Peng Dehuai
Peng Dehuai (1898-1974) commanded the Chinese People's Volunteer Army that intervened in Korea in October 1950, driving UN forces back from the Yalu River and preserving North Korea as a buffer state. A veteran of the Long March and the civil war, he openly criticised Mao's Great Leap Forward at the 1959 Lushan Conference, for which he was purged and subsequently died of mistreatment during the Cultural Revolution.
