Ye Zhao

Ye Zhao (Chinese: 葉肇) was a KMT general from Guangdong. He graduated from the Baoding Military Academy in 1919. In 1937, he fought at the Battle of Shanghai. During the Nationalist withdrawal from Shanghai, Ye obtained a set of used peasant clothes from a deserted farm building west of the building, and was conscripted as a porter by the advancing Japanese, who had no idea of his real identity. He survived and eventually made his way back to Shanghai.[1] Ye commanded the 21st group in November 1939 and was detained in April 1940 following the army's loss at Kunlun Pass.[2] In 1949, he went to Hong Kong and later settled in Taiwan.
