Peng Dehuai was then member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Vice-Premier of the State Council and concurrently Minister of National Defence. Huang Kecheng was then member of the Secretariat of the Central Committee and Chief of the General Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Zhang Wentian was then alternate member of the Political Bureau and Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs. Zhou Xiaozhou was then alternate member of the Central Committee and first secretary of the Hunan provincial Party committee. At the Eighth Plenary Session of the Party's Eighth Central Committee held in August 1959, they were mistakenly designated as a ``Right opportunist anti-Party group''. The ``Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China'' adopted on June 27, 1981 by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Party's Eleventh Central Committee criticized as entirely wrong the resolution passed by the Eighth Plenary Session of the Party's Eighth Central Committee concerning the so-called anti-Party group of Peng Dehuai, Huang Kecheng, Zhang Wentian and Zhou Xiaozhou.
