Jin Weiying

Jin Weiying (金维映, 16 August 1904 – c. 1940/1941), sometimes known as Ah Jin, was a Chinese teacher, revolutionary, trade unionist, member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and participant in the Long March.

Early life Jin was born into a progressive gentry family on 16 August 1904 in Gaotingang, Dinghai District, Qing China. She moved with her family to the Zhoushan Islands as a child.

Jin was educated at the Dinghai Girls' Primary School, then studied at the Ningpo Women's Normal School under the principal Shen Yi to become a teacher. She also worked as a political instructor with the convalescent unit and organised food supplies. They married in Ruijin during the summer 1932, but he fell into political disfavour, and they had divorced before 1934.

Soon after her divorce, Jin married the Head of the Organization Department of the Chinese Communist Party, Li Weihan. They had a child, Li Tieying, in 1936. He Zizhen, Liu Ying and Li Jianzhen helped her with the birth. Jin died in 1940 or 1941. It is believed that her death occurred during German air raids on the Soviet Union during World War II. The "Jin Weiying Memorial Hall" is named in her honour. In 1994 the state posthumously recognized her as a revolutionary martyr.
