What Really Happened to Lin Biao?

Most of the time we are told stories filled with mystery, and these stories usually have a conclusion. However, some stories are filled with mystery and their conclusions are yet another mystery. This is exactly what happened with the story of Lin Biao’s death. Lin Biao was Chairman Mao Zedong’s Vice-Chairman, who was a Chinese political leader and distinguished man who achieved glory for being one of the most honorable men in China, after fighting in many battles, such as the Chinese Civil War in the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. Lin Biao deeply believed in Mao’s communist movement and was supportive of his political ideals completely. Yet, on September 13, 1971, the plane in which Lin Biao was aboard, mysteriously crashed after supposedly running out of fuel while flying over Mongolia. The Chinese reported that no person aboard the Trident 1-E aircraft had survived.1
