August 5, 1966 - Zhang Jun

Over the course of seven years, Zhang and his associates carried out a sustained campaign of armed robbery across five Chinese provinces, leaving a trail of casualties that made him one of the most wanted criminals in the country during that period. The scale and duration of the operation — spanning dozens of locations and resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries — drew intense public attention and ultimately a nationally publicized manhunt.
