Newly appointed: Huang He Qing (Huang Hai-ping?), Pan Ying Hou, Fang Cai Cheng, Yuan Zhuang Qi PC Candidates: Newly appointed: Li Ji xiang (Li Qi Xin or Li Sheng Xiang?), Lai Chuang Yao (Lei Kuang-juan?), Zhang Zhen, Huang Sheng Yu (Huang Sheng Qu) Prominent leader of trade union: Tan Yao Tai Secretary: Zeng returned to the CCP. He was replaced by Chen Bo Hai or Chen Xing Go (Guo). (8) Comparing the Party leaders with those mentioned by the research of Cheah Boon Kheng and C. F. Yong Yong’s research (5-(10)) suggested that Zeng might have been Cheung Hong-seng (Zhang Hong Cheng) because both had been Secretary of the Party. But as Cheung had been arrested on 8 March 1928, he could not have been appointed Secretary at this Plenum. Current information does not permit a precise identification. The trade union leader, Tan Yao Tai, who restored the trade union movement in Kuala Lumpur, might have been Tan Tiu-jeng. Again, that cannot be established with certainty. Yong wrote that the five envoys from the CCP – Phua Tin-kiap, Iang Pao-an, Yong Yok-su, Cheung Hong-seng and Cheung Yok-kai – formed the 28
Presidium (GC). From the Comintern list, if Secretary Zeng is Cheung Hong-sen, he could have been a Presidium member as well. It can be confirmed that Yong Yok-su was no longer a PC member in July, and that Cheung Yok-kai was not appointed at that time because he had been arrested in February 1928. Most of the other eight PC members mentioned by C. F. Yong correspond to those in the Comintern lists. Yong wrote that Li Chi-sin first arrived in Malaya in 1929. 28 The MCP’s official record noted that Li was dispatched to Singapore by the CCP in 1930. 29 If Li Ji xiang was Li Chi-sin, he would have come to Malaya earlier and was soon after appointed as a Presidium member. The Comintern files mentioned the arrest and banishment of Huang Moh Hang alone. That might suggest that many of the leaders who attended the Plenum were arrested afterwards. The place names of the “town committees” in the Comintern files are almost the same as those of the “local committees” in Yong’s account. It was not previously known that there was a local committee of East, West and Central Borneo. Although Ho Hong-seng appears in the respective books by Cheah and Yong, Ho was not mentioned in the Comintern files. As Su was once a secretary to Borodin, he might have been proficient in and able to write reports in Russian. Fu Tai-keng studied at the Oriental University in Moscow from 1921 to 1924 and, after returning to China, served as an interpreter for Borodin and the Soviet delegation. 30 It is more probable, then, that Fu wrote various Russian language reports to the Comintern. Both of the MCP’s document 31 and Yong 32 stated that Fu Tai-keng (Fu Taching) was born in 1900 in Jiangxi (Kiangsi). In this regard, Shanghai SB’s information was accurate, which was provided by the KMT Government to the SMP. As for the year Fu was dispatched to Singapore, while the MCP’s document and Singapore SB said it was 1928, Yong mentioned early 1929. Tsutsui’s conjecture of 1925 was apparently wrong. 29
