Dr. Yang Kuang Sheng Memorial

This is the Dr. Yang Kuang Sheng Memorial, found inside the Manila Chinese Cemetery. Dr. Yang Kuang Sheng was the Chinese Consul-General to the Philippines during the Second World War. He refused to collaborate with the Japanese Occupation Forces, and was tortured and executed by the Japanese in 1942 right on this spot where this memorial now stands. His heroism and martyrdom (together with his eight staff), was recognized by the Chinese and Philippine Government who cooperated to erect this magnificent memorial.
