**Chu Cha-pei** was an [anarchist](Anarchism "wikilink") [guerilla
|
|
leader and soldier](List_of_Libertarian_Socialists "wikilink"), active
|
|
in the [Yunnan Resistance](Yunnan_Resistance_\(1950s\) "wikilink"). The
|
|
only known account of him comes from an interview with [H.L.
|
|
Wei](H.L._Wei "wikilink") in 1975, who said he was "a sort of
|
|
[Chinese](China "wikilink") [Makhno](Nestor_Makhno "wikilink"), from the
|
|
Yunnan province in the south, near Burma and Indo-China, the son of a
|
|
soldier and attended Whampoa Military Academy. He read [Pa
|
|
Chin's](Ba_Jin "wikilink") translations of anarchist classics and an
|
|
ardent anarchists. He later met Pa Chin and visited me and my wife in
|
|
Nanjing in 1936. He told us that one day he would welcome us to an
|
|
anarchist utopia in the south. Chu Cha-pei actually knew about Makhno
|
|
from Bao Puo, who wrote about him in the paper *Kuo Feng* (National
|
|
Folkways) after returning to China from Moscow in 1923. Chu was tall,
|
|
strong, intelligent. Like Pa Chin, he was a man of few words. He fought
|
|
in turn against the Japanese, the Nationalists, and the Communists, just
|
|
as Makhno had fought against the Austro-German occupiers, the Whites and
|
|
Nationalists, and the Communists. Again like Makhno, his base of
|
|
activity was in the mountains of his native district in the south, which
|
|
he continued to launch attacks against the Communist authorities
|
|
throughout the 1950s. He is probably still there, still alive, hiding in
|
|
the mountains of Yunnan, though his precise whereabouts are
|
|
unknown."\[1\]
