'''Xu Cheng''' ''Taoyuanese: 許誠; English: Philipp Cheng'' (21 April 1917) is a retired Taoyuanese officer who fought during the [[Second Europan War]] and later, in the [[War of Lorican Aggression]]. Cheng is known for his anti-Imperialist views and like most of the Taoyuanese at that time, were fighting for independence. He was one of the Taoyuanese teenagers who were forcibly conscripted in the [[Imperial Quenminese Army]] prior to the start of the [[Second Europan War]]. In 1937, Cheng went AWOL during the Quenminese campaign in the [[Middle East Theatre]] and successfully fled to the Allied lines. Here, he defected and swore an oath to the [[Quenminese Nationalist Movement]], where most of the Taoyuanese sided with during the war. He was warmly accepted and was eventually sent to the [[Great Lucis and Accordo|United Kingdom]] to be trained, along with the Free Quenminese forces being trained there. Here, he found his expertise in hand-to-hand combat, hence he is often carrying a {{wp|Dao (Chinese sword)|Dadao}} in the field.
