Zhao Hong Wenguo (Chinese: 趙洪文國; Wade–Giles: Chao Hung Wen-kuo; 1881–1950), known commonly as Double Gun Grandma, was a Manchu of the Bordered Yellow Banner and the Aisin-Gioro Clan, an active fighter and organizer against the Empire of Japan who helped mobilize her family of 30 people and many other Manchurians to fight against Japan in the Second Sino-Japanese War in Anti-Japanese volunteer armies.
In April 1949, at the end of the Second Chinese Civil War, Zhao Hongwenguo organized guerrillas for the KMT and established a guerrilla zone on the mainland to resist the People's Liberation Army entering Sichuan. In February 1950, Zhao was arrested and executed after refusing to surrender.
