Yang Huimin

Yang Huimin

Yang Huimin (zh-ts|t=楊惠敏|s=杨惠敏, Pinyin: Yáng Huìmǐn) (March 6, 1915 - March 9, 1992) was a Girl Guide during the 1937 battle of Shanghai who supplied a Republic of China flag and brought supplies to besieged defenders of the Sihang Warehouse. Her actions proved inspiring to the defenders, who flew the flag the next daybreak in front of thousands of watching eyes across the bank of the Suzhou Creek.

Personal life

After the war, Yang retreated to Taiwan with the Republic of China government in the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War. She married National Taiwan University professor of physical education Zhu Zhongming and bore two sons Zhu Fugui and Zhu Fuhong. She died of a stroke March 9, 1992 at the age of 78.
