'''Zhao Ziyang''' (1919—2005) was a reformist [[Chinese Communist Party]] leader.
A successful reformist party leader in [[Guangdong]] province, he was purged during the [[Cultural Revolution]] and forced to work in a factory. Rehabilitated by [[Zhou Enlai]] in 1973, he became party chief in [[Sichuan]], where his reforms were seen as a model by [[Deng Xiaoping]]. As Deng rose, so did Zhao: in 1980 he replaced the hapless [[Hua Guofeng]] as Prime Minister and in this role presided over economic reform and the introduction of market economics to the monolithic socialist economy of China.
