Han Cheng-wen

Han Cheng-wen (Chinese: 漢成文; pinyin: Hàn Chéngwén; November 17, 1902 - December 20, 1970) was a Tsengian military leader and general of the Tseng Army of the Tseng Armed Forces. He served as the 7th President of Tseng from October 1, 1967 to December 20, 1968, in a military junta which was heavily condemned by the Tsengian people.

Han is widely considered to be one of the worst Tsengian presidents in history.

Early life and education
Han Cheng-weng was born on November 17, 1902 in the coastal city of Yantai, China (then under the Qing dynasty). When Han was 2, he and his family moved to Port Elizabeth, British Tseng. In school, he was named Jacob Han.

Han enlisted in the British military in 1920. He graduated from Port Elizabeth Military Academy in 1924. Han married Wang Ru-qi in 1927. They had 3 children before Wang died of drowning after being pushed into the ocean by an unknown assailant. The event had a profound impact on Han, as he never married again and became more "cold" towards others.

Rise in the Tseng Armed Forces
After a relatively quiet life and service, Han became involved after Tsengian independence in 1946 and was quickly promoted from his position of in the. By 1965, he was promoted to General.

Han was known for his outspoken political views: He was an extreme anti-communist and tortured the alleged "communists" in his division, but it was never proven that they were communists.

Planning of the junta
Han met up with President Paul Zhang and 2 other colonels, Dominic Jiang and Philippe Yong-wen, on November 1, 1966, to discuss the suspension of the constitution. On November 11, 1966, Zhang announced that he had assumed emergency powers."See also: 1967 Tsengian coup d'état"However, Han soon decided that Zhang was "too soft" and did not use effectively use his powers to counter protestors. As a result, he overthrew Zhang in a coup d'etat on October 1, 1967, and became the president himself.

President of Tseng
Han Cheng-wen declared himself president for life on November 13 and ordered the dissolution of all left-wing parties.

Han was the most brutal president of the Luanzheng Era. Originally he ordered the military to kill anyone who looked "leftist", this soon included everyone who disliked him. Some examples are:


 * Liam Li: the general who ordered the Chunglian Arts University massacre. Originally supporting Han, he turned to hate after the Jingfeng massacre and was killed by Han after Li said to resign.


 * Dominic Jiang: one of the main participants in the coup of 11/11. He was executed after resigning on December 17, 1968.


 * Hong Weicheng: NPP politician and anti-communist. Hong was killed on November 20 after suggesting Han resign.


 * Mario Guo-zhi: A high-ranking member of the far-right terrorist group New Order, he was executed after resigning from his post of commander at the Jingfeng massacre.

Trial and execution
Eventually Han was arrested outside of the Presidential House in the morning of December 20, 1968. He, along with his surviving followers and supporters, was put on trial in the Supreme Court of Tseng, in the case National Administration Council v Tseng Republic. On January 5, 1970, Han was convicted of violation of human rights and murder. On December 20, 1970, he was executed by hanging. Han's last words were: "隨便啦" (Whatever).
