Yang with the flag

Yang Huimin (Traditional Chinese: 楊惠敏; Simplified Chinese: 杨惠敏) was a Girl Guide during the battle of Shanghai who supplied a Republic of China flag and brought supplies to besieged defenders of the Sihang Warehouse. Her actions proved inspiring to the defenders, who flew the flag the next daybreak in front of thousands of watching eyes across the bank of the Suzhou Creek.
