[RxPG] Beijing, April 2 - Thousands of Chinese, including top state leaders, Monday attended the funeral of late Chinese leader Mao Zedong's second son Mao Anqing, who died March 23 at the age of 84.

Chinese President Hu Jintao, former president Jiang Zemin and senior Communist Party and government leaders attended the farewell ceremony at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in western Beijing.

Mourners, many dressed in military uniform, queued up quietly outside the memorial hall to pay their last respects to Mao Anqing, the last surviving son of Mao Zedong.

Dozens of foreigners from Russia, Japan, Cuba, Vietnam and Tanzania attended the memorial service.

Mao Anqing, born in 1923 in central China's Hunan Province, was one of the three sons of Mao Zedong and his former wife Yang Kaihui.

'Mao Anqing didn't have an eminent official position. Neither did he possess great fortune, but he deserves all the respects and we will miss him,' said Zhao Fengzhang, a middle-aged man from Hebei province.

Compared to his elder brother Mao Anying, who served in the volunteer army, Mao Anqing remained largely unknown to many Chinese.

The brothers were sent to study in Moscow. Mao Anqing returned to China in 1947 and joined the Communist Party of China -.

He worked as a Russian translator in the publicity department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He also translated into Chinese a dozen of works on Marxism and Leninism.
