YANG ZHIHUA (1900-1973). Born in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, she entered Hangzhou No. 1 Female Normal School in 1919 and was later expelled as a result editing a progressive student journal. In 1922, she joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League. She went to Shanghai University in 1923, majoring in sociology, and became a Communist member in 1924. She participated in the May Thirtieth Movement and the third armed uprising of workers in Shanghai in the 1930s. She was one of the four women accorded official delegate status at the Communist Party's Fifth Congress of 1927, where she was confirmed as director of the Women's Bureau and elected as the only woman on the Central Committee. In 1928, she attended the Sixth Congress of the CCP and remained to study in Moscow's Sun Yat-Sen University. In 1941, she was arrested by Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang on her way back from the USSR and was not released until after World War II. After the founding of the PRC, she held important positions in the All-China Women's Federation, and All-China Worker's Union. Imprisoned for many years during the Cultural Revolution, she was persecuted to death.
