Yue Yi-chin

(

)

... that the family of Yue Yi-chin, a Chinese flying ace of the Second Sino-Japanese War, claimed to descend from the Song dynasty general and folk hero Yue Fei? Source: "Yue, Yi-chin was born in 1911 in Lushan, Szechuan Province. According to family lore, his unusual surname came about because of a famous ancestor, Yue, Fei (岳飛). A national hero of the Southern Sung Dynasty (12th century), he had been put to death as a result of false accusations from rivals in the court. Members of his family fled to Szechuan and changed their surname to a character with the same pronunciation but a different writing." (Cheung, Raymond (2015). Tony Holmes, ed. Aces of the Republic of China Air Force, p. 18)
