Chuang Chu Yu-nu

Chuang Chu Yu-nu (Chinese: 莊朱玉女; pinyin: Zhuāng Zhū Yùnǚ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chng-Chu Gio̍k-lú; 4 September 1920 – 13 February 2015) was a philanthropist in Taiwan, who was called "the patron saint of poor people".

She married her husband at the age of 16, and moved with him to Kaohsiung, adding his surname Chuang to her full name.

During World War II, her husband was ordered by the Japanese Empire to Southeast Asia to be a porter.

The couple left Taipower for Kaohsiung Harbor after Chuang Chu's husband was injured climbing a telephone pole.

[1] Chuang Chu felt that her colleagues at Kaohsiung Harbor worked very hard, so she started to run a buffet stall for the workers in 1951.
