'''Huang Jiguang''' ([[Chinese]]: 黄继光)(1931-1952) from [[Sichuan Province]] joined the [[Chinese People's Volunteers Army]] in March [[1951]] to fight against the Americans in Korea. He fought bravely and won a third-class merit citation. At the battle of Triangle Hill (or Shangganling as called in Chinese) in October [[1952]], Huang Jiguang's unit attacked an enemy blockhouse. After hurling his last hand grenade, Huang hurled himself against the machine gun slit, blocking American fire and sacrificing his life. As a result of his heroism, the People's Volunteers Army soldiers overran the position and annihilated two battalions of the enemy.

Huang was posthumously given the title of "Special-Class Hero". The North Korea awarded Huang Jiguang the title of "Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea", a Gold-Star Medal and the Medal of the National Flag, First-Class.
