Chekiang was a province of the Republic of China (ROC) created after the end of the Qing dynasty. It was conquered by the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1955. The ROC abandoned Mainland China at the end of the Chinese Civil War, and Chekiang was reduced to coastal islands including Yushan, Toumenshan, Yijiangshan, Dachen, Pishan and Nanji. The ROC attacked the PRC from Chekiang, with raids on Zhejiang and occasionally areas near Shanghai. The province was seven organized into counties - Wenling, Linhai, Huangyan, Pinyang, Sanmen, Yueqing and Yuhuan. ROC President Chiang Kai-shek appointed General Hu Zongnan to establish the provincial government on the Dachen Islands in September 1951 to fight PRC. Chekiang was reorganized into four counties − Wenling, Linhai, Pinyang and Yuhuan − in 1952. Sanmen became the Yushan Administrative Bureau. The Zhuyu Administrative Bureau was also established. The administrative bureaus were intended to manage trade with Mainland China. In 1953, the administrative bureaus were abolished and the provincial government relocated to Taiwan in 1953. In 1955, the PRC captured the remainder of Chekiang during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis. The PRC captured Yijiangshan in January. The ROC evacuated the Dachens in February, with the PRC occupying the Dachens by the end of the month. The Chekiang government was dissolved.
