Zhu Dehai (Chinese: 朱德海; Korean: 주덕해; 5 March 1911 – 3 July 1972) was a Korean Chinese revolutionary, educator, and politician of the People's Republic of China. He served as a political commissar of the Eighth Route Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He was the first governor of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture from 1952 to 1965. He also served as the member of the National People's Congress (NPC) for several years[when?]. He was known as a political moderate and defied orders from the during the Great Leap Forward while maintaining a close relationship with the North Korean government. During the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards stigmatized Zhu as a North Korean spy, and he was expelled from all political positions.
As a Korean minority high-ranking cadre, Zhu contributed to improve the social status of Korean minority in China. His support for Korean's autonomy in northeastern China culminated in the establishment of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in 1952. He also paid attention to the education for Korean Chinese. In Yan'an, Zhu was a founder of the Military and Political University for Korean Revolution (朝鲜革命军政大学; 조선혁명군정대학). He also played a crucial role in the establishment of Yanbian University, the first university in Yanbian prefecture.
Born as the son of a poor Korean farmer who immigrated to Primorsky Krai, Russian Empire in 1911, Zhu was inspired to become a communist by attending a school sponsored by Korean communists. As a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), he engaged in guerrilla actions against the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931. In 1935, he followed the party's command to study at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East and graduated in 1938.
Zhu joined the Chinese Communist Party headquarters in Yan'an and took up a position in the education department for the Korean Chinese minority in China. During the Chinese Civil War, he organized and led a voluntary battalion of Korean communists and occupied Harbin along with the People's Liberation Army. Zhu came to prominence through his exploits during the Chinese Civil War.
In 1949, shortly before the foundation of the People's Republic of China, the CCP appointed Zhu to be the first secretary of the Yanbian Local Committee of the Communist Party, which represented all ethnic Koreans in northeastern China. In 1952, he became the first governor of the freshly established Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Simultaneously, he rose in influence in the central politics of China. In 1954, he was appointed vice governor of Jilin Province and elected to the 1st National People's Congress. He served as the member of the congress for 3 consecutive terms until the Cultural Revolution.
In 1966, Zhu became the target of criticism by the Red Guards in Yanbian. Mobilized by Mao Yuanxin, a cousin of Mao Zedong, Red Guards accused him of treason and being the province's "top capitalist". He resigned from his position in 1966 and was sent down to Hubei Province, where he died of lung cancer in 1972.
After the demise of Mao and the subsequent downfall of the Gang of Four, Zhu Dehai was posthumously rehabilitated officially in 1978. In 2007, his remains were moved from Wuhan to Yanji.
