There aren’t many 21st Century leaders who lived in a cave and laboured as a farmer before clawing their way to power.

Five decades ago, as the chaos of the Cultural Revolution engulfed Beijing, the 15-year-old Xi Jinping embarked on a harsh rural life amid the yellow canyons and mountains of inland China.

The region where Xi farmed was a bastion of the Communists during the civil war. Yan’an came to call itself “the holy land of the Chinese revolution”.

Xi has more balls than Lee!
 
according to Soviet diplomat Peter Vladimirov, Yan'an was the land of "wine and meat" for him during the 2nd Sino-Japanese war. he recounted that he was treated to almost daily banquets by Mao Zedong during his long stay there, he grew so sick of the good food and wine that he decided to reject the banquet invitations. read "The Vladimirov diaries." the Communists stories that they were frugal and ate only tofu and vegetables for daily meals during the war were for the gullible public and media, in truth the Communists leaders had nothing to do, and passed time by feasting on good food and drank wine like water regularly in their rural hideouts.

The only one I can relate to this example is Ong Teng Cheong
