Dong Biwu was born in Huanggang, Hubei. He was the President (Chairman of the Executive Committee) of China from 1948 to 1949 and Acting President from 1968 until 17 January 1975 when Zhu De became the succeeding Chairman of the Standing Committee of the People's National Congress (formal Head of State). He was also Vice-President of the People's Republic of China from 1959 until 1975, jointly with Soong Ching-ling. In 1975 he was elected Deputy Chairman of the Standing Committee of People's National Congress (Parliament).

He died just a year before Mao and several other important politicians like Zhou Enlai and Zhu De.

In 1991, a statue of Dong Biwu was erected in one of Wuhan's central squares, Hongshan Guangchang. Hubei Provincial museum houses a collection of Dong's personal items.
