And also at the ceremony on Sunday for the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin was present in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing—ending any speculation that he had died.
在周日（中共）纪念辛亥革命100周年典礼上，前中共领导人江泽民在北京人民大会堂出席，结束他已死亡的任何臆测。
Speculation of his death became widespread when he failed to appear at a celebration of the Communist Party’s 90th anniversary in July. It was censored in China but reported widely in Hong Kong. Jiang took power after a purge of relatively liberal leaders following the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
当7月份江泽民无法出席中共90周年庆，江已死的猜测广泛流传。这在中国受到新闻检查控制，但在香港却被广泛地报导。江泽民是在一位相对自由的领导者遭到整肃后（译注：赵紫阳），接掌权力。
The hard-line leader was widely viewed as a political opportunist towards the end of his term, focused on city-centric economic development that left out rural Chinese and the poor.
这位强硬领导人，一直到任期结束，都被广泛视为是一位政治机会主义者，以城市经济的发展为重心，忽略乡村中国及贫困者。
In 1999 he launched the brutal persecution against the popular Falun Gong meditation practice—a persecution that is still going on today. He is retired but is still believed to wield power behind the scenes.
1999年，江泽民发动对广受欢迎的法轮功残酷的迫害─一直到今天还在进行。江已退休，但据信仍然在幕后操控权力。
