Cheng Muzhu

Cheng Muzhu was a Chinese who killed 324 people during the Sino-Indian War in 1962. Though not much is known about him, a few details are available about him.

Cheng was born on October 3, 1891 to a son of poor farmers. Cheng had schizophrenia, and did questionable stunts in his life, such as owning a large snake, whom he feed with yogurt. When the war began, he entered the army and first killed two men in combat. He was shot twice in the abdomen in one occasion during the battle and was saved by army doctors. He also carried a knife that he used during combat. It is said that he killed six men in combat with the knife.

Cheng began training with rifles and developed good pointing skills. He killed 68 opponents with ten days and injured many more. He was captured by opponent authorities where he was imprisoned. In prison he faked insanity so he could escape prison. Cheng's schizophrenia did not disappear when he began to be a soldier; it still continued throughout it. In an act of cannibalism, he would set fire to his finger, and when it would be badly burned, he would bite it.He was also noted for running naked in combat and jumping into rivers and would swim in the middle of the combat. By September 1962 he had killed 72 people. He eventually learned how to drive a tank in the army. He used a USMC M26 Pershing produced in the 1950s and used to drive it backwards. Due to his mental problems, he quit the war in the exact month it ended, November 1962. By this time he killed 176 people.

Cheng lived a quiet life before dying in 1979, aged 87.
