Yu Chen Yueh-ying (Chinese: 余陳月瑛; pinyin: Yú Chén Yuèyīng; 2 September 1926 – 26 May 2014) was a Taiwanese politician, judge and matriarch of the Yu family, a political family that dominated politics in the former Kaohsiung County for more than thirty years.[1] (Kaohsiung County was merged with Kaohsiung City on December 25, 2010, to form a special municipality, Kaohsiung). Among her six children is Yu Cheng-hsien, who served as the Interior Minister from 2002 to 2004.[2][3]
