Ying Yin (Chinese: 英茵, 28 March 1916 – 23 January 1942) was a Chinese actress active in the 1930s and 1940s. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in 1942, she worked for the Chinese intelligence. She assisted a Chinese resident in Hong Kong, who was apprehended and shot by the Japanese occupation authorities. Ying Yin, who loved him, was unable to endure this situation, and committed a Shinjū suicide by taking a large dose of opium.
