Du Yuming

Du Yuming commanded the 5th Corps in the Battle of Kunlun Pass against Japanese forces. His troops achieved a tactical victory, recapturing the pass. The battle was one of the few KMT successes in the early phase of the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Du Yuming, as commander of KMT forces in Manchuria, was captured by the People's Liberation Army during the Liaoshen Campaign. He surrendered after his army was encircled and defeated. His capture was a major blow to the KMT in the civil war.

Du Yuming was released from a Communist prison after being granted a special pardon. He was later appointed to a symbolic post in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. His rehabilitation was part of the CCP's policy toward former KMT officials.
