Who was Cai Tingkai?
Cai Tingkai was a Chinese general.
Cai was in overall command of the 19th Route Army of the Republic of China's National Revolutionary Army and other Chinese forces responsible for holding off the Imperial Japanese Army during the Shanghai War of 1932 on 28 January 1932.
In November 1933, Cai and fellow 19th Route Army officer Li Jishen rebelled against the ruling Kuomintang regime and, with Jiang Guangnai, they established the Fujian People's Government, on 22 November 1933. However the rebellion, known as the Fujian Incident, did not receive Communist support and, on 21 January 1934, it was defeated by the Kuomintang and Cai was forced to leave China for several years.
Later, in the Second Sino-Japanese War, Cai offered to return to command and returned to command the 26th Army Group in the Battle of South Guangxi. He also traveled to the United States to gain support from Chinese Americans for the war effort.
During the final stages of the Chinese Civil War, Cai supported the Chinese Communists and was a signer of the "Proclamation of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China" of 1 October 1949.
