Qiu Shaoyun (Chinese: 邱少云; pinyin: Qiū Shàoyún) (June 1, 1926 – October 12, 1952) was born in a small village named Qiujiagou in Guanjian town (now called Shaoyun town) of Tongliang county, Sichuan province (after 1997 is in Chongqing City). He joined the People's Liberation Army in 1949 and earned recognition in the campaigns that were waged to exterminate bandits. Early 1951, Qiu signed up with the Chinese Volunteer Army taking part in the Korean War. In October 1952, Qiu died as a martyr in the Korean War, and is considered by the Chinese government to be a war hero. In the struggle for Hill 391, Qiu and his squad mates crawled closer to the enemy position, using hay and twigs as natural camouflage. The UN troops used incendary bombs, dropped by airplanes, to try and smoke out the Chinese units. It is claimed Qiu got trapped in the ensuing brush fire and in order to not betray the 500 other Chinese soldiers taking part in the assault, he did not move and burned to death.
