven sons of one of China's richest families.

	Telegraph \| News \| Rong Yiren
		Rong Yiren, who died on Wednesday aged 89, was said to be China's richest man and was his country's vice-president from 1993 to 1998; known as "the Red Capitalist", he played an important role in encouraging economic reforms under Deng Xiaoping.
		Rong Yiren, one of seven sons of a textile industrialist, Rong Desheng, was born at Wuxi, Jiangsu province, in 1916.
		Rong, a handsome man who was always beautifully dressed, was later reticent about the years of the Cultural Revolution, saying blandly: "I stayed at home planting flowers and studying." In fact, his children were forced to work in hard labour camps, while he himself was repeatedly denounced by the revolutionaries.

	Guardian \| Rong Yiren
		Rong Yiren, who has died aged 89, was a paradoxical figure: a capitalist by birth and believed to be the richest man in China, he served in key state positions, notably as the country's vice president (1993-98) and vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (1978-83).
		Rong's father and uncle were prominent capitalists in pre-1949 China, "cotton tycoons and flour kings" with extensive interests in textiles and flour milling.
		On his death, Rong was officially described as an "outstanding representative of the national industrial and commercial circle in modern China", "a superb state leader" and "a great fighter for patriotism and communism".
