Zhao Hong Wenguo (Chinese: 趙洪文國; Wade–Giles: Chao Hung Wen-kuo; 1881–1950), known commonly as Double Gun Grandma, was a Manchu of the Bordered Yellow Banner and the Aisin-Gioro Clan,[1][2] an active fighter and organizer against the Empire of Japan who helped mobilize her family of 30 people and many other Manchurians to fight against Japan in the Second Sino-Japanese War[3] in Anti-Japanese volunteer armies.
In April 1949, at the end of the Second Chinese Civil War, Zhao Hongwenguo organized guerrillas for the KMT and established a guerrilla zone on the mainland to resist the People's Liberation Army entering Sichuan. In February 1950, Zhao was arrested and executed after refusing to surrender.
