Sun Yun-liang

Sun Yun-liang
▪ 2008

      Chinese general

born 1904, Sichuan province, China

died May 25, 2007, Taipei, Taiwan
was celebrated for leading the successful battle in 1932 to defend Shanghai against invading Japanese forces. In 1937 his troops, despite suffering heavy casualties, again prevented the Japanese from capturing Shanghai. Following the defeat of Japan in 1945, Sun led Nationalist troops in the civil war against the Communist People's Liberation Army (PLA). This time, however, he was far less successful; in 1948 his forces were decisively beaten by the PLA in a major battle that heralded the end of the Nationalist presence in mainland China. Sun escaped with the remnants of the Nationalist army to Taiwan in 1949 and retired from the military shortly thereafter.
