In May 1949, the entire Shanxi Province was liberated. In August of the same year, the North China People's Government formally appointed the members of the Shanxi Provincial People's Government.^[2] In February 1955, the Shanxi Provincial People's Government was reorganized into the Shanxi Provincial People's Committee. In March 1967, the Shanxi Provincial Revolutionary Committee was established. In December 1979, the Shanxi Provincial Revolutionary Committee was abolished and the Shanxi Provincial People's Government was re-established.
