Chang Meisheng

Chang Meisheng (常美胜) was a Bai politician, revolutionary and a soldier of the Socialist Alliance. She is the elder twin daughter of the last Middle Bai monarch the Yongren Emperor and Empress Consort Feng Meiqi. A Princess of the Bai Royal Family, she, like her father and sister, had backed the socialists and devoted her life to the restoration of the empire by opposing the fascists.

Born in 1899, she was educated privately at home. At a young age, she began to undertake public duties and served in the Royal Youth Women Corps in 1917. Like her father, she was a vocal critic of the fascists and openly supported the socialists. When Imperial rule was overthrown through the 1922 coup, she and her family fled to neighbouring Kanglapo, where they established the Alliance against the Fascists.

Chang evaded capture when Fascist agents assassinated her father and her sister in 1932. She fled to Izaland, where she met Yu Zeming, who secretly opposed his father's regime and sheltered her from fascist agents. Settling down in Izaland and marrying Yu, she gave birth to Bai's future monarch Yu Jianshi. However, soon afterwards, her health declined sharply, as she suffered symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Despite receiving treatment, she eventually died of a sudden stroke in 1949.
