Zhang Zishi

Zhang Zishi, born in the mid-20th century, graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Shandong University. Before the liberation, he served at the Qingdao Branch of the Nationalist Relief Administration and lived with his mother. After the liberation, Zhang Zishi joined the Chinese Communist Party and held various educational and administrative positions.

During his time in Qingdao, he served as Vice Principal and Director of Education at Qingdao No. 3 Middle School, and also as Principal of Qingdao No. 2 Middle School. Additionally, he was the Director of the Qingdao Municipal Education Bureau. During the Cultural Revolution, Zhang Zishi, along with Qingdao Vice Mayor Wang Xiaoyu, was classified as a "Rebel." At that time, Wang Xiaoyu was the Director of the Shandong Provincial Revolutionary Committee, and Zhang Zishi was a standing committee member of the same committee.

Shortly after the 9th National Congress in 1969, Zhang Zishi continued to serve as a standing committee member until July 1975, when he was transferred to Hangzhou. During his time in Hangzhou, he served as Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Provincial Revolutionary Committee and as a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee. From July 1975 to February 1979, he served as Mayor of Hangzhou.

On December 16, 1975, following the death of Kang Sheng, the People's Daily reported: "The Party and State leaders extended cordial greetings to Comrade Cao Yiu and his children, including Zhang Zishi." This marked the first time Zhang Zishi appeared in People's Daily reports as the son of Kang Sheng.

In February 1979, Zhang Zishi was dismissed from his position as Mayor of Hangzhou, and his career thereafter underwent changes. His father was Kang Sheng, a prominent figure in Chinese political history. As of the current publicly available information, detailed disclosures about his family background and subsequent life have not been made.
