Biography

He was born on 10 January 1914 in Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. He studied for degrees at Harvard University and the London School of Economics.

He was appointed as Minister of Finance on 29 November 1967 and became Governor of the Central Bank of China in 1969.

As Premier, Yu was responsible for ending Taiwan's 38 years of martial law in 1987.[1][2] In October 1988, he walked out of a meeting of the Legislative Yuan, the first time a government official had done so, as extensive debate made it impossible for Yu to deliver his reports.[3] He died from complications from leukemia at 4pm on 4 October 2000 at the Veterans' General Hospital in Taipei.[4]

Yu was preceded by Sun Yun-suan and succeeded by Lee Huan.
