Xi Jinpong's father, Xi Zhongxun, was a communist guerilla leader in northwest China in the 1930s, when Mao and the CCP leaders reached [[Yan'an]] at the end of the [[Long March]]. Xi Zhongxun was one of the few local leaders to survive later purges, siding with the Mao Zedong faction and rising quickly through Party ranks to become a Vice Premier in the 1950s while still in his thirties. According to sources, Xi Zhongxun was the youngest Vice Premier among the early generation of CCP leaders. Despite his association with Mao's group, said the professor, Xi Zhongxun was also "good friends" with [[Deng Xiaoping]] and was "actually closer to Deng than to Mao."

Xi Zhongxun was purged in the early 1960s, several years before the Cultural Revolution began, but things got worse for him and his family once the Cultural Revolution started. Xi Zhongxun was rehabilitated by Deng Xaoiping in 1978 and was appointed by Deng as Party Secretary in Guangdong in the 1980s.
