BEIJING - Former Chinese premier Li Peng, who died this week, will be cremated in Beijing next Monday .It added that flags would fly at half-mast in a sign of mourning in various areas in Beijing, provincial capitals, municipalities, and special administrative regions Hong Kong and Macau.
Xinhua's statement commemorated Mr Li, who died of an unspecified illness on Monday aged 90, as a"tried and tested, staunch communist warrior and an outstanding socialist revolutionary".
