Early life edit

The official Chinese government narrative says in October 1952, Qiu was a member of a unit that tried to ambush United Nations Command positions which occupied No. 391 highland. At around on the 12, incendiary bombs were fired by UN forces, one of which landed near Qiu's position. Instead of trying to extinguish the flames, Qiu immolated himself so that the rest of unit could remain hidden.[2][1]

Censorship edit

In 2016, a court in Beijing convicted a blogger who ridiculed the official government narrative through social media posts of “undermining the public interest” and “causing Qiu’s family psychological trauma.” As punishment, the court ordered him to pay Qiu's brother 1 renminbi and issue public apologies for five consecutive days.[1] Qiao Mu, a journalism professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said while the blogger used inappropriate words in his posts, the court ruling would limit freedom of historical inquiry.[1]

Awards edit

Qiu Shaoyun was posthumously awarded membership in the Chinese Communist Party, a Special-Class Merit citation and the title of "First-Class Hero of the Chinese People's Volunteers Army".[2] In North Korea, the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea posthumously awarded him the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", the Gold-Star Medal, and the First-Class Medal of National Flag.[2]
