Xi’s Rage Over Peng Liyuan’s Affair? Leaked Docs Reveal 5 Fatal Illnesses!

In the ruthless backstage of Zhongnanhai's power struggles, sometimes a single move is enough to shift the entire landscape. In March 2024, Zhang Yuxia delivered a calculated high-stakes blow to break free from the long-standing grip of Peng Liyuan and Party Secretary-General Zhong Xiaojun within the Central Military Commission. His target? None other than the delicate, deeply private relationship between Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan. As the old saying goes, when a woman has a lover, the husband is usually the last to know. In Beijing's elite circles, Peng Liyuan's past affair was an open secret. Everyone knew, but no one dared to tell Xi. No one except Zhang Yuxia, who was bold enough to stir the hornet's nest. Recently, Peng Liyuan's conspicuous absence during Xi Jinping's state visits, even at the state dinner welcoming Belarusian President Lukashenko, has ignited a storm of rumors that she had fallen out of favor, or worse, been quietly removed from the political stage. Some speculate that Xi himself cut ties with her to protect the rest of his family, deliberately leaving Peng unshielded. These whispers remain unconfirmed, but one thing is clear. Cracks have appeared in the once-unshakable facade of China's most powerful couple. Today, we peel back the layers of strategic betrayal and cold political calculus in the shadows of Beijing, where even those at the very top cannot escape the merciless laws of fate. Secrets Hidden in the Lines of the PLA Daily Recently, the front page of the Chinese Communist Party's PLA Daily featured a series of eight commentaries under the banner clarifying right and wrong. Among them, the June 5th article titled, How to Properly Treat Family Tradition and Discipline, stood out. It stated, Good family discipline brings prosperity. Poor family values bring ruin to future generations and harm to society. It went further, warning, Personal ties must not constrain public authority, and calling for the rejection of the mindset of elevating wives and pampering children. One particularly striking detail, the article placed the Chinese characters for family and tomb side by side, an ominous metaphor suggesting that failing to properly place one's relatives is akin to digging one's own grave. It made me wonder, who is this warning directed at? And then the names Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liwan immediately came to mind. Rumors have long circulated that Peng once wielded influence within the military, intervening in officer promotions, before being quietly removed from the system. The article's sharp language feels like a knife aimed squarely at the heart of China's most powerful household. But the story doesn't end there. In fact, it opens the door to a much deeper world, of secrets buried beneath official silence, of brutal internal struggles, and of wounds that may never heal, even in those who seem untouchable. Peng Lin, the woman behind the spotlight. Born in 1962 in Yuncheng, Shandong, Peng Liwan came from a modest but stable family. Her father was the director of the local cultural center, and her mother was a stage actress. From a young age, Peng showed a gift for singing. She was admitted to the Shandong Art School, and in 1980, a major opportunity came her way when she was selected to represent her province in a folk singing competition in Beijing. There, she met Zhao Qing, the daughter of the famed actress Zhao Dan, who held considerable influence in the arts scene and maintained close ties with Premier Zhou Enlai. Zhao Qing took a liking to Peng and adopted her as a goddaughter, opening doors to a meteoric rise. In the 1990s, through Zhao Qing, Peng was introduced to Wang Yaping, wife of Zhang Zemin. Once again, she took Wang as a godmother and became a frequent presence in the Zhang household, often singing at private gatherings. Even Zhang himself, famously nicknamed To Zhang by the public, held her in high regard. These relationships would later prove pivotal. Thanks in large part to Peng's deep political connections, Xi Jinping's rise was remarkably swift, from governor of Fujian to party secretary of Zhejiang, then Shanghai, and eventually to China's top leadership. Peng's contribution to his ascent was far from insignificant. As political commentator Lau Dang once said, while Song Zuying used her ties to Zhang Zemin for personal glory, Peng Liwan played a far grander game for her husband's future and to help him reach the pinnacle of power. But every spotlight casts a shadow. What began as a love story between Peng and Xi gradually evolved into a political alliance. His glory elevated her. Her prestige reinforced his image. Early in Xi's tenure, Peng's elegant presence as first lady earned him widespread praise. But as his leadership turned increasingly autocratic, drawing comparisons to North Korea, Xi, too, became seen as complicit. Lau Dang observed that despite her Buddhist devotion and interest in Qigong, Peng was ultimately not immune to the corruption of power. Her thinking, he said, became indistinguishable from Xi's. Were it not for the shifting tides of fate, Xi might well have molded Peng into a second Jiang Qing, wielding real power behind the scenes in the creation of a dynastic rule. Cracks in the marriage from love to revenge. Peng Liwan's love story was never just about the spotlight. It's filled with shadows and secrets. Both Xi and Xi Jinping came together after the collapse of previous relationships. According to the account Great Treasure Dynasty, before meeting Xi, Peng had already been married. In 1980, at just 18 years old, she wed Luo Jian, a 25-year-old composer with the General Political Department's Song and Dance Ensemble in Harbin. They met during rehearsals. Their connection sparked by shared musical passion. Luo played Chopin's Nocturne, Peng softly sang along, and love blossomed in that modest practice room. They squeezed into a small apartment, ate Northeastern dumplings, and dreamed of the future. At the end of 1980, they held a humble wedding, just one banquet table in the troop's cafeteria. But the marriage was short-lived. In 1981, Luo Jian visited a fortune teller, Wang Enxian, who predicted that Peng Liwan was destined for greatness. As a woman of national significance, and that her fate would unfold in the South. Fearing he might obstruct her destiny, Luo chose to divorce her, despite Peng's tearful pleas. He left with his piano and never remarried. According to the Hong Kong-published book Xi Jinping's Lovers, Peng met Xi Jinping in 1986 while he was stationed in Xiamen. They married in 1987, and in 1992, their daughter Xi Mingzhe was born. Her rise to the status of Mother of the Nation seemed to fulfill the old prophecy to perfection. But life with Xi Jinping was far from smooth. While Peng was pregnant with their daughter, Xi had an affair with Meng Shui, a young, beautiful television host in Fujian, reportedly arranged by Bo Xilai. And it wasn't just her. Other Northern flowers kept appearing, with Xi unable or unwilling to stop. One month after Peng gave birth to Xi Mingzhe, the rumors reached her ears. Furious, Xi took her newborn and returned to her parents' home in Beijing. Within two days, Xi's mother, Qi Xin, summoned him back to Beijing under the pretense that his father, Xi Zhongshun, needed to see him. When Xi arrived, he found Peng sitting next to his father, Qi Xin, holding the baby. Xi Zhongshun scolded him harshly. Qi Xin interjected, saying she had quietly investigated and learned from Ni Weiping that the women in Fujian were all arranged by Bo Xilai. She added that ever since Deng Xiaoping finalized the fifth-generation leadership list, Xi had sensed something suspicious about the Bo family. Xi Zhongshun said sternly, a man with a clear conscience fears no shadow. The Bo family's problems are theirs. But the Xi family cannot afford scandal. Jinping, you must write a self-criticism and give it to Peng Liwan directly. Qi Xin, stay out of this. In the days that followed, Xi remained at his parents' home in self-imposed isolation, writing three self-criticisms, each one more introspective than the last. Slowly, Peng Liwan's anger softened, and that evening, they reconciled. But according to Great Treasure Dynasty, the emotional wound in Peng's heart never fully healed. A seed of revenge had been planted. In 1989, through her ex-husband Luo Jian, Peng met Zhu Jitong, a charismatic and talented man seven years her junior from Harbin Institute of Technology. Their connection quickly crossed the line of friendship. Zhu even organized a private concert for her, and the emotion in her eyes as she sang betrayed deep, complicated feelings. In 1990, Peng became pregnant with Zhu Jitong's child, but chose to undergo a secret abortion in a Shanghai hospital with Zhu at her side. Later, she asked Li Chang to help advance Zhu's career. Thanks to her influence, Zhu became deputy secretary-general of Shanghai in 2019 and party secretary of Pudong New District in 2021. Every time Peng visited Shanghai, she met Zhu privately, always with security detail in tow. This relationship undoubtedly contributed to Zhu Jitong's success, but it also sowed the seeds of future peril. Zhang Yuxia's strike, secrets unraveled. In March 2024, a major political tremor shook the Chinese leadership. Zhang Yuxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, could no longer endure the grip of Peng Liwan and Secretary-General Zhang Xiaojun. Determined to break free, he launched a devastating strike. Zhang confronted Xi Jinping directly and said bluntly, General Secretary, you don't trust us, the veteran commanders. You'd rather let your secretary oversee the army and your wife pull the strings? Are you even aware of Director Peng's long-standing emotional betrayal or Zhang Xiaojun's arrogance backed by her influence? Xi, according to insiders, was thunderstruck, frozen in shock. Rumors suggest this emotional blow may have triggered his subsequent stroke. In a fit of rage, he ordered Zhu Jitong's arrest, removed Zhang Xiaojun from the military commission, and stripped Peng Liwan of her remaining military role. Ironically, the purge created the perfect opening for Zhang Yuxia to consolidate power, quietly shifting the balance away from Xi. Zhu Jitong came under investigation in July 2024 and was officially arrested on June 11, 2025, facing multiple charges, ranging from political corruption to amassing vast illicit wealth through influence peddling. Peng Liwan remained silent. She continued her public appearances as first lady, but her heart was shattered. When Xi visited Kazakhstan in early June 2025, Peng was notably absent. Some whispered that Xi had stepped back to protect his family, but chose not to protect her. While the full truth remains unclear, the cracks in their relationship are undeniable and growing harder to hide. Xi Jinping, suffering from five serious illnesses? Amid reported family rifts, Xi Jinping may be facing more troubling news. On July 14, Huli Peng, a Chinese-American businessman originally from Shanghai, claimed he received a medical report allegedly belonging to Xi. The report suggests the patient suffers from several serious health conditions. Lacking medical expertise, Hu consulted doctors, who found the report professionally written but could not confirm the patient's identity. Still, Hu chose to share its main findings. According to the report, the individual underwent comprehensive testing, covering thyroid, kidney, heart, metabolic, neurological, and abdominal imaging functions. Results pointed to five major issues. Brain degeneration and signs of Parkinson's, hypothyroidism, chronic heart failure, mild kidney dysfunction, and metabolic disorders, including alcoholic fatty liver. Commentator Li Muyong consulted medical professionals to understand what symptoms such conditions might produce. The answer, head tilt, poor limb coordination, and frequent expressions of pain. Notably, these symptoms have been observed in Xi in recent years. The head tilt is especially visible, earning him the nickname Tilted Head Bear online. Limited mobility was also noted, such as during his 2019 visit to Europe, where Xi walked slowly and with short, uneven steps during a ceremony with French President Macron. A striking display of apparent discomfort came during the 2024 Two Sessions meeting when a British journalist captured Xi wincing in pain while drinking tea. As for the alcoholic fatty liver, it aligns with Xi's well-known fondness for Mu Tai. Back in 2005, while serving as party secretary in Zhejiang, he openly praised the liquor and knew the retail price of an 80-year-old vintage. Legal scholar Yuan Hongbing once claimed Xi could down a whole bottle in his youth. Of course, these remain unverified claims. Who did not confirm the report's authenticity? And neither can we. But if the document is real, Xi's health could be seriously declining. Could this be tied to recent rumors about his waning power or possible plans to step down? The Shandong and Harbin Factions An Underground Power Struggle The story of Xi and Peng's family saga is only the surface. It opens a window into a much larger political battle. Whispers of a conflict between the Shandong faction and the Harbin faction have begun to circulate. The Shandong faction, currently led by Peng Liwan, was previously headed by Wang Fengqing, wife of Zheng Qinghong. It's said to be a network of opportunistic officials who rose through the ranks by currying favor with powerful women. Among the 205 full members of the 20th Central Committee, a staggering 32 are originally from Shandong, a dominant presence. Exiled dissident Jiang Guangzheng, now living in Australia, revealed that after the two sessions in March 2025, members of the Shandong faction held a secret banquet in a remote location. During the party, one guest drank excessively and suffered a stomach hemorrhage, catching the attention of high-level authorities. Allegedly, the gathering was organized by Peng Liwan herself, though she did not attend. The real purpose? To select a new leader for the faction ahead of the 21st Party Congress. Among the frontrunners, Yin Li, Beijing Party Secretary, and Ma Xingri, Xinjiang Party Secretary. Meanwhile, the Harbin faction, according to the Great Treasure Dynasty account, revolves around a corruption network linked to Peng Liwan and her ex-husband Luo Jian. Key figures include Ma Xingri, Li Shuncheng, and others. The downfall of Zhu Jitong was seen as a direct blow to this network, and a warning shot to Han Zheng and Ding Shuesheng, the new face of the Shanghai faction. Zhu had once served as Han Zheng's secretary, and he had handled sensitive affairs for Ding Shuesheng's family in Shanghai. Exiled commentator Tai Shengkun believes the investigation may also be aimed at Jiang Mianheng, son of former president Jiang Zemin. Regardless of who the true target is, it's clear that China's top leadership is now engulfed in a fog of political uncertainty. To be clear, we cannot independently verify these claims. But what's no longer a secret is Peng Liwan's entanglement in the upper echelons of Communist Party infighting. Former naval lieutenant colonel Yao Chen once revealed that as early as 2017, Peng held a permanent seat on the Central Military Commission's cadre evaluation committee for eight years, helping shape top military appointments. That committee may well have been created especially for her. A bigger tragedy than politics. Looking back, this story isn't just gossip or factional warfare. It's a deeply human tragedy set against the brutal backdrop of authoritarian power. Xi Jinping, Peng Liwan, Xu Zhitong, Zhang Yuxia. They are all individuals with ambition, desires, and wounds of their own. Power may bring prestige, but it also sows betrayal, division, and pain. Peng Liwan, once just a talented girl from Yuncheng, rose to the national stage through her talent and savvy. But in the end, it was those very relationships that dragged her into dangerous political territory. The system they live in, a communist society steeped in endless struggle, forces its people to fight until they burn out or are crushed. As I've said before, don't be fooled by the glamour of power. These people too are scarred, corrupted by ambition, consumed by desire, and lost in their own emotional chaos. And this, ultimately, is a warning. No matter how high you rise, the family should be your final refuge. But if left unprotected, family can become your Achilles heel. Perhaps Xi Jinping is now lonelier than ever, with even those closest to him no longer at his side. And Peng Liwan, the woman once admired by a nation, may now be living with regrets too deep to speak aloud. The times are changing. Secrets once buried are slowly coming to light. The battle between Xi Jinping, Jiang Yuxia, and the Party's many factions is far from over. But the collapse of this system, as I see it, is inevitable.
