Zhou Meiyu (Chinese: 周美玉)[1] (1910–2001) was a Chinese nurse, known as "the mother of military nursing in China"[2] and "among the most influential Chinese nurses of the early twentieth century".[3] She was the founder of the Army School of Nursing at the Emergency Medical Service Training School in Guiyang, a strong proponent of military nursing during and after the Second Sino-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War, and the first woman in the Republic of China to attain the rank of major general (少將, shaojing).[3][4] Xu Nanli, an adjunct professor at National Yang-Ming University who studied under her, described her as the "nightingale" of China.[5]
