Qiu Shaoyun

Qiu Shaoyun (; 1 June 1926 – 12 October 1952) was a Chinese soldier, who is regarded as a war hero by China and North Korea for his actions during the Korean War.

Early life Chinese military records say Qiu was born in 1931 in Tongliang County, Sichuan Province.

In 2016, a court in Beijing convicted a blogger, who ridiculed the official government narrative of Qiu's death through social media posts, of "undermining the public interest" and "causing Qiu's family psychological trauma". As punishment, the court ordered him to pay Qiu's brother 1 renminbi and issue public apologies for five consecutive days. Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said while the blogger used inappropriate words in his posts, the court ruling would limit freedom of historical inquiry.
