Lu Han (simplified Chinese: 卢汉; traditional Chinese: 盧漢; pinyin: Lú Hàn; 6 February 1895 – 13 May 1974)[1] was a Chinese general of Yi ethnicity, who served in important military and political positions under both the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China.[2][3] A prominent warlord of Yunnan, he was closely associated with Long Yun, who was first an ally and then a rival, although both ended up collaborating with the Communist Party of China.[4]
A graduate of the Yunnan Military Academy, Lu Han notably commanded the 1st Group Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[5] After the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War, he joined the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, and went on to serve as Vice President of the National Sports Commission (today the General Administration of Sport), member of both the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, as well as Vice Chairman of the Southwest China Military and Political Committee.[6]
