Farias Peng Chenliang (Chinese: 彭陈亮; pinyin: Péng Chénliàng; November 2, 1994 - November 4, 2024^[3]^[4]^[5]) was a Chinese volunteer soldier from Yunnan who served in Ukraine's International Legion since April 2024 to fight alongside Ukrainian forces against Russian military invasion. According to CNA, Peng was killed by shellfire during a combat operation on the eastern front, becoming the first and, until his death, the only Chinese national confirmed to have participated in the war on Ukraine’s side.^[2]

Personal life

Originally from Yunnan Province, China, Peng left the country after authorities detained him for seven months for posts on X that were deemed anti-Russian, anti-CCP and pro-Taiwan.^[2]

After arriving in Ukraine, he lived in Lviv and considered it his new home, where he met his Ukrainian girlfriend.^[6]^[2]
