Liao Yiaoxiang (Chinese: 廖耀湘; pinyin: Liào Yàoxiāng; 16 May 1906 – 2 December 1968), was a high-ranking Kuomintang commander who successful fought against both the Imperial Japanese Army and Chinese Communist forces. Apart from General Sun Liren, he was one of the few Nationalist commanders who graduated from a military academy in the West. After the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, he served as a field commander in Manchuria until his capture by Marshal Lin Biao's Manchurian Field Army in the Liaoshen Campaign. [1] General Liao was held for 12 years as a prisoner of war until 1961 and died seven years later during the Cultural Revolution.
