Biography

[edit]

Nie was born in Tianjin in 1928, with his ancestral home in Taoyuan County, Hunan. He studied at Yaohua School in Tianjin from 1935 to 1946, and graduated from Beiyang University (now Tianjin University) in 1950. He had four siblings, two of whom died early.[2] He joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1948 and was a member of its 13th Central Committee.[1]

Nie served as mayor of Tianjin from October 1989 to June 1993 and chairman of Tianjin Municipal People's Congress from June 1993 to May 1998. When Tan Shaowen, Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of Tianjin, died in February 1993, Nie served as acting CCP Committee Secretary for a month before Gao Dezhan was appointed as Tan's replacement. In the early 1990s, he successfully lobbied the central government to allow Tianjin to implement housing reform after the example of Shanghai.[2]

Nie died on 20 April 2018 at the age of 90.[2]
