The Five Martyrs of the League of Left-Wing Writers were five Chinese writers associated with the League of Left-Wing Writers – Li Weisen, Hu Yepin, Rou Shi, Yin Fu, and Feng Keng – executed on 7 February 1931 by the Kuomintang in the White Terror in Shanghai.

Eighteen other communists were executed on the same day, including a pregnant woman.[1]

Some writers have suggested that the five may have been betrayed by others in the Communist Party, perhaps as a result of a power struggle.[2]
