The Yu Zisan Incident,[1] also known as Yu Tse-san Incident,[2] was a series of political events ignited by the death of Yu Zisan, then 23-year-old chairman of the Students' Autonomous Association (SAA) at National Che Kiang University (NCKU) during the Chinese Civil War. Suspected of links with communist factions, Yu was detained on 25 October 1947 at Hangzhou Garrison Headquarters and died there five days later. The Nationalist government asserted that Yu committed suicide fearing conviction, a claim the university did not endorse. His death, widely seen as a government effort to quell student activism, sparked widespread anti-government protests across China in November and December 1947.[1][3][4]
