History

On November 15, 1952, the Nineteenth Meeting of the Central People's Government Committee [zh] ratified the Resolution about the Reorganization of Provinces and Districts (Chinese: 《关于调整省、区建制的决议》).^[1][2] Article 3 of the resolution mandated the creation of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province and the dissolution of the People's Administrative Offices of North and South Jiangsu. At that time, territories that belonging to Shandong Province and Anhui Province, previously under the control of Jiangsu Province, were returned to Jiangsu.^[3] The People's Government of Jiangsu Province was founded in Nanjing. The two administrative offices and the jurisdiction of the Nanjing municipality formed the new Jiangsu Province. During this meeting, Tan Zhenlin was designated as the chairman of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province, while Ke Qingshi, Guan Wenwei [zh], and Leng Yu [zh] were appointed as vice-chairmen.^[4] Additionally, Shi Ximin [zh], Shi Ruifen, and forty-five others were named as members, initiating the preparations for the establishment of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province.^[5]

On January 1, 1953, the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government Committee convened its inaugural meeting. During the meeting, Tan Zhenlin declared the official formation of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province. In February 1955, the People's Government of Jiangsu Province was restructured into the People's Committee of Jiangsu Province, and in March 1968, it was transformed into the Jiangsu Province Revolutionary Committee [zh].^[6] In December 1979, the Revolutionary Committee was dissolved,^[7] and the People's Government of Jiangsu Province was reinstated, located at 68 Beijing West Road, Gulou District, Nanjing City.^[8]
