This year marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC). To commemorate pioneers of the revolution, major CPC Central Committee media, provincial Party newspapers and provincial newspapers run a special column introducing preeminent CPC members in the two "100 figures"-100 heroic figures who have made outstanding contributions to the founding of the PRC and 100 Chinese citizens who have touched the hearts of the Chinese people since the founding of new China.
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2009 and in the interests of promoting patriotic education, the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and ten other departments made a selection in September 2009 of the two "100 figures."
